I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst practicing in NYC. I work with adolescents and adults in individual therapy both virtually and in-person. I received a masters in counseling from Rutgers University and my MSW from New York University and further trained as a psychoanalyst at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. Prior to starting my private practice I worked as a social worker and counselor in both school and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings.
I view therapy as a collaboration, one in which we work together to enhance your quality of life, one in which we explore your goals, dreams, and passions in a safe and trusting space. Do you want to find your most authentic self and feel more present in your life? Are you feeling stuck in your job, relationships, or past? Whether you are looking to make life changes, overcome current stresses, or need to find healing for deeper vulnerabilities, I will seek to engage you and work with you with a warm and respectful approach, always mindful of where you are in the process.
My approach is primarily psychodynamic and relational and my style is personable and non-judgmental. I believe strongly in the power of a dynamic therapeutic relationship to facilitate growth and change. With more than 20 years of experience as a clinician I have expertise in working with clients on issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationships stresses, family of origin issues, trauma, and LGBTQ struggles including gender identity. I particularly enjoy working with college-aged and young adults as they navigate the stresses of entering adulthood.
