Schema Therapy in New York, NY
You’re probably feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you’re tired of being upset and misunderstood all of the time, or of acting out on emotions because you think they control you, instead of the other way around. The cycle of feeling emotionally sensitive, overly anxious, guilty or ashamed, and always on edge, has probably taken a huge tole on your life and relationships. You might feel things more strongly than other people, and when you’re upset find yourself doing things that you later regret. If the above speaks to you, then you likely spend a lot of time feeling hurt, misunderstood, and alone. But you don’t need to keep living this way.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including schema therapy, transformational chair work, and trauma-focused therapy, tailored to get to the heart of the issue and help you regain a sense of agency in your life.
My specialty is working with people in transition, on the cusp between the past and the future. What worked before, works no more...or maybe it never did, really. So now what? I'm here to help you make decisions and take action so you feel in charge of your own life again (or for the first time).

You are more than your symptoms, you are a person who is seeking fulfilment. I am a psychotherapist, complex trauma specialist and Certified EMDR practitioner. I strive to provide clients with the best possible therapeutic care through understanding each person in the context of their own unique culture, values and life experiences. I use multiple integrative healing techniques based on the client's individual needs. My doctoral research (DSW) at NYU has enriched my understanding of attachment injury acquired through adverse childhood events and the treatment of complex layered trauma in adulthood.

I draw from CBT, ACT, DBT, Schema Therapy, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based approaches.
You may be used to holding everything together, even when you feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally drained inside. Many of the adults I work with are thoughtful, capable people who struggle with overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, ADHD, trauma responses, relationship stress, or feeling like they are “too much” and “not enough” at the same time.
My style is warm, structured, collaborative, and direct in a compassionate way. I help clients slow down their emotional responses, understand the patterns that keep them stuck, build boundaries, reduce shame, and make choices that feel more grounded and aligned.

I believe that therapy can be a powerful tool to help you navigate the many challenges of adult life. Our emotions can be complicated and may feel confusing or even overwhelming when trying to make sense of them alone. In my practice I offer a safe, supportive space to examine your feelings together and to explore and learn from the conflicts that keep you stuck.

Humans are hardwired for connection, that's why relationships (including the one we have with ourselves) are the fabric of our existence. We are products of our environments and experiences. For some of us, relationships and connecting with others in healthy ways can be challenging. We can work together, metabolizing internal conflict and transforming pain into purpose in a safe and empathic environment built upon acceptance, respect, and curiosity.

We have seasons in our lives that are filled with stress, anxiety, sadness, guilt, disappointment, grief, and even hopelessness. It can be overwhelming, getting stuck in a place where we cannot see a way forward, unable to change unwanted and repeated behaviors, where no one seems to understand or able to help, feeling frustrated, unmotivated, discouraged, alone, and even ashamed. Or you may be going through transitions, significant changes in work, family, relationships, and are understandably overwhelmed with uncertainty and feelings of loss. If this has been your experience, there is help to walk towards healing and renewal.

Life would be so much easier without uncomfortable feelings, painful experiences, and inner turmoil, but here we are. As humans, we are the universe getting to know itself, in all our joy and pain. In my practice, I aim to accompany you, using a trauma-informed lens and psychoanalytic approach to explore your unconscious, on your journey inward. I believe each of us has so much to learn and teach from our experiences and perspectives if we can give ourselves the space and self-compassion to process them.

From the outside, your life looks perfect. The career, the friend group, the curated posts, the accolades, the one everyone counts on.
But inside, you're stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, doomscrolling till 2 and spiraling. Despite helping everyone else you’re second-guessing every decision, and despite checking every box, something still feels off.
You've been taught your worth is based on what you do. So you keep performing... until the life you built looks good but doesn't feel good.
What if you could trade chaos for calm, perfection for peace, without losing your drive?

LLS Therapies supports individuals, couples, and students in high-expectation environments who carry a great deal internally. Many appear composed and capable on the outside while privately navigating stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or a sense of disconnection.
Many are the “responsible ones” who carry emotional pressure silently. If vulnerability feels foreign, you're not alone. We offer a calm, structured space to explore what's beneath the surface at a pace that honors your autonomy. We serve CT and NY via telehealth.
