  • Psychoanalyst
    New York

I offer psychoanalysis and psychotherapy to adults in person near Union Square. I specialize in matters related to the body, wishes and desires, and relationships of all kinds, which is another way of saying anything related to gender, sexuality, and embodiment. I’m also a generalist at heart and see people experiencing depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, and other difficulties. I approach the therapeutic process as a meaningful, co-created experience that lends itself to new ways of being in the world.

My office is just south of Union Square in Manhattan. I also offer virtual therapy for those outside the NYC area. In our work together, we’ll explore how your interests and obstacles, as well as how social and cultural factors, contribute to your approach to life and its challenges. For those looking to go deeper, I offer psychoanalytic sessions at a higher frequency—two or more times per week.

In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as the Chair of the Sexuality and Gender Initiative and the co-chair of the Colloquium Committee at the Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis. I also teach at the Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis and the National Training Program in Contemporary Psychoanalysis, as well as the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research. My essay, “Mask Up,” was awarded the 2023 Symonds Prize and was published in Studies in Gender and Sexuality. My writing has also appeared or is forthcoming in The New Inquiry, The Ersatz Experience, and Autotheory and Its Others.
