About My Clients

Work is stressful, the house is a mess, and the crushing weight of your responsibilities is threatening to bury you once and for all. You can't remember the last time you felt like yourself. You snap at your partner, your kids, your parents, your siblings, your in-laws, your co-worker and the shame spiral begins. You wonder when it's going to get better or if this is what life will always be like. It's a lot for one woman to face and you don't have to face it alone. I'm here to help.

My Background and Approach

No two clients are the same and their treatment shouldn’t be either. We will work as a team to identify which therapeutic model works for you. My approach to therapy is integrative in that I pull from different therapeutic theories to maximize effectiveness. My approach is anchored in psychodynamic and attachment therapy in that I believe much of a client's current distress has roots in childhood. Those childhood experiences accumulate into negative core beliefs that the client carries into adulthood where they become maladaptive. I use EMDR to dismantle those negative core beliefs which makes other treatment modalities like CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, IFS, and schema therapy far more effective. The goal is not to keep you in therapy forever. The goal is to get you to the version of life you feel good about.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

After nearly 20 years in the corporate world working for several global companies, I took a chance and went back to school to become a therapist. I dedicate the rest of my working life to supporting other high-achieving professional women as they navigate life, work, motherhood and everything in between. I originally from New York meaning that I am direct and to the point. I am Jewish and believe that being Jewish is as much a culture as it is a religion. I am a child of immigrants who understands the complexity of defining one's own identity while searching for a feeling of belonging. I am also a survivor of postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety and know first hand how dark, scary and lonely it can be in early motherhood. Come as you are. You're welcome here.
