Providing Effective Psychotherapy
Our sessions will help you develop insight that creates lasting change, not just temporary relief.
I'm a licensed psychotherapist (LMHC-D, LPC) and AASECT-certified Sex Therapist with offices on the Upper West Side and in Union Square in New York City. I see clients in person and virtually throughout New York and Connecticut. I've spent years working with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life dissatisfaction, life transitions, interpersonal conflict, low self-esteem, relationship issues, infidelity, divorce, intimacy and sexuality, identity issues, mood management, and LGBTQ+ issues. My approach is holistic, integrating modern psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, and relational theories and interventions tailored to the unique needs of each individual, couple, or group. I emphasize the development of self-awareness and emotional insight while providing practical tools to navigate life’s challenges, find relief, and cultivate greater life satisfaction and fulfillment.

Individual
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is proven to help you find relief from symptoms that get in the way of the life you want. Developing insight and self-awareness is a powerful tool in helping you to feel more in control of yourself, to better engage, understand, and connect with those around you, and to build the resilience and capability to better handle life's challenges. I have helped individuals find relief from issues of anxiety, depression, life dissatisfaction, stress management, interpersonal conflict, trauma, bereavement, work stress, loneliness, shyness, body image, low self-esteem, social awkwardness, sexuality exploration, OCD, ADHD, parenting frustrations, anger, life transitions, and more.

Couples
Therapy
Relationships can be our greatest sources of joy and our deepest challenges. Too many couples find themselves caught in cycles of ineffective conflict, slowly eroding the connection they once had. I help partners break those patterns and discover the power of respect, collaboration, and working toward something together. Whether you're struggling with conflict, feelings of resentment, disgust, mistmatched desires, or feeling unheard, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your relationship dynamics. A loving relationship requires effort, hard work, and care. Together, you and your partner will identify behaviors you'd like to change, discover new ways of interacting, avoid criticism, and work toward common goals that support your shared growth.

Intimacy and Sexuality
Therapy
I am an AASECT-certified Sex Therapist.
Research suggests that 15-20% of marriages and relationships are sexless. I help couples deepen intimacy, enhance pleasure, learn to communicate intimacy preferences and needs, address desire discrepancies, and work through affairs and infidelity. I also support and work with couples exploring new relationship dynamics and non-monogomy.
I works with individuals to overcome feelings of shame, explore and discover desires, and increase comfort with sexuality and sexual preferences.

Family
Therapy
Reconnect with your children, find balance and clarity within your family, and develop, strengthen, and heal family bonds. Together, we’ll identify patterns, address unspoken issues, and build healthier ways of connecting. My goal is to help you create a family environment where everyone feels heard, valued, and supported, strengthening your relationships for lasting contentment. All types of families are welcome.
Fees:
My fee is $295 per session. I understand that financial situations vary and am happy to have a conversation about fees. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
Insurance:
I am an out-of-network provider and will provide a detailed superbill after each session, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. In some cases, I can also submit the claims on your behalf. Depending on your plan, many clients are reimbursed 60-80% of the session costs. I can call your insurance on your behalf if you are unsure of your out-of-network plan/coverage.
