I am a Manhattan-based "thera-coach" specialized in ADHD & the variety of coexisting conditions that accompany it. Whether clients are struggling with executive functioning, anxiety, relationships, family dynamics, career or academic challenges, substance misuse or general life transitions, I take a kind, collaborative, supportive yet direct approach to therapy. My goal is to empower clients with the tools and confidence to understand their past without judgment, take ownership of their present and take positive steps towards their ideal future.
