Together, we will identify the barriers that stand in your path and cultivate strategies and skills to better manage and overcome. My priority is establish a strong foundation of trust so you feel safe as we work to create the life you dream of.

From the outside it looks like you have it all together - you’re the “go-to” friend, a devoted partner and family member, a top-ranked executive, a successful start-up founder - but on the inside you are often struggling to hold it all together. Friends and family praise your accomplishments, and you think to yourself “if only they knew what it takes”. If this feels like you, know that you are not alone. With the innumerable stressors we face living and working in today's world it is only a matter of time before even the most resilient, accomplished individuals realize that they need some extra help.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. An achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with individuals and couples to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined.

Transitioning to adulthood can be a confusing time where life goes from black and white to being extremely grey. Adulthood can bring up questions you have never asked yourself, leaving people feeling confused and out of control about who they are.

Living in NYC can be both exciting and overwhelming even on your best days. Between your daily responsibilities, taking care of others’ needs, and the pressure to always have it together, you wonder how you can find the time or space to attend to your own needs. I want to help you harness your hidden superpowers to better manage the changes and stressors in your life (even the positive ones), improve your quality of life and relationships, find purpose and fulfillment, use your time more meaningfully, set healthy boundaries without guilt, and decrease feelings of burnout, shame, sadness, isolation, chaos, numbness, or pain.

When we begin working together the client will set the pace and tone for treatment. This means we will work on identifying where you would like to take your treatment and how to begin. You may have realized you would like to help ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and even interpersonal conflicts.

As humans, our own minds can be our strongest source of power, our greatest mystery, or our biggest enemy–often all at once. Your mind sometimes feels like “you”, sometimes only a part of you, and sometimes not you at all. Therapy helps you explore, accept, understand and learn to work with your own thoughts, feelings and habits. We can collaborate to help you manage the power of your unique mind to get unstuck and move forward in life.

As a therapist and yoga teacher, part of my approach involves integrating mindfulness, the mind-body connection, and movement into talk therapy. By bringing awareness to how your body experiences emotions, we can address stress, overwhelm, and anxiety you’re carrying and create space for more joy, compassion, and ease. We’ll also use other evidence-based strategies to recognize unhelpful patterns, explore the relationship between your past and present experiences, and identify goals to support the future self you want to create.

Ultimately, my clients frequently aspire to cultivate a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and peace.

Most people solve most problems on their own or with help from friends, but that doesn’t always work. Troubles mount up. Upheavals catch you unawares. “Go to” solutions can leave you empty-handed. Even planned changes can be disorienting - new jobs, retirement, new relationships, going off to school, children leaving home. Sometimes people just need help coping, changing bad habits, or thinking through options. Other times people feel hemmed in by circumstances, or find they don’t recognize themselves in the life they lead and want to deepen their sense that the life they are living reflects their own values and choices.
