Psychotherapy for people who understand their patterns and still feel stuck.
I work with adults and couples who want to understand what is driving the difficulties they have not been able to change on their own.

01
When understanding has not led to change
Many people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and very good at understanding other people. They are often much harder on themselves. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, self-criticism, conflict, or a sense that they are living according to other people’s expectations.
They can often explain the pattern clearly. What they want is help changing it.

02 · Point of view
To change a behavior, we have to understand what drives it.
Feeling understood matters. Therapy also makes room for something that is difficult to arrange on your own: nonjudgmental curiosity about thoughts, feelings, and ways of relating that you have not fully noticed or been able to put into words.
Tips, exercises, and direct suggestions can be useful, and I offer them when they fit. On their own they are often not enough. Lasting change usually depends on understanding the conflicts and assumptions underneath a pattern, so that the solutions you arrive at are your own.

How I work
Therapy with me is collaborative. I bring clinical training, close attention, and a point of view. You bring knowledge of your own life that I cannot have. Together we work out what is happening and what you want from the treatment.
I am active in the room. I listen closely, ask questions, and tell you what I notice. The relationship between us is part of the work: it gives us a place to notice familiar patterns as they happen and try something different. I also want to hear what you need more or less of from me, and whether the work is going the way you hoped it would.
In practice
I see adults and couples in person at 156 Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron district, and online in New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.
Most patients meet weekly or more often. Consultations are free and last 15 minutes.
