Therapy for working professionals in NYC hoping to find that work/life balance. Helping those find reassurance in navigating ADHD, anxiety, and depression through creative and traditional approaches.
Therapy available in person or virtually across New York and Manhattan
You’re then trying to figure out how to find pleasure with a work/life balance
We’re rushing to yoga or crossfit in hopes to feel some relief. Maybe you’re killing it in “finance” or tech — the job you swore would fix everything… Yet here you are, still anxious and depressed.
Maybe you work on Broadway, are in grad school, or pursuing a career you’re not even sure you like but rent must be paid. You’re then trying to figure out how to find the pleasure with a work/life balance in a city that asks you to reinvent yourself every five minutes.
Feeling pleasure in your daily life again
Turns out a steady nervous system changes everything.
Life still throws the unexpected, but now you have the tools, clarity, and confidence to handle it without spiraling.
In a sea of therapists… Why me?
You want a therapist who stays with you for the long haul, who knows your story, who catches your patterns, who challenges you with warmth and humor.
I bring 25+ years of experience, extensive clinical training utilizing psychoanalytic/psychodynamic theory, art therapy, and training in maternal mental health, plus my own lived experiences in NYC.
This is therapy that moves with an interactive, experienced therapist (with a great sense of humor) based on the individual's needs and goals.
