If you're reading this maybe it's your first time looking for a therapist, or you're looking for something more out of your treatment. Either way, one thing is certain: you want to feel differently than you do right now. Maybe you're caught in dreadful thought spirals full of noisy, intrusive dialogue. Maybe you're finding yourself caught in the same patterns over and over again without any real knowledge that they're happening until long after. Whatever it is that you're struggling with, there's room for it in my office.

I pride myself on engaging my patients in thoughtful, deep work to help them better understand themselves. While much of the modern landscape focuses on quick-fix protocols and symptom reduction (especially for anxiety management), I believe that true transformation requires us to look underneath the surface. My work is grounded in the belief that your anxieties, patterns, and obsessions deserve curiosity and meaning making so that the things in your head no longer need to feel so scary.

My clinical background includes extensive experience in evidence-based modalities designed to target the mechanics of OCD and anxiety. However, I found that focusing solely on the "mechanics" often left the person behind. Today, my practice is a synthesis of that rigorous understanding and the depth of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. What that means is that we don't just work to stop the obsession; we work to understand why the mind needed it in the first place. This transition allows for a more expansive kind of healing; one that isn't just about feeling "less anxious," but about feeling more alive, more integrated, and more fully yourself.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, currently in my second year of psychoanalytic training at the American Institute for Psychoanalysis (AIP).
