Together, we will create a personalized plan to foster meaningful growth, self-acceptance and lasting transformation.

I’m a New York City-based modern psychotherapist with a focus on life transitions, dating & relationships, anxiety, and self-esteem. As a young professional myself, I intimately understand the unique struggles that come with navigating life in New York as a 20-something in today’s world. While I’m skilled in traditional modalities like CBT and psychodynamic therapy, the "blank slate" days are over. I’m not the kind of therapist that simply listens, nods, and asks how that makes you feel. Instead, I share unique insights and challenge you to confront difficult truths.

Life presents us with challenges; everyone experiences a degree of distress or worry along the way. Psychotherapy provides a safe, supportive partnership in which you can begin to understand your experiences, identify areas you'd like to change, build on strengths, and ultimately make choices to create a greater sense of well-being. Many individuals I work with are intelligent, accomplished people who feel they could benefit from a deeper exploration of the questions they are encountering with respect to career, relationships or personal identity. Additionally, I have an interest in working on issues specific to artists and creative professionals.

My favorite part of being a therapist is collaborating with folks as they become more and more themselves. So much can get in the way. Layers of protection that dull emotional expression and receptiveness; adaptations to anxiety and trauma that make forward movement hard; difficult relational experiences keeping us stuck in unhelpful patterns; chronic low self-esteem that makes it hard to see ourselves clearly; familial/social/cultural expectations and influences can elicit confusion, and depression can dull connection to everything/anything - to ourselves, as much as to others.
