NYC psychologist of 15+ years. Expert in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, sports performance, relationship issues, grief and loss, identity and shame

I specialize in helping people through loss and conflict, self-esteem, trauma, and anxiety and depression. You may be stuck, feel out of control, or simply want more -- out of life, as an athlete, as a partner. Psychotherapy can be helpful in redefining how you relate to others and yourself, and in identifying your needs and nurturing these areas. I can introduce research-supported strategies for coping with difficult emotions, stress, or physical pain when a practical solution is appropriate. My style is earnest, flexible, and collaborative. Whether it's teaching you a practical coping strategy, helping you to connect to your feelings and thoughts, or making sense of something that seems confusing, my aim is to work alongside you, curiously exploring and offering new perspectives to your concerns. I trained as a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University and worked at academic settings and major hospitals in NYC. I have helped many highly driven professionals from various industries (sports, tech, media, medicine, finance) to build healthier relationships, resolve family/multicultural issues, and manage performance and social anxiety, OCD, and depression.
