About My Clients
I work with thoughtful, high-functioning individuals and couples who may appear successful outwardly but privately struggle with anxiety, health worries, depression, or relationship challenges. I also support clients navigating social anxiety, stress, and LGBTQ-related concerns. My approach helps you understand recurring patterns, reduce chronic worry, improve communication, and build confidence in work, relationships, and daily life.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of private practice in New York City and also hold a Juris Doctor from New York University School of Law. My work integrates psychodynamic therapy with practical approaches like CBT, stress-reduction tools, and Internal Family Systems exercises. This combination helps clients understand patterns underlying anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges while building strategies for lasting change. I am especially attuned to high-functioning individuals who appear successful outwardly but privately manage stress, self-doubt, or chronic worry. I create a thoughtful, collaborative space where clients feel heard, gain clarity, and develop confidence in navigating daily life, relationships, and work. Sessions are offered in person in NYC or via secure video and phone.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am deeply committed to creating an inclusive, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for all clients, including LGBTQ individuals and those navigating identity or relationship challenges. I value empathy, curiosity, and collaboration in therapy, and I strive to help clients feel seen, heard, and understood. I am passionate about mental health education, reducing stigma around anxiety and depression, and empowering clients to develop resilience and confidence. I also support causes that promote social justice, equity, and community well-being, believing that these values inform how I show up as a therapist.
