About My Clients
Good candidates for treatment in my practice include women and individuals who identify as women who wish to seek help with depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, body image issues, or any issue that they find is tripping them up in the arenas of love or work. I also specialize in the areas of fertility, pregnancy related issues, postpartum anxiety and depression, and issues related to perimenopause and menopause. Please note that my practice is LGBTQ+ friendly.
My Background and Approach
In order to take emotional risks and to learn about oneself in the process, one first needs to feel safe. My first principle is to help clients feel safe and comfortable as we embark on the therapy process together. I view the relationship between therapist and client as paramount. Trust, caring, and collaboration are necessary therapeutic ingredients that need to be present in order to lay the groundwork for lasting change. I practice primarily from a psychodynamic perspective but I also have extensive training in both cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) therapies and will integrate these approaches into our work when appropriate. I do not provide one-size fits all treatment; my services are always tailored to meet your unique needs.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My passion for promoting women’s mental health was born during my undergraduate years at Barnard College. As an undergraduate, I attended “Take Back the Night” marches and volunteered for Barnard’s crisis hotline. Through these experiences I saw firsthand the powerful transformation that could occur when previously silenced women felt safe enough to share their stories and have their private pain borne witness to, some for the very first time. These were early formative experiences that convinced me to find ways to help women feel supported, listened to without judgment, and taken seriously. Since then, I have devoted my career to providing treatment tailored to women’s unique mental health needs. This focus has been enriching for me, and I always gain a new appreciation for the unique experiences of every woman I meet through my practice.
