Offering in-person appointments in TriBeCa and the Upper West Side plus telehealth appointments

People often seek therapy when feeling stuck: painfully alienated from what they desire, torn between conflicting impulses, and stuck with a version of themselves they find confusing and dissatisfying. Through careful listening and exploration, our work will help to illuminate how old wounds and ways of surviving have restricted your ability to feel, work, love, and even play freely. Moments of vulnerability in therapy can be opportunities to shut down, or they can be opportunities for introspection and transformation – I pay close attention to each patient’s needs, wishes, and fears to help steer you towards the latter outcome.

My approach tends to be curious, warm, and focused on helping you to find new ways of understanding your current predicament. I believe that an open, non-judgmental space in which to express the full range of your experiences is essential for personal growth. It is a powerful thing to learn experientially that you can survive any corner of your mind.

I have experience working with patients from a variety of cultural backgrounds and across the lifespan. While my approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, I incorporate interventions from DBT when indicated. In addition to difficulties with mood, motivation, anxiety, and relationships, I specialize in working with the psychological effects of trauma as well as cancer and other medical illnesses. I look forward to speaking with you.
