Therapy for Professional Women in
New York City & New York State
Experienced, psychodynamic therapy for
high-achieveing professional women, with a specific focus on anxiety and relationship challenges.
I work with professional women when career or life feels overwhelming, complex, stuck, or too much. Women who work with me typically experience anxiety, burnout, depression, relationship challenges, and family rupture.
Women need sophisticated care that recognizes how identity, biology, psychology, and real-world demands impact one another.
What Brings Women to This Work
Women who work with me are capable at work, with family, and in their relationships. They've built real success, in part, by pushing through instead of stopping.
Often, women come to look at what's underneath the competence, not just white knuckle their way through the week.
That shift, from managing to understanding, requires something different than they've had before. I notice patterns, ask direct questions, and stay with what's actually there, rather than what's easiest to say out loud.
What We Work On
Often, women take on more work when they'd rather say no. But setting a boundary doesn't always work, especially when there are deadlines and petitions to file, or a bedtime tantrum to manage.
Trying to "get through it" may be necessary, but in the long run, it's more helpful to understand how these pressures interfere with a woman's psychology, how they impact her biology, and how they run in the background, creating anxiety and habitual overwhelm. When there is understanding, there can be a clear plan.
What I help women with isn't just how to make the anxiety less overwhelming. I ask something different: what might this anxiety be protecting her from?
