About Me

An interactive relationship is indeed the cornerstone of effective psychotherapy. I invite you into a creative collaboration, working together to understand your unique experiences. We will explore patterns and find relief from difficult feelings or challenging situations. This deeply engaged, thoughtful approach is ideal for those ready to uncover deeper insights. You will find a supportive, dynamic space to make sense of your world.

Approach

That relational energy guides how we move through the work: sessions feel steady and attentive, paced to your needs, with room for reflection, narrated history, and moments that focus on felt experience. I offer in-person appointments in New York and remote sessions, so therapy fits your life rhythms and practical constraints. Typically we track patterns, try interventions that loosen stuckness, and bring awareness to how past losses or attachments show up now — often with short reflections between meetings to keep momentum. This way suits people ready for thoughtful, engaged change.
