Psychotherapy
My clients seek relief from stress at home, work, school, in relationships, and parenting. With over 20 years of experience in New York City and California, I help people dealing with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I use my skills to guide the best approach for your goals. I am an engaged therapist who helps keep you motivated. Together, we will build a safe space where you can share your experiences, uncover patterns, and gain new tools to overcome challenges. We will work together to achieve the goals we set in our sessions. Therapy can be tough, but you won’t be alone in this journey.
