Frequently Asked Questions

You don't have to be in crisis to start therapy. A lot of people come in because something just feels off. Maybe the same patterns keep showing up, or they're feeling overwhelmed, or a little disconnected from themselves or the people around them. Therapy is a place to slow down and actually figure out what's going on beneath the surface. If you’re here, you’re likely considering therapy. A free consultation will help you decide if therapy is right for you, and if we’re the right fit.

Mostly, we talk. I want to understand what's bringing you in and what you're hoping to get out of it. There’s no expectation to have everything clearly defined in that first session. We'll go at whatever pace feels right, and I'll be focused on making sure the space feels comfortable and safe from the start.

Yes, both. Couples come in for all kinds of reasons — communication that keeps breaking down, ongoing conflict, distance, big life transitions, or just trying to figure out where things stand. My psychoanalytic training shapes how i work with couples, so there is always a relational thread running through the work.

I see clients in person in New York City, and I offer virtual sessions for anyone in New York State. Both work really well — it comes down to what fits your life.

Clients come to therapy for a wide range of reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, work-related stress, family dynamics, and periods of transition or re-evaluation. Many clients are seeking a deeper understanding, not just symptom relief.

Yes. I work with clinicians who want to deepen their understanding of psychodynamic and relational approaches. My approach emphasizes curiosity, self-reflection, and the integration of theory with lived clinical experience. Supervision is collaborative and reflective, with attention to both clinical material and the clinician’s internal process.

Clinicians at all stages, really. That might mean someone early in their career, someone in training, or a more experienced therapist who wants to sharpen their thinking, sit with more complex cases, or just reconnect with the parts of the work they find most meaningful.

It varies. Some people come for shorter, more focused work; others engage in something longer and more open-ended. We'll check in on your goals along the way to make sure the work still feels worthwhile and on track.

My work is rooted in psychodynamic, relational, and attachment-informed thinking. The relationship is really at the heart of what I do — that's where insight and change tend to happen. I'm also genuinely interested in people's strengths, not just what's getting in the way.

I'm an out-of-network provider. I can give you documentation to submit for potential reimbursement through your insurance plan. Many of my clients prefer private pay for the added privacy and flexibility it offers.
