Clients in NYC may schedule an in-person appointment. She is available for telehealth sessions to all New York State residents.

Message to clients

It is reasonable to expect trust and respect in your relationship with your therapist. In our work together, that will be my priority. My goal is to strengthen your voice and show you that a joyful life is possible.

Although I do use diagnosis to ensure that my support of you is evidence based and ethical, I do not pathologize my clients. Rather I see you as whole people who are seeking therapy to learn skills to cope with a world that is challenging, dynamic and also wonderful.

In therapy, we will partner together to build insight into how you can have a meaningful and balanced life. Then, when our time together is over, you can take those skills and insights with you to face life's challenges with a new confidence in your core self and an ability to find joy in the world.
