About
I believe in the capacity of us all to define our life's path by taking risks and stretching in new directions. This can be one of the hardest parts of OCD and anxiety: feeling like your choices are dictated by the lump in your throat, the pit in your stomach, or obsessive thoughts. Before becoming a therapist, I was a practicing lawyer for 17 years. That experience informs my work with clients as we strengthen their inner advocate and, often, develop a truer understanding of who they are and want to be when actively choosing how to live. You are not that critical, anxious voice in your head; let's clarify and pursue the real you. My style is engaged, gentle, and directive. I listen closely and value a dynamic exchange of ideas in sessions. Our brains are both fantastic and oddly glitchy; it is important to understand how yours works in order to manage anxiety and OCD, so that is a key part of my approach. I primarily integrate CBT, ERP, and ACT (see details below), in a tailored mix. I have specialized training in treating OCD and anxiety at two practices in NYC: the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy and Mindful Psychological Services, PLLC. I also provide couples therapy and have completed Level 3 Gottman Method training. My work with couples is further informed by my legal experience in negotiations and dispute resolution.
