My approach to therapy is to provide a supportive and safe environment where you feel heard, understood, and never judged. Work, school, becoming a new parent, losing a loved one, receiving a medical diagnosis, and many situations life throws at us can leave us feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or even angry.  Together we can work through these transitions and experiences to help you gain insight, concrete tools, and specific strategies as you increase your self-esteem, sense of agency, and self compassion.  

I specialize in helping people struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, interpersonal issues at home, work and school, or those trying to break free of unhelpful patterns.  As a former lawyer, I understand the unique demands, stress, and expectations many lawyers, students, executives,  and high-level professionals experience, including perfectionism, imposter syndrome, relationship struggles, and difficulty achieving a work-life balance.  My life experience and career as a large NYC firm lawyer combined with my empathy and compassion enable me to be your teammate to help you achieve your goals.  Together, we can explore how your life experiences impact your current relationships and patterns in order to help you live fully and authentically.

My experience includes working with teenagers and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, chronic mental illness, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, grief and bereavement, and LGBTQ identity and support.  I also have experience working with children and adolescents with developmental disabilities, adults with Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and other degenerative illnesses, and cancer.   

Prior to becoming a therapist, I received my JD from Cardozo School of Law and practiced law at a large NYC firm.
