I provide therapy to individuals and couples in New York. My main area of focus is chronic illness; I work with individuals who are adjusting to a new diagnosis as well as those managing the longterm mental health impacts of a chronic condition. I have particular experience working with adults with Multiple Sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases. Other clinical specialties include trauma, grief and loss, depression, and emerging adulthood.
I believe that wellbeing is more than symptom reduction alone, but an ongoing process centered on deepening fulfillment and meaning. I practice from a psychodynamic foundation. This is a depth-oriented approach that looks at how past experiences and underlying behavioral and interpersonal patterns impact present challenges. I also integrate other modalities as appropriate including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma recovery and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Above all, I see a strong patient-therapist relationship as central to good therapy. Whatever brings you to our work, I aim to create an environment that is approachable, warm, and nonjudgmental to help you find resilience and connection.
