Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in old patterns? Maybe you’re facing a big life change and aren’t sure how to move forward. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to go through it alone.

Our past experiences shape the way our brain works, influencing how we think, feel, and respond to the world around us. Over time, these experiences form cognitive, emotional or behavioral patterns that guide the choices we make. These patterns can affect how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we navigate our daily lives. When those patterns no longer serve us, therapy offers a space to explore them with compassion, understand where they came from, and begin to replace them with more helpful, intentional ways of thinking and behaving. This is how we create the change needed to move forward the life you want to live.

I work with patients navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, or trauma stemming from their relationships or family dynamics.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, and Psychoanalyst in NY, CT, and FL. In a safe and non-judgmental environment, my patients have the chance to understand unconscious motivations, resolve relationship issues, change patterns of behaviors, manage stressors, gain support through major life transitions, and alleviate and manage anxiety and depression. In my clinical work, I utilize a creative, eclectic contemporary approach depending on the individual patient and their needs, but I always approach the clinical work from an integrative/psychodynamic/psychoanalytical perspective.

Do you hold on to old experiences or painful memories that make you feel stuck, even when you want to move forward? If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. With expert support, you can recover from eating disorders, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and trauma.

Sometimes, even after we have achieved some of life’s major milestones, we can still wrestle with uncomfortable emotions; feelings of listlessness or the slight ache that something is missing. It may seem as if the world on the outside we have worked so hard to construct isn’t quite what it seems or brings us the happiness we hoped. The gap between what we feel and what we think we should feel can grow. We may experience feelings of self-doubt, shame, loneliness, and notice our relationships have begun to suffer. Where we once shined at work, feelings of boredom, impostor syndrome, or insecurity may plague us. Confusion sets in.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for 10 years in New York City. I describe my approach as warm, welcoming, empathic, open-minded, culturally competent, and humorous. Life is hard enough, so I like to laugh with my clients! I love to listen and help my clients have their "aha" moments as well as see things from a different perspective.

Protecting yourself from pain by trying not to feel it only causes more pain. Do you distract yourself from uncomfortable feelings by over-working, eating or drinking too much, shopping, or dating? Much unhappiness is created by no longer useful coping devices. Avoiding feelings like anger, shame, regret and powerlessness, closes off access to informative parts of you. In our work together, I utilize practical tools, not just theory, to help you identify and remain connected to your feelings. Staying connected to yourself while relating to others allows for loving in healthy ways and feeling loved and valued by others.
