Psychotherapist
NY
Are you navigating career stress, relationship challenges, identity development, or another major life transition? Are you in your twenties or thirties, building a career, deepening partnerships, questioning long-held beliefs, or stepping into roles that feel heavier or more complex than expected? Therapy with me offers space to slow down, understand patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, and move forward with greater clarity and intention. My approach is collaborative, conversational, and grounded in curiosity. I draw from narrative and humanistic frameworks to explore how your experiences have shaped the way you think, relate, and respond. Together, we identify recurring themes, examine beliefs that may no longer serve you, and clarify what alignment looks like in this stage of your life. When helpful, I integrate structured Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies to support anxiety reduction, emotional regulation, perfectionism, executive functioning challenges, and everyday stress. I balance insight-oriented exploration with practical tools so that therapy feels both meaningful and actionable. Clients often seek support for: Anxiety and overthinking Career uncertainty or burnout Relationship patterns and communication challenges Identity exploration and value clarification Life transitions that feel destabilizing or overwhelming In addition to my broader work with young adults, I have specialized experience supporting individuals navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and early parenthood. This work often includes addressing identity shifts, relational strain, anxiety, and the emotional complexity that can arise during the transition to parenthood. If you’re feeling stuck or alone and wondering if therapy could help, I invite you to reach out.

What should a new client know about working with you?

New clients should know that I value honesty, collaboration, and showing up as you are. You do not need the right words, a clear goal, or a polished version of yourself to begin therapy. There is no expectation to “perform,” present a certain way, or have everything figured out in order to be taken seriously. My approach is thoughtful and relational. We will spend time understanding what’s underneath your reactions, emotions, and patterns, particularly during periods of stress or transition, while also building practical tools you can use in your daily life. I aim to work at a pace that feels supportive and realistic, balancing reflection with meaningful change. I also believe growth sometimes requires gentle but honest feedback. When appropriate, I will offer thoughtful challenge or “tough love” in a way that is respectful, grounded, and rooted in care. My intention is never to judge or push, but to help you notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck and support you in making changes that align with your values. Therapy with me is a space where humor is welcome, difficult feelings are not rushed or minimized, and your experiences are met with care and respect. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling more grounded, less self-critical, and better equipped to navigate your relationships, life transitions, and inner world.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our work usually begins with getting to know you, your story, and what is bringing you to therapy. Early sessions focus on understanding your experiences, patterns, relationships, and current stressors while also making sure the space feels safe, collaborative, and paced in a way that works for you. Ongoing sessions are primarily conversation-based and reflective. We may explore emotions, reactions, and recurring themes that appear in your life, particularly during periods of stress or transition. This often includes unpacking recent experiences, noticing patterns in thoughts or relationships, and connecting present-day challenges to earlier experiences when it feels relevant and helpful. Alongside this insight-oriented work, I use an eclectic approach that may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic exercises, and other practical strategies to support emotional regulation, communication, and coping with everyday stress. Somatic work can involve grounding techniques, body awareness, and nervous system regulation practices that help you reconnect with your physical experience and respond to stress more effectively. Sessions are flexible rather than rigidly structured. Some weeks focus more on reflection and understanding, while others center on problem solving, skill building, or navigating something immediate happening in your life or relationships. Throughout the process, I offer both support and honest feedback when helpful, always grounded in care and collaboration. My goal is for sessions to feel thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely useful, helping you leave with greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and tools you can apply outside the therapy room.
