Personal Statement

We live in a modern world that changes and evolves quickly. You deserve innovative, expert-driven therapy that understands those nuances and can help you build a more fulfilling life. Whether you're struggling with anxiety or trauma, or wanting to develop healthier patterns within your relationships or career: I can help you find a meaningful path forward so that you can meet your goals. I work with individuals and couples who are motivated to disrupt those old patterns that are holding them back, so that they can get "unstuck."

In addition to in-person sessions in my Midtown Manhattan office, I also offer HIPAA-secure online video teletherapy for people who live anywhere in New York State. Flexible scheduling, automated appointment reminders, and an efficient online client portal make it easier for you to fit the self-investment of therapy into your busy schedule.
