Many women struggle silently with mood changes, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts during pregnancy and after birth. You might find yourself feeling overwhelmed, irritable, tearful, or disconnected from your baby or your partner.

I specialize in working in with high achieving women navigating complex chronic illness, chronic pelvic pain and women’s health issues as well as the anxiety and grief that come along with it. My clients are striving to find stability with illness all while juggling their career, relationships and family. I absolutely love what I do and am a firm believer that day to day life can get so much better with a support team behind you.

You may be wondering why I niched in women’s health. Simply put, I get it. After living with chronic illnesses for fifteen years, struggling to find correct diagnoses, surgeries and countless treatments, I understand first hand the impact of women’s health issues on your mental health. I empathize with the toll it takes on your body and your most important relationships. I get the grief that comes with the loss of dreams you had for your future, struggling with your identity as a woman and feeling betrayed by your body. My hope is to use my therapeutic skills and real life experience to help you get to the other side.

I founded New York Women’s CBT and expanded to group private practice with the goal of providing niched, expert care for more women in New York. Our clinicians are experts and passionate about working within women’s health issues. We want to walk together through pain and grief you are feeling, help you cope with anxiety and feel the fog of depression lifted. Complex chronic illness and health issues are a part of your story-they do not have to be all of your story.

I work with adults navigating life transitions and struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, perfectionism, and shame. I also specialize in helping people make peace with their bodies and heal their relationships with food and exercise.

I’m a psychotherapist with over two decades of experience helping individuals, couples, and families move through the complex and often contradictory realities of being human. My work is grounded in psychodynamic exploration and shaped by a strengths-based belief that people aren’t starting from scratch—they already hold the insight, resilience, and inner resources needed for healing. Therapy offers the support and perspective that allow those parts to emerge.

I draw from a broad and flexible range of modalities—DBT, IFS, AF-EMDR, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and addiction-informed approaches—so the work is responsive, intuitive, and tailored to each person’s needs and inner rhythm.

Collaboration is central to my practice. Clients thrive when the professionals supporting them are aligned, so I welcome close partnership with other clinicians to create thoughtful, coordinated care. I also provide supervision and consultation for therapists who want to deepen their clinical thinking and show up for their clients with clarity, consistency, and humanity.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have always loved helping others. My passion for working with people in their 20s and 30s stems from years of working with children and adolescents in schools. I’ve helped students find their own path into adulthood and see my current work as a continuation of offering that guidance and support. Previous clients describe me as very kind, empathetic, non-judgmental, and caring. Counseling is in my blood, it's all I have ever done and I feel as passionate about it today as I did when I started.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and trained psychoanalyst and I see my role as helping you to understand and resolve the conflicts that are making you feel unsatisfied.

I specialize in working with people facing, loss, life transitions and early and midlife career changes. I also have worked with many 2nd and 3rd generation Holocaust survivors. I have a strong interest in the impact of the transmission of trauma from one generation to another, about which I teach, present and write.

As a LCSW in NY, NJ, DC and CT with more than 15 years of experience in medical and mental health settings, I am adept at supporting the needs of individuals, couples, and families around the issues that arise over the trajectory of illness.
