Areas of Expertise
I see therapy as an act of mutually engaged exploration that can help you make transformative change on your terms.
I help clients better understand and disengage from compulsive, ingrained thought and behavior patterns, improve and deepen their relationships, and increase their sense of trust in themselves, their self expression, and their intuition.
You may be seeking support as you navigate through challenging life transitions, manage interpersonal relationship issues, cope with trauma, or experience feelings of overwhelm, sadness, or confusion that disrupt your daily life.
I’ll work collaboratively with you in both individual and/or group therapy to explore your (unfiltered) thoughts and feelings and get to the root of long-standing problems, helping you feel more emotionally resilient and developing deeper insight. Typical areas of exploration in my practice include:
depression or other mood disorders
anxiety, worry, and panic attacks
building self-esteem and confidence
career transitions and concerns
dating and intimacy issues
feeling overburdened in your relationships
addressing complicated family dynamics
supporting identity exploration, development, and expression
LGBTQIA+ issues
assisting with stress, crisis, trauma, and life transitions
the creative process and overcoming creative blocks
navigating separation and individuation from your family of origin & establishing your personal value framework
difficulty expressing emotions, such as anger
combating persistent feelings of alienation, isolation, or loneliness
body image and eating issues
personal and professional growth
loss and berevearement
Services
Individual Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis
I provide individual treatment to adults and adolescents in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts who might be experiencing challenges related to anxiety and depression, self esteem issues, identity confusion, high achievement & loss of meaning, depression, trauma, stress, gender identity, unresolved memories from the past, complex relationships, and compulsive behavior. Sessions are 45 minutes and occur once a week unless we agree to meet more frequently. There is the option to schedule sessions either in-person (NYC only) or over secure video or phone.
Group Psychotherapy
Interpersonal process groups can be a great complement to the work that is done together in individual therapy. Group presents a unique opportunity for members to see their impact on likeminded peers in real time, experiment with new ways of interacting and expressing themselves, and examine behaviors that might be preventing the growth of connection and intimacy in their life, both in and out of the room. Group is a good fit for those feeling dissatisfied in their interpersonal relationships and who are open to new forms of connection, those seeking to better understand themselves and gain self knowledge, and those willing to work through relational stumbling blocks and blindspots with others in a compassionate space designed to promote personal growth. Group sessions are 90 minutes and occur once per week. I am currently recruiting members for a once a week Wednesday evening process group. Please reach out for more information.
Clinical Supervision & Case Consultation
I enjoy supporting early-career licensed mental health professionals in navigating formulating their professional identity and managing the challenges that can arise in working in an agency setting or clinic, group practice, or private practice setting. I am available for ongoing individual clinical supervision or professional consultation and case conceptualization.
