Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in New York, NY
I’m a licensed mental health counselor who integrates science-backed, evidence-based approaches—including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT and DBT—to help individuals manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief with extensive clinical experience.
I am trained in CBT, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS level 2), and DBT. I use these tools to meet each client’s unique goals. I believe therapy is most effective when it’s rooted in a strong, collaborative relationship, so I take time to listen deeply and build a space where you can feel safe, curious, and supported when we explore solutions.

I approach therapy relationally and draw from several theoretical frameworks including psychodynamic and person-centered theories, also incorporating ideas from CBT and DBT in my work.
As a Queer and Jewish woman, I am particularly passionate about identity formation and issues surrounding anxiety, gender and sexuality, religious identity, relationships with others, and life transitions. I also have experience working with clients who have ADHD and are navigating how that impacts their lives.

I integrate a variety of modalities into my work with clients, including taking a strengths-based, client-centered approach, while also blending EMDR therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, trauma-focused CBT & DBT techniques, systems theory, psychoeducation, and of course, trauma-informed care.

If you're struggling with a complex trauma history, I will work alongside you to help you cope with these challenging experiences and manage the overwhelming emotions that typically accompany them.

I provide evidence-based therapy (including CBT, ACT, DBT, exposure therapy) to help others live personally meaningful, enriching lives.
From the moment I first stepped into a biopsychology class in college, I was captivated. The idea that effective therapy could reshape the brain—that it could literally rewire how someone experiences their world—blew my mind and set me on a path I’ve been deeply passionate about ever since.
I’ve always loved people. The messiness, the nuance, the stories that shape us. Building relationships and getting curious about what makes us who we are felt natural to me. Therapy gave me a way to pair that curiosity with real tools for healing. I focus on cultivating genuine, trusting client relationships—meeting you exactly where you are.

As a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS-C) with ten years of clinical experience, I integrate psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, AF-EMDR, and parts work to support your unique healing journey
Beneath the polished exterior of high achievement, does a relentless inner critic demand perfection while you wonder if you'll ever be enough? (Spoiler: your inner critic makes a terrible life coach.)
You excel in many areas, yet success brings increased overwhelm and pressure to maintain the façade. Your mind obsesses over your every move, from criticizing your last social interaction to shaming your food choices and physical appearance. Relationships feel performative rather than genuine, as if you're constantly auditioning for the role of "totally fine human".
