I love working with people to understand their own patterns of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships. All of these patterns have a root cause, and have served you in some way at some time—even if they are now proving to be unhelpful or harmful. In our work together, we will come to better understand the problems you face, develop a plan to make a change, and then put that plan into action. I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, BPD, ADHD, patterns of difficulty regulating emotions, and pervasive isolation/interpersonal conflict.

Life feeling hard is normal, but there are times when it feels like too much. Grieving, worrying, connecting, differentiating, feeling stuck, relationship challenges, self doubt, fear, entrenched patterns that we can’t seem to change. It can feel impossible to figure out on your own where things are stuck and what might help.

Perhaps you have the things you always thought would bring you happiness, such as family, friends, and a good job, but you still feel like something is missing; that you are not as happy as you “should be.” Life can be challenging at times, resulting in feelings of sadness, anxiety, and stress. We can start to feel like we have lost control of our lives, or that we do not have the power to make positive changes. Genuine happiness feels out of reach, leaving us with a sense of emptiness or lack of social connection. Tackling these issues can be scary, leaving us feeling vulnerable and exposed.

Please email for a quicker response. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor that requires a deep sense of safety if clients are to risk creating the change they long for. I believe it is very important to cultivate a secure relationship. I use evidence-based therapies and use an eclectic blend of person-centered approaches to meet the needs of each individual. My goal is to meet each client where they are at, help them identify their innate assets and apply them to the areas of their lives where they are struggling. I believe that our mental and emotional health is just as important as our physical health.

I have been providing individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults for many years. I focus on helping clients with anxiety, depression and those living through traumatic experiences. I believe we all deserve to not only survive, but thrive. Living the life we deserve may look different for everyone.

Do you feel undeserving of your best life? Or carry a burden of shame from abuse as a child, and need help learning to love yourself? Therapy provides a healing path, and I will walk it with you. As kids we learn reading and math yet not how to handle troubling feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and shame. Psychotherapy teaches you how to love yourself. Relief comes as you drop harsh self-judgments that block moving from where you are now to where you want to be. You learn to discriminate between destructive self-criticism and positive self-correction.

I am a psychoanalytic psychologist working remotely with folks across NYS and in person in Hudson, NY. I think of therapy as a way to help people get more used to what living feels like. For some who come in for therapy, living has felt relatively smooth, and they’re drawn to session to get help with specific struggles that have come up suddenly. For others, living has felt too hard for quite some time. In our sessions, we learn how to sense our way through these experiences together. We’ll explore how it feels to invite a witness in to your experience and we’ll deepen your ability to care for yourself as you move through life.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
