Helping people help themselves. Adults and couples. Anxiety, depression, dependency, uncertain fears and specific symptoms. Conflict, school and job stress, trauma, bereavement. I draw on decades of experience (and was the Clinical Unit Administrator for two agencies). With empathy, time, and care, I help people to draw on their strengths to learn to be good communicators and effective problem-solvers and to gain a sense of control, meaning, and wholesome relatedness.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic candidate at Psychoanalytic Association of NY (affiliated with NYU Medical School). I have over 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and couples. My approach is broadly psychodynamic/psychoanalytic. Engaging in psychotherapy requires bravery. Talking about yourself to a stranger and facing your issues can feel daunting. Yet, psychotherapy can be exciting and illuminating as it leads you to discover more about yourself, such as why you keep doing the same thing over and over and what is holding you back from living more fully and freely.

Throughout my almost 10-year career I have worked with individuals dealing with anxiety, managing depression, relationship struggles, and stress management. I have a relaxed, empathetic approach and I believe that gaining rapport and trust is important in making my clients comfortable in therapy.

At times, life can feel like one big transition. Right when you overcome one challenge, another always seems to pops up. It can feel overwhelming to handle it all, whether you are a stay at home mom in the throughs of toddlerhood or a homeschool mom trying to navigate health challenges for your family members or a career driven mom trying to balance it all. The one thing I’ve learned over the years is that if you aren’t taking care of yourself physically (your health), spiritually (having a faith practice), and relationally (making time for in person connections), life can feel a whole lot more challenging than it should.

What is holding you back? I work with young adults who don't know the answer to that question, who are struggling with life transitions, finding a purpose, and may be having a life "crisis." Often my clients are dealing with depression and anxiety related to difficulty making decisions, are stuck in an unsatisfying job, or are feeling confused and uncertain about the next step in their life. My goal is to help you understand what you want and what's holding you back.

I will help you work past the blocks that prevent you from living wholeheartedly: I want to help you have the relationship you desire, move beyond depression and anxiety, feel satisfied with your career, or be creative.
Relationship is at the heart of effective therapy. My central focus at the beginning is to create a safe, non-judgmental space with you so that our therapeutic relationship can grow. I am interested in knowing who you are, how you think, what your desires are, your relationships, what you identify as barriers to being all that you can be--all in order to understand who you are and how you function in the world. I want to work intimately with you to help you find health, wholeness, well-being, creativity, and freedom.

My work focuses on social and cultural forces that affect development. Life’s challenges, navigating career dynamics, school, and interpersonal and family relationships impact our feelings of self-worth. Together, we will embark on a journey to uncover and understand self-limiting behaviors that result in sub-optimal interactions.

I applaud you for your courage in exploring therapy. I specialize in anxiety, depression, addiction, recovery, grief, loss, career counseling, LGBTQ+ issues, stress, relationships, self-esteem, and trauma. I employ a Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral approach, emphasizing the reality that what we tell ourselves affects both how we feel and our actions. I also integrate the Psychodynamic perspective, exploring how our early experiences affect the now, and a Solution-Focused modality to help clients problem solve. I sprinkle in Narrative, REBT, & DBT strategies as well, creating a safe, non-judgmental & trusting environment.

Whether you're navigating changes in relationships, parenting, school, career, or discovering your true identity, it's okay to seek more for yourself.
“This shouldn’t be happening.” “I can’t deal with this.” "This is not how I pictured it." Sound familiar? It's perfectly natural to feel lost or uncertain at times, especially when facing transitions or challenges in life. Remember, you are deserving of a life filled with love, connection, courage, creativity, and clear direction. You are not alone in these feelings, and it's important to acknowledge your worth and potential.

My ideal client is ready to challenge themselves to do the work and is tired of feeling stuck or on autopilot. You may have long struggled with focus, sticking to a plan, anxiety, or follow-through. You may find you're still living your life according to your upbringing, rather than in the present. As a result, you may feel overwhelmed, depressed, like you've wasted time, or have no control. I enjoy helping people through life transitions. I also have expertise working with people in startups and technology fields, decision making, and adult ADHD. If you are ready to make some changes, but need a partner, consider reaching out.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
