I offer psychotherapy for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their lives.

Many people come to therapy with a sense that something is not quite right. They may notice repeated patterns in relationships, persistent feelings of anxiety or depression, or a more diffuse sense of dissatisfaction or disconnection. These experiences are often not random. Over time, they begin to reveal underlying patterns in how we relate to ourselves and others.

Psychotherapy provides a space to examine these patterns carefully and in-depth. Rather than focusing only on symptom relief or short-term solutions, our work is oriented toward understanding the meanings and histories that shape your experience. This process often unfolds gradually, through sustained attention to thoughts, feelings, past experiences, as well as to the therapeutic relationship itself.

My approach is informed by psychoanalytic and existential traditions. I am interested in how earlier experiences, often outside of conscious awareness, continue to influence present life. These experiences often cohere around such domains as intimacy, identity, and desire.

I work with individuals in person in the New Haven area and via telehealth in New York City as well as across PSYPACT-participating states.

My work is informed by psychoanalytic and existential traditions, which share a commitment to understanding the complexity of human experience beyond what is immediately visible.

Rather than approaching difficulties as isolated symptoms to be eliminated, I understand them as meaningful expressions that emerge within a person’s history, relationships, and ways of being in the world. Feelings such as anxiety, depression, or dissatisfaction often reflect patterns that have developed over time. These patterns may have been necessary to see you through difficult time in your life, but they also may no longer serve you in the present. It can be difficult to make the transition from living as a survivor to living as one who has survived.

In our work together, we will attend closely to your experience as it unfolds, both in your life outside of therapy and within the context of the therapeutic space, as well. Over time, recurring themes often become clearer: ways of relating to others, expectations about yourself, and forms of conflict or tension that may not be fully conscious.

This work requires time, consistency, and a willingness to reflect, but yields a deeper sense of freedom and authorship over one’s life. Through this process of depth psychotherapy, you can feel less constrained by patterns that once felt inevitable, and more able to live in a way that feels genuine and spontaneous.

While I draw from psychoanalytic thinking, my approach is not rigid or doctrinaire. I aim to meet each person as they are, and to allow the work to develop in a way that is responsive to their particular concerns and questions.

• I currently work virtually in New York City and maintain an in-person office in New Haven.

• I am licensed to practice in New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, and am also registered with Psypact, an interjuristictional psychology license compact, which allows me to practice virtually in most states. For a map of all states in which I can practice, please consult the Psypact website: https://psypact.gov/.

• I accept Aetna insurance in New York and Massachusetts, as well as the NYU student health insurance plan (Wellfleet.) If you do not have insurance, I’m happy to assist in securing out-of-network reimbursement, which in some cases can be comparable to in-network rates.

• Finding a good fit with your therapist is important, and to that end I offer a 15-20 minute phone consultation at no charge.
