Before becoming a therapist, I spent 18 years in high-performance environments—as a Division I athlete and later as a Division I coach, including at Columbia University.

That experience shapes how I understand pressure, discipline, identity, competition, and setback. I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to pursue meaningful goals—and the emotional cost that can come with it.

My work is especially well-suited for people who are driven, capable, and used to pushing through challenges. Therapy here is about clarity, responsibility, emotional flexibility, and building a way of living that holds upright on your path.

I provide virtual individual therapy for adults (18+) across New York State.

Virtual sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant video platform. You can attend from any private location within New York State.

Many clients find virtual therapy to be just as effective as in-person sessions, with the added benefit of convenience and consistency.

The best way to determine fit is through a brief introductory call or an initial session. I work best with adults who are thoughtful, motivated, and willing to examine their beliefs and patterns honestly. If after speaking we determine another referral would be more appropriate, I will say so.

My practice provides outpatient individual therapy for adults who are stable and seeking structured, reflective work around anxiety, pressure, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Certain conditions require specialized treatment models or a higher level of care. For example, individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), or those experiencing severe emotional dysregulation that typically requires comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) programming, are often best served in dedicated DBT programs rather than individual outpatient therapy alone.

Similarly, individuals experiencing any of the conditions below often require a higher level of care or specialized services:

• Active suicidal intent

• Recent suicide attempts

• Ongoing severe self-harm

• Active psychosis

• Unmanaged bipolar disorder

• Active substance dependence

If at any point I believe another provider or treatment setting would better support your needs, I will discuss this openly and help guide you toward appropriate resources.

Standard sessions are approximately 45 minutes.

My work is informed by CBT/REBT and existential therapy.

We examine the beliefs and narratives shaping your emotional responses, clarify the values you want to live by, and build practical skills for responding to pressure with more flexibility and agency.

I require at least 48 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours notice may be subject to the full session fee. Insurance companies do not reimburse for late cancellations or missed appointments.

The first session focuses on understanding what’s bringing you to therapy, your history, and what you would like to change. We will also discuss how I work and determine a direction for future sessions.

The length of therapy varies depending on your goals. Some clients seek short-term, focused work. When the fit is right, positive changes and improvements can be seen within several sessions.

Others engage in more longer-term exploration and growth. We will revisit this regularly.

When clinically appropriate, I provide diagnoses as part of treatment planning and insurance documentation.

Insurance companies typically require a diagnosis for reimbursement. Private pay services do not require a diagnosis.
