I am a tween, teen, & adult psychoanalytic therapist. I have specialized experience with the LGBTQ+ community, artists, bariatric patients, and former Orthodox Jews. My style is warm, creative, and playful; integrating humor and my background as a musical theatre writer.

I utilize a combination of psychodynamic and CBT approaches, specializing in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, and self-perception challenges, transitions associated with significant milestones, and navigating pre/postpartum and all stages of child rearing.

In my private practice I offer psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy in which I strive to create a relationship and process in which it is possible to articulate a narrative of your self and your life that can be experienced as resonant and authentic, towards an alleviation of that which ails you. Your personal, historical, and cultural formation is critical in our exploration of who you are and who you strive to become. The state of being anxious or depressed or melancholic is one we will together attempt to understand as a surfacing of a deep and interior self to be understood and integrated.

I have been in private practice in NYC for more than a decade. I especially enjoy working with adults and young adults who are struggling with relationships, career, and self-worth.

I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS.) As a student of Buddhist meditation for over 15 years, I often integrate mindfulness-based skills into my work when appropriate. I am licensed in NY, NJ, MA, FL.

I use IMAGO relationship therapy to help individuals, couples and caregivers as they attempt to create healthier relationships in their lives. Together we figure out their relationship patterns, the causes of conflict in their relationships, and ways to heal those parts of the self that are more difficult to access. Through our work, clients learn to increase their flexibility, become more effective in their relationships, and live with more intention.

For long-lasting change to occur in therapy, I believe you must feel truly heard, valued, and cared for in treatment. I continuously collaborate with you to assess the progress of treatment together so that you truly feel you are growing in your therapeutic journey.
