How I work
Therapy should feel like the most useful conversation you have all week.
I work with anxious, high-functioning people in New York State — telehealth only, so wherever you are.
01 HOW I WORK
I'm not going to reflect your words back at you.
I listen for what's true underneath the version of the story you've already edited. I name patterns when I see them, ask the uncomfortable question when it would help, and I'll tell you directly if I think we're circling instead of moving.
Sessions usually feel like a conversation with somewhere to go. Not comfortable, necessarily. Something shifts — maybe you say something you've never said quite that way before, or I point out something you've been talking around, or you leave with a different frame on something you've been stuck on. It doesn't feel like following a protocol.
We stay close to what's actually happening — your body, your relationships, the specific thing that came up this week. Not because somatic awareness is a trend, but because that's where patterns live and where they can actually change. You can have complete insight into your anxiety and still feel it every morning. The goal isn't more understanding. The goal is changing the thing.
If you leave a session with nothing you can use on a Tuesday, we missed the point.
02 WHO THIS IS FOR
You've been trying to figure this out for a while.
Most of the people I work with are high-functioning. They hold it together professionally. They show up for other people. They can describe what's happening to them with real clarity — and then wait for the part that finally changes it.
That gap — between knowing what's wrong and being able to shift it — is where this work lives.
You don't need to be in crisis. You don't need a dramatic history or the obvious bad thing. You need to be tired enough of the pattern that you're willing to look at it differently.
This works best if you can tolerate some pushback. I notice things, name things, and sometimes disagree with the story you've been telling yourself. Most people have more capacity for that than they expect. The ones who don't tend to find that out in the first few sessions, which is useful information either way.
03 WHERE I SPECIALIZE
These are the areas I work in most.
They overlap more than the names suggest. Pick the one that sounds closest to where you are.
Your brain won't shut up
Read moreThe 2am brain that won't quit. The stomach-drop before sending a text.
The mental rehearsal of conversations that haven't happened.
Anxiety isn't a personality trait: it's your body stuck on high alert. We figure out what's underneath.
You know what to do. You can't start
Read moreTime blindness, task paralysis, the shame spiral after a decade of being told you just need to try harder.
ADHD isn't a willpower problem.
We track how your brain actually behaves, then build from there — not from the shame script you've been handed.
You said yes. You meant no
Read moreThe ones who say yes too fast. The ones who apologize for taking up space.
The ones who keep ending up in the same dynamics with different people.
We name the patterns, we name what they cost you, and we get clear on what they've been covering for.
It never quite feels like enough
Read moreThe voice that says it's not good enough yet. The bar that moves every time you reach it.
The certainty that everyone else knows something you don't.
Perfectionism isn't ambition: it's anxiety in a more socially acceptable outfit. We find what it's protecting you from admitting out loud.
The ground moved. You're not sure who you are in it
Read moreCareer changes, breakups, becoming a parent, leaving a religion, questioning who you are beyond the roles you've always played.
Transitions rarely stay tidy. They drag old stuff to the surface.
We make sense of what's actually shaking loose.
What you learned at home still runs the show
Read moreUntangling what you learned young — the emotionally unavailable parents, the dynamics you swore you'd never repeat, the quiet ways they still run the show.
We go at a pace you can actually tolerate, and we don't pretend there's a clean shortcut through the hard part.
Wired and flat at the same time
Read moreAnxious enough to spiral. Depleted enough to stop caring. Both, at once.
Anxiety and depression feed each other. Treating only one usually leaves the other running underneath.
We work with both.
You're not lazy. You're depleted
Read moreThe exhaustion sleep doesn't touch. The flatness where motivation used to be.
A vacation helps for about three days, then it's back.
Burnout isn't a willpower problem: it's what happens when the demand on you outpaced what you had to give. We work on the structure underneath it, not just the symptoms.
If something here sounded familiar, a short call is usually the easiest way to see if we're a fit.
You don't have to fall apart for this to matter.
