Therapists in 10151
I work with adults ages 22-40 who are struggling with anxiety, imposter syndrome, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or experiencing burnout. Many of my clients identify as overthinkers and perfectionists, often paralyzed by decision-making. I help them untangle their thoughts, develop coping strategies, boost self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. Through our work together, you'll learn new coping skills, reshape your thinking and relationships, and address past traumas that may be contributing to feelings of stagnation, overwhelm, or disconnection from yourself and others.

New York, NY 10151 (Online Only)
I am a licensed counselor working primarily with millennials and adults. I specialize in those moving through radical life transitions such as moving, beginning/ending relationships, making career changes, and wanting to change their relationship with substances. Life transitions, even positive ones, can leave us feeling alone, stuck, confused, anxious, and even, despairing. I also help those struggling with loss and grief. My treatment with you will be tailored to your goals, preferences, and desired outcomes for therapy. I treat each of my clients with respect and provide an atmosphere full of safety and free of judgment.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
