I am a psychotherapist who helps adults understand the parts of themselves they were taught to hide away.
Much of my work involves recognizing the themes that repeat through a person’s life and the ways one holds on to what feels familiar, even when they sense it needs to come to an end. Through the years, I have learned that fully letting go only occurs when there is enough clarity and safety to choose differently.
My role is to guide and support you in seeing the purpose and protection of your anxiety.
New Yorkers often live divided lives, traversing the world as if everything is handled while privately struggling with thoughts, emotions, and worries just below the surface.
Therapy is the space where all parts of you can finally be seen and accepted.
I believe that no one should have to walk through the darker, more complicated parts of their experience, including the shadows and the truths they question, alone. Who you are and what you want becomes safe to surface when there is acknowledgment rather than pressure to perform, do, or be someone you are not.
This is where real change begins.
What It’s Like Working Togther
People who work with me have been living with things they’ve never said out loud. They want someone who doesn’t shy away from their experiences or decisions. You want a therapist who gives you the time to set the pace, while also offering active feedback within a structured, thoughtful process.
While evidence-based methods and Eastern mindfulness tools inform my work, healing and growth happen when the quality of presence allows you to feel, “I don’t have to divide myself here.”
I listen closely and remember the details — the important names, events, and moments that shape your story. Collaboration and consent guide every step of our work together.
CONSULTATION
A 15-minute phone meeting to explore working together.
WEEKLY THERAPY
One-on-one meetings to help you move toward deeper clarity of your goals.
SINGLE SESSION
A single focused session to address an identified outcome or skill enhancement.
Starting Therapy
Starting therapy can feel daunting, but so can trying to manage everything alone without a clear way forward. When you are too close to the problem, or when the people around you are, it becomes nearly impossible to see new options.
Therapy offers the clarity and direction that are hard to find on your own.
People usually begin therapy because something in their life is no longer working, and it often shows up as a deep sense of disconnection or anxiety. Yet choosing to start is also an unmistakable act of defiance, a message to the part of you that refuses to be defeated.
My Perspective
I have over two decades of experience in adult psychotherapy, specializing in anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and the internal conflicts that emerge in complicated lives. My work draws from Western evidence-based methods and an Eastern mindfulness lens, shaped in part by my years as a contributing writer for Dr. Deepak Chopra’s global educational organization and by my formal training at New York University. I believe no one should have to navigate the harder parts of their life alone, and I provide a clear process to help you move toward your goals.
