Psychotherapy

In-clinic & remote sessions are available

Our work together is structured and collaborative, grounded in respect for the complexity of each person’s life.

Psychotherapy is a space to reflect, gain clarity, and navigate the challenges that arise across adulthood. I work with adults experiencing emotional distress, life transitions, relational strain, and periods of uncertainty or change. Over more than 25 years of clinical practice, I have come to understand how stress, relationships, health, and identity shape both emotional and cognitive wellbeing over time.

My Approach

My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a well-established evidence-based approach that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Therapy helps individuals recognize unhelpful patterns of thinking and develop practical strategies for responding to challenges in more effective ways.

Our work may include stress regulation techniques, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness practices, and behavioral strategies that support emotional and cognitive wellbeing.

Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable. I strive to create a respectful, collaborative environment where clients feel understood and actively engaged in their growth.

Areas of Focus

I work with adults experiencing a range of concerns, including:

  • Anxiety and stress-related difficulties
  • Depression and mood concerns
  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress
  • Relationship and interpersonal challenges
  • Caregiver stress, particularly related to dementia or chronic illness
  • Psychological stress associated with medical conditions and diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders
  • Hormonal transitions, including pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause and menopause
  • Adult ADHD and executive functioning challenges
  • Grief, loss, and major life transitions

Specialized Treatments

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after exposure to a significant trauma and may involve intrusive memories, nightmares or flashbacks, avoidance of reminders, heightened vigilance, emotional numbing, or depressive symptoms. While short-term stress reactions are normal after trauma, therapy may be helpful when symptoms persist and interfere with daily functioning.

With more than 25 years of experience working with traumatized individuals, I have provided individual and group therapy for survivors of war, assault, serious accidents, and large-scale community trauma. I conducted research and clinical work with Holocaust survivors and their families, and was part of the New York City Consortium for the Treatment of Trauma following the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, where I received specialized training in trauma-focused interventions. In my practice, I use evidence-based approaches grounded in CBT and informed by neuroscience to help clients process trauma safely, reduce symptoms, and rebuild a sense of stability and control.

Women’s Mental Health & Hormonal Transitions

Hormonal transitions — including postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause — can significantly affect mood, sleep, anxiety, memory, and emotional wellbeing.

I work with women navigating these transitions, recognizing the interaction between hormonal changes, life demands, identity, relationships, and stress. Treatment focuses on improving stress regulation, stabilizing mood, and strengthening resilience during periods of change.My work in this area is informed by specialized training through the BRIA Menopause and Mental Health Provider program.

Diabetes & Mental Health

Living with diabetes places ongoing emotional and cognitive demands on individuals and families. The daily responsibilities of monitoring, decision-making, and managing blood glucose levels can contribute to stress, burnout, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

Therapy focuses on addressing diabetes-related distress, strengthening coping strategies, and supporting emotional and cognitive wellbeing. My work in this area is informed by specialized training through the Breakthrough T1D Diabetes & Mental Health Provider course.

Aging & Older Adult Mental Health

Later life can bring meaningful transitions as well as complex emotional and cognitive challenges, including retirement, health changes, caregiving, grief, identity shifts, and concerns about memory.

Drawing on my background in neuropsychology, I help individuals understand cognitive changes, distinguish between normal aging and areas of concern, and strengthen coping strategies and emotional resilience. My work emphasizes dignity, autonomy, and supporting wellbeing across the later years of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

I work with adults and older adults on anxiety, depression, trauma, relational challenges, stress-related concerns, life transitions, and issues related to hormonal or metabolic changes. My work includes both symptom relief and strengthening long-term resilience.

Therapy is collaborative and tailored to your goals. I work from a CBT foundation, informed by neuroscience, and integrate relational and acceptance-based strategies as needed. Together we build skills in emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, stress management, and self-understanding.

Duration varies based on individual goals and concerns. Some clients engage in focused work over a few months, while others choose longer-term support. We review progress regularly, so the pace and structure feel right for you.

In the first session, we will discuss your presenting concerns, relevant history, and what you hope to achieve in therapy. Together, we will begin outlining a plan tailored to your needs and identifying initial goals. We will also take time to ensure that working together feels like a good fit. If we agree that another provider would better meet your needs, I will gladly offer referrals to trusted colleagues.

Yes — I tailor therapy to the specific context of each person’s experience. My specialized training in menopause and diabetes, along with neuropsychological expertise with aging adults, helps support emotional and cognitive wellbeing across these life challenges.
