Drawing from my years working as a clinician at a premier treatment facility, I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapies and relational therapy into sessions to effectively identify and hurdle the roadblocks that interrupt us from accessing our true, authentic selves.
It takes tremendous courage to choose to engage in therapy, no matter the reason, as asking for help and taking the risk of being vulnerable can be intimidating. My goal is for both of us to embark on a journey of exploration to address the areas of your life that you want to look into.

I have advanced clinical training in contemporary psychoanalysis, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Relational Life Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Whether your problems are specific - a relationship, work, troubling thoughts or experiences, or more abstract - feeling stuck, empty, lonely or misunderstood, quality therapy can offer invaluable support. I work collaboratively, compassionately and interactively with individuals and couples to improve their lives. Following your lead and pace, we explore your past and present, patterns in your life, your perceptions, behaviors and choices, and consider how our relationship may mirror your dynamics in the outside world. Though it can seem impossible initially, gradually you gain the insight and emotional capacity necessary for invaluable lasting change that feels authentic and comes from within.

I am a relational, attachment-based, trauma-informed therapist.
When so much feels uncertain, I am here to help you find your way from fatigue and overwhelm to peace and acceptance. The dedicated time and space of our sessions and a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship will support you in creating the fulfilling relationships and experiences you are longing for. I bring my background as a mindful-living coach to my work as a therapist, and I love to support clients who are seeking to cultivate more compassion for themselves and within their relationships. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, no matter what is currently taking center stage in their lives.

My style is warm, active, and relational.
I help individuals face life's demands in a direct, embodied, and gentle way. As we inquire within, embracing both, obstacles and gifts, a more authentic and resourceful presence can emerge that allows for genuine shifts to take place. I work with individuals from all walks of life who are interested in restoring a healthy sense of self and who want to move forward in life. My professional practice is rooted in psychodynamic, humanistic, mindful and somatic approaches. I have extensive experience in working with trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, and general life stressors.

My approach to psychotherapy is insight oriented from a relational psychodynamic perspective with behavioral tools as needed.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a private practice in Manhattan. I meet with adult and adolescent patients for treatment of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. I am also qualified to work with individuals presenting with addictions and high risk behavior. It is my belief that psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between therapist and patient and that a good match promotes effective treatment.

Whether you are navigating relationship or sexual difficulties, anxiety, trauma, or depression, the experience of being in pain can be an isolating and lonely space. My approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, acceptance, and self-exploration to facilitate your pursuit of a life of fulfillment and meaning. I strive to work collaboratively as a team in your journey and see the therapeutic relationship as the most powerful tool to create safety in this process. I am fluent in both English and French.

As a marriage and family therapist, I believe that relational work can be an incredible way to embark on a healing journey.
Anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma are some of the most challenging issues to live with. In my work with couples, families, and individuals I've had the opportunity to help guide my clients through these struggles and begin experiencing more fulfilling lives. I also have experience working with individual clients on body-image related issues and deconstructing the standard idea of beauty. If these issues are relatable to you, please know you are not alone. It is extremely courageous to take this first step to seek help and guidance.

I graduated from the Clinical Social Work Program at NYU, and have postgraduate training in psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis.
Psychotherapy lets people be their most 'authentic' selves and live at their highest potential; it also helps them understand barriers to optimal living. Expecting that you have all the answers is not realistic, and entering therapy is a helpful step to deepening understanding, resolving problematic relational patterns and simply making changes. Also,Therapy need not be a 'lifelong process'.
I have a proven track record working with people achieving results. My treatment approach combines a Relational psychodynamic frame with goal-focused techniques. I tend to work very interactively with clients relationally, while also allowing abundant space for clients their own insights and self-reflection.

The difficult thoughts and feelings that we hold deep within ourselves can negatively impact our mood, success, health, and overall happiness. In therapy, it takes bravery to unearth, examine, and learn from our life experiences in the therapeutic process. I help clients with many types of difficulties including anxiety, depression, work stress, culture and identity issues, adult ADHD, trauma, and social/ relational problems with partners, friends, and family. Further, I have experience working with young and older adults, college students, high-level professionals, and executives.

I am a relational psychodynamic psychotherapist, and believe that the key to understanding why we behave or think the way we do is rooted in our past relationships and experiences.
I believe that people come to therapy because they want to change their life for the better. I work with individuals to lighten sadness, grief or anxiety, or to gain a greater understanding of one's self. I believe that the root causes of difficulty are developmental or situational, circumstantial, or a trauma. I strive to provide a non-judgmental, nurturing, safe space to explore insights, strengths and challenges. I specialize with multi-cultural and multi-racial adults, expatriates, those in multi-racial relationships, and those struggling with anxiety, depression, personality disorders and addiction.

I am committed to facilitating a space in which you feel understood, valued, and supported as we prioritize your goals, explore your story, and incorporate strategies for reintegrating pieces of your Self so you also can experience increased personal acceptance and relational connection.
I am a trauma-informed provider supporting individuals and couples navigating grief/loss, conflict, trauma and transition. I am passionate about supporting folks identifying as neurodiverse or neurocomplex (eg. eg. autistic, AuDH, diagnosed with ADHD, etc ). Clients I support often struggle with the impact of stories about who they "should be", questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of themselves to create a sense of belonging. Understanding our stories is one of the bravest things we can do. Together we can explore yours, identify your values and strengths, and pursue healing and growth.

Do you find yourself getting stuck in the same relationship patterns over and over again? Do you find yourself doing everything in your power to discontinue previous relational patterns and behaviors? Are you struggling with self-doubt, low-self-esteem, and painful self-criticism that seems to be holding you back? My approach to therapy looks at these patterns and behaviors through the lens of parts work. This allows us to separate the self (you), from the parts that struggle with self-doubt, and from the parts that persist in repeating unhealthy relationships and behavioral patterns.
