I work in an active, thoughtful, insight-oriented way that helps make sense of experiences that may feel emotionally tangled, repetitive, confusing, or difficult to fully understand alone.
Often, what initially feels like anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, or relationship conflict begins to make more coherent sense once we understand the emotional patterns, beliefs, defenses, and adaptations beneath the surface.
We begin with what is bringing you in now, while also looking at the emotional logic underneath it: why certain reactions happen, what they protect against, and why they continue showing up in your adult life.
Sessions are practical, direct, and applicable to your actual life. The goal is not only to understand yourself better, but to feel clearer, more self-trusting, and more aligned with yourself, so your relationships, decisions, communication, and emotional experiences feel less reactive and more reflective of who you are and the kind of life you want.

Psychotherapy That Goes Beneath the Surface and Moves Things Forward
I Work in a Thoughtful, Precise, and Relational Way
I am thinking with you throughout the session. My role is to stay closely engaged with you in the conversation. I listen carefully, think with you in real time, ask thoughtful questions, and help organize experiences that may feel confusing, emotionally loaded, repetitive, or difficult to fully make sense of alone.
Part of what people often value about working with me is feeling that the conversation is going somewhere meaningful rather than staying on the surface or circling the same ideas repeatedly.
I tend to make connections quickly, ask questions that bring important things into focus, and help people understand themselves in ways that feel emotionally accurate, clarifying, and relevant to their lives.
The work is relational in the sense that it is a real conversation between two people thinking carefully together about what is happening and why.
Sometimes the work is about understanding a long-standing dynamic. Sometimes it is about preparing for a conversation, tolerating uncertainty differently, communicating more honestly, or responding in ways that feel more aligned with who you are instead of reacting from fear, guilt, pressure, or self-protection.
I help connect experiences, reactions, relationships, and emotional conflicts that may initially feel separate, but are often influencing each other underneath the surface.
Over time, many people find themselves communicating more clearly, tolerating difficult emotions more effectively, navigating relationships with more confidence, trusting themselves more consistently, and feeling less controlled by anxiety, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, guilt, or old protective ways of functioning.
This Work May Resonate If…
you are capable and responsible in many areas of life, but internally feel anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, self-critical, disconnected from yourself, or stuck
you overthink conversations, replay interactions afterward, or struggle to trust your own judgment despite being thoughtful and self-aware
you understand certain patterns intellectually, but still find yourself reacting emotionally in ways that feel repetitive or difficult to shift
relationships feel emotionally complicated, draining, confusing, or disproportionately impactful
you are used to functioning independently, but recognize that insight alone has not fully changed the way you feel, respond, or relate
you want therapy that is psychologically thoughtful, emotionally honest, relationally engaged, and actually useful outside the session
How The Work Evolves
Sometimes the work is focused on a current relationship, conflict, decision, loss, transition, or emotionally charged situation that feels difficult to navigate clearly.
Sometimes we are tracing longstanding emotional patterns back to the environments, relationships, and experiences where they first developed.
Often, both are happening at the same time.
We may spend one session preparing for a difficult conversation, identifying why a relationship dynamic keeps repeating, understanding the emotional meaning underneath a reaction, or recognizing how a childhood adaptation continues shaping present-day relationships and self-perception.
At other times, we may focus more behaviorally:
practicing new responses
building emotional tolerance
communicating more directly
setting boundaries more consistently
interrupting automatic reactions
responding differently in moments that would have previously felt consuming, impulsive, avoidant, or emotionally overwhelming
The goal is not only understanding.
The goal is change that becomes usable in your actual life.
Fees & Out-of-Network Reimbursement
I am an out-of-network provider and provide superbills for reimbursement.
Many clients use PPO out-of-network benefits to receive partial reimbursement for sessions.
If you plan to use out-of-network benefits, I recommend contacting your insurance company directly to ask about:
out-of-network mental health coverage
deductible requirements
reimbursement percentages
out-of-pocket maximums
Clinical Background
I completed my clinical training at NYU and pursued additional postgraduate training in psychodynamic, relational, and insight-oriented psychotherapy.
My work also integrates practical and behavioral approaches, including CBT, mindfulness-based strategies, emotional regulation work, and relational interventions when clinically useful.
The work is individualized rather than formulaic. Different clients require different levels of structure, depth, challenge, support, and practical application depending on what they are navigating and how they process experience.
Schedule a Consultation
The consultation is a chance for us to talk through what has been happening, what feels difficult or repetitive, what you want to change, and how I would begin thinking about the work with you specifically.
You will also get a direct sense of how I think, how I engage in conversation, and what working together actually feels like.
I typically respond quickly and can often schedule consultations within the same week.
Sessions are held virtually during daytime weekday hours.
