Therapists in New York

I am a psychotherapist based in New York City with a background that helps me understand the weight of high expectations. As a first-generation professional, I know what it is like to balance career goals with deep-rooted family and cultural values. My work is built on being a real person in the room with you, offering a direct but supportive space where you do not have to "hold it all together." Together, we will focus on what matters most to you so you can move toward the life you want to lead.

I believe that therapy is most successful when the therapist-client rapport is strong and grounded in empathy, respect, and understanding.

I also address mood challenges, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I offer high-quality, evidence-based therapy that is tailored to you: a combination of insights, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of your attachment style will be incorporated into your therapy. Because one size does not fit all, your therapy will include consistent check-ins to understand what is working well, which modalities you prefer, and which goals are most important to you.

For over twenty years, I have helped adults overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

Therapy can help you gain deeper insight into yourself, develop more effective ways of coping, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach is grounded in a psychodynamic understanding of how early experiences shape our emotional lives and relationships. I also have advanced training in evidence-based treatments, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and attachment-based approaches. I integrate these methods to help clients process trauma, reduce emotional suffering, and create meaningful, lasting change. In addition to working with individuals, I also provide couples therapy and support for parents navigating family challenges. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your goals and how therapy may help you move toward a more satisfying and connected life.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years building businesses, developing products, leading teams, and working with high-achieving professionals in demanding environments. Today, I bring that perspective into my clinical work, helping clients who may look highly successful on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. I understand the pressures that can accompany achievement, including perfectionism, burnout, career transitions, relationship challenges, and the feeling that your external persona no longer matches how you truly feel. My goal is to help clients understand what is keeping them stuck, reconnect with what matters to them, and develop practical strategies to move forward. I work with clients navigating career challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Whether you are struggling to make a career decision, recovering from a difficult experience, questioning an identity built around achievement, or simply know that something needs to change but aren't sure how to move forward, therapy can provide a space to step back, gain perspective, and create a path forward that feels both meaningful and sustainable.

I provide a collaborative, thoughtful therapy experience grounded in clinical expertise and evidence-informed care.

I work with adults who are ready to move beyond simply managing symptoms and are willing to explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives.

My approach is primarily psychodynamic, integrating psychoeducation to help make complex emotional experiences more understandable and practical.

As insight grows, clients often find themselves responding to life's challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. Clients often describe my style as thoughtful, direct, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where curiosity replaces self-criticism, where difficult experiences can be understood without judgment, and where lasting change develops through deeper self-awareness rather than temporary solutions.

From the outside, it may look like you have it all. You've built a successful career, business, or family, yet something still feels off. You may feel disconnected, misunderstood, stressed, or simply not as fulfilled as you expected to be. You might even find yourself wondering, "Why doesn't this feel the way I thought it would?" If that resonates with you, you're not alone. Since 2007, I've helped individuals and couples better understand themselves by uncovering the relationship blind spots that quietly shape every area of their lives—from the relationship they have with themselves to the relationships they have with the people they love. Many of my clients don't come to therapy because they're falling apart. They come because they know they're capable of experiencing more in life. More love. More connection. More peace. More fulfillment. They simply don't know what's getting in the way. Together, we'll identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck so you can begin creating the life and relationships you've been wanting all along. My practice is intentionally small and built around a concierge model of care that differs from traditional in-network therapy. I work best with clients who are ready to invest in themselves through a committed, integrative process rather than casual weekly check-ins.

In my private practice, I assist adults with depression, anxiety, health problems, relationship issues, grief/loss, work stress, breakup, infertility, and parenting.

As a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor, I bring 18 years of experience helping individuals overcome challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change. I specialize in treating substance use disorders, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and other life stressors, providing a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. I believe that no two people are alike, which is why I tailor treatment to each individual’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT, mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing EMDR. Together, we’ll work to better understand the patterns that may be holding you back, develop effective coping strategies, and build the confidence to move forward. Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Whether you’re working through anxiety, healing from trauma, navigating relationship difficulties, or pursuing recovery, I am committed to helping you discover your strengths, achieve lasting growth, and live a more fulfilling, authentic life.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with many years of experience providing therapy to individuals, adolescents, groups, and occasionally couples in various settings. My experience has led me to connect with many individuals at different phases in their lives who wanted to change something but didn't know how. I have worked with various populations from so many backgrounds, and all that stuck out to me was the disfranchised. A person losing their sense of autonomy and self always left me with that question, "Can I do more?" In my journey as a provider, I want to uplift my clients and remind them they have always had a voice and power that is waiting.
