A little about you.

A little about the work.

You may be doing well on the outside while feeling stuck in relationships, work, or your sense of self. I work with thoughtful, ambitious adults – especially people in demanding careers and artists/creative professionals – navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, identity questions, and major life transitions.

I’m a New York–licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). My approach is psychodynamic and relational: together, we explore recurring emotional and interpersonal patterns, how they took shape, and how they influence your life now. The work is exploratory, with room for meaningful changes in daily life. I aim to be warm, direct, curious, and real in the room.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in music, media, and writing. That background continues to inform my interest in creativity, ambition, work, identity, and the relationship between what we do and who we believe ourselves to be.

 FAQs

  • I find that once-per-week at the same time slot works best for most people starting therapy. There is consistency and ritual with this frequency, which helps build a therapeutic relationship and gets to the heart of your matters more quickly and persistently.

    After establishing a rapport and finding some relief, many patients choose to increase frequency to 2x per week for deeper psychoanalytically-oriented work, while some choose to schedule biweekly.

    I do not see patients on an ‘ad-hoc’ basis.

  • My standard fee for new individual clients is $250 for a 45-minute session. Couples therapy is $300 per hour.

    I am currently accepting new clients on a private-pay, out-of-network basis and can provide documentation for reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your insurance plan.

    A limited number of reduced-fee spots may be available. Please reach out to discuss your needs.

  • No, I do not. Medication management is done by psychiatrists, a primary-care physician, or psychiatric nurse practitioners.

    In addition to routine talk therapy, I can help refer you to clinicians that can help prescribe and manage medication to help alleviate your psychological symptoms.

  • I see clients in person at my office in Union Square, Manhattan, and offer secure telehealth by video or phone throughout New York State. We can discuss which format works best for you.

  • A good fit in the therapeutic relationship is the most reliable indicator of successful treatment. I offer a free consultation to hear about what’s bringing you to therapy now and assess if we might be a good fit. If we choose not to move forward, I will provide you with referrals that can help meet your current mental health needs.
