✽ Adolescents
Adolescence in New York City is a specific experience. While teens have many opportunities to thrive, the multiple demands on their time and attention, their perceived expectations, and adolescence itself, can lead to anxiety or feelings of depression. I assist adolescents in reconnecting with themselves and making thoughtful choices that are consistent with their goals. My work with teens includes guidance for parents and collaboration with the other supports in their lives, such as pediatricians, learning specialists, and school guidance staff.
✽ Adults
My work with adults ranges from those newly transitioning to independence, to those fully established in adult life. We tackle issues around work stress and career advancement/change, relationship, family, and caregiving. Some clients are navigating the earlier stages of financial independence, responsibility for health and wellness, and finding partnership. Others are looking to optimize their potential in career or manage the demands of family. My clients seek help with self-care, anxiety and depression, substance use, and finding satisfaction in life.
✽ Relationships
Partnership provides an opportunity for connection and growth. In couples counseling, I will guide you to appreciate what is working, to communicate from an open heart, and to let go of the defensiveness that undermines true listening. My emphasis is on creating a dialogue that moves through conflict to arrive at a place where partners feel seen and supported.
