Maybe you’re pregnant and feeling anxious about what’s ahead… or a new mom feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering if you’re doing anything right. You may be feeling sad, afraid or ambivalent about this new role. I’m Michele, a LCSW in New York city. As your therapist, I am warm, curious, interactive, and easy to talk to.

No human is broken. We are all, simply, the logical conclusion of the sum of our total experiences, operating in the exact way the human system was intended to operate, by adapting.

In a relational, humanistic, and conversational style, we will work to piece together your narrative in a way that connects the total sum of your experiences to your present thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns. Through focusing on development of the ability to maintain internal validity and positive self-regard, individuals will actively reduce self-shame, self-judgement, and self-harm, in order to find the healing, growth, and change they are hoping for.

I’ve been in private practice since 2004, working with adults individually, in couples, and in groups. My style is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can be yourself and share freely. You’ll find me listening intently, asking questions, but also allowing for moments of quiet reflection. My approach is informed by my training in psychoanalysis as well as cognitive behavioral therapies, and I believe that a good therapeutic fit, where you feel truly seen and heard, can be transformative.
