Effective, empathetic therapy in New York
The support you need to feel like yourself again
We all struggle at some point. And it can be hard to manage on your own.
You may need support and guidance to help you cope with emotional distress, see your situation more clearly, consider all possibilities, form deeper relationships, or simply feel more fulfilled in your life.
I’m an experienced, approachable therapist from New York City. I offer individual therapy for adults who reside in New York and New Jersey. I graduated with distinction from New York University with a master's degree in Social Work and completed postgraduate training at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at the Family and Group Institute under the guidance of Dr. Evan Imber-Black, a core faculty member at the Ackerman Institute, New York. I have extensive experience in mental health care, including Bellevue Hospital’s psychiatric emergency room, inpatient services, and homeless shelter. I’ve been in private practice for over twenty years.
Most people seek my help for a variety of reasons:
Whatever you’re going through, there’s hope. I offer a non-judgmental, confidential space so that your story can be heard and understood. It's possible to move towards emotional relief and peace of mind when you are seen.
