Appointment Times

You’re the one who keeps everything together. And it’s exhausting.

You show up. For your work, your relationships, the people who need you. From the outside, it might even look effortless. But on the inside? Your mind is rarely quiet. You replay conversations. You second-guess yourself. You worry about letting people down, about getting it wrong, about not being enough, even when you’re clearly doing so much.

Over time, carrying all of that quietly takes a toll. You might feel anxious in ways you can’t quite explain, emotionally drained in relationships, or disconnected from the parts of life that are supposed to bring you joy. Some days it feels like you’re going through the motions, and you’re tired of just managing.

You deserve more than just getting by.

I work with high-achieving women and professionals who are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and self-doubt, as well as the relational patterns that make it all harder. Maybe you give more than you receive. Maybe you struggle to set boundaries without guilt. Maybe you keep finding yourself in the same dynamics, wondering why it’s so hard to just stop.

Therapy with me is a space to slow down, get honest with yourself, and start understanding why you feel the way you do, not just how to manage it. I draw on CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches, tailoring our work to what you actually need. Together, we’ll help you feel calmer, more grounded, more confident, and more genuinely connected to yourself and to the people in your life.

This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about finally having a space that’s just for you.

I offer online therapy throughout New York State, with daytime and evening appointments available. I’m in-network with Aetna, and I’d love to connect if this sounds like what you’ve been looking for.

Outside of sessions, you’ll usually find me exploring New York City neighborhoods, trying new coffee shops, baking something sweet, or working on a new painting project. I love creative outlets and the way they help me slow down, recharge, and stay connected to myself outside of work.

I also enjoy spending time with friends and family, taking walks around the city, and finding balance in the small moments that make everyday life feel more grounding and meaningful.
