Emotional And Psychological Challenges Addressed In This Practice

People seek therapy for many different reasons — anxiety that won’t quiet, relationship patterns that repeat, burnout that feels unsustainable, or a sense of disconnection from oneself. In fast-paced environments like New York City, high-functioning adults often carry significant internal stress while maintaining external success. Trauma may underlie perfectionism. Chronic pressure may fuel substance use. Hormonal shifts may intensify anxiety or depression. What appears as procrastination may reflect nervous system exhaustion.

I work with adults, professionals, and couples throughout NYC and New York who are navigating emotional, relational, and nervous system-based challenges. Whether you are seeking trauma therapy, support for anxiety or depression, help for burnout, or integrative care for complex health concerns, therapy offers a structured and confidential space to understand the root causes of distress and move toward sustainable change.

Below are the primary areas I support:

Trauma & Emotional Distress

Unresolved trauma — whether developmental, relational, medical, or acute — often shapes patterns of anxiety, depression, self-criticism, and relational instability. Many high-achieving individuals in demanding NYC careers learn to function despite distress, minimizing the long-term impact on their nervous systems.

I provide treatment for:

• Trauma Therapy

• PTSD Therapy

• Anxiety Therapy

• Phobia Therapy

• Panic Disorder Therapy

• Illness Anxiety therapy

• Depression Therapy

• Addictions, Compulsions & Substance Use

• Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

• Medical Trauma Recovery

These conditions frequently co-occur and are often rooted in nervous system dysregulation and attachment injury. Treatment may integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, and evidence-based psychotherapy to support deeper resolution rather than symptom management alone.

Relationships & Attachment Patterns

In high-performance cultures, relational patterns such as people pleasing, chronic self-doubt, emotional reactivity, or difficulty setting boundaries often develop as adaptive strategies. Over time, these patterns can interfere with intimacy, confidence, and self-trust.

I work with individuals across New York who are navigating:

• Couple therapy & High-conflict relationship therapy

• Discernment, separation & divorce therapy

• Sexual Counseling & Intimacy therapy

• Affair Recovery therapy

• Non-traditional relationship counseling

• Avoidant Personality Traits Therapy

• Borderline Personality Traits Therapy

• Codependency therapy

• Family therapy with adult children

Through attachment-informed and trauma-focused therapy, we explore how these patterns formed and develop more stable, secure ways of relating — both internally and in relationships.

Performance, Burnout & Executive Stress

NYC professionals frequently operate in sustained states of urgency and responsibility. Chronic overdrive, perfectionism, and high-visibility roles can contribute to burnout, attentional challenges, and reliance on unhealthy coping strategies.

Common concerns include:

• Executive & Professional Burnout therapy

• Adult ADHD Therapy

• Procrastination & low-Motivation therapy

• Post-Rehab support

• Self-Sabotage therapy

• Complex personality dynamics 

• Chronic Stress Therapy

• midlife Professional women’s therapy

• post-rehab support therapy

Therapy focuses on nervous system regulation, sustainable performance, recalibrating expectations, and redefining identity beyond achievement.

Health, Identity & Life Transitions

Significant life changes and health challenges can destabilize even resilient individuals. Complex or chronic illness, perimenopause, aging, and grief often impact identity, mood, and relationships — particularly in high-demand environments.

I provide integrative mental health support for adults in New York experiencing:

• Complex & Chronic Illness Therapy

• Aging & Midlife Transitions therapy

• Perimenopause Mental Health counseling

• Shame & Self-Compassion therapy

• People Pleasing, perfectionism & Imposter Syndrome therapy

• Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) Therapy

• Negative Thought Patterns & Emotional Reactivity therapy

• Grief, Loss & Transitions therapy

• Anger management therapy

This work often incorporates nervous system-informed care and lifestyle-based strategies alongside psychotherapy, recognizing the interplay between physiological and psychological stressors.

An Integrative framework

While these categories provide structure, therapy is never confined to a single label. Anxiety may intersect with burnout. Trauma may influence relationship patterns. Perimenopause may intensify longstanding vulnerabilities. Treatment is individualized and grounded in a comprehensive understanding of how the brain, body, and relational systems interact.

Through integrative psychotherapy, EMDR, somatic work, and nervous system-informed care, I support adults and couples throughout NYC and New York in building resilience, emotional stability, and sustainable well-being.

If you are unsure where your experience fits, that is entirely normal. Therapy begins with thoughtful assessment and collaboration to determine the most effective path forward.
