I offer individual psychotherapy for adults in New York, with sessions available in person in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and online throughout the state.

Gambling & Substance Use

I work with people whose relationship with gambling or substances has become a problem, including those who are ambivalent about whether they want to change. These behaviors serve a purpose: managing stress, regulating emotion, or filling a gap in connection. Treatment focuses on the conditions that sustain these behaviors and what makes them hard to give up. Understanding why they persist is often what makes it possible to shift them.

Anxiety

I treat anxiety-related concerns including avoidance, rumination, and worry. These can look like staying busy to avoid sitting with discomfort, thoughts that circle without resolution, or a sense that something is wrong without knowing what. We attend to both the presenting symptoms and what’s driving them. Over time, these experiences become less overwhelming and easier to tolerate.

Relationship Issues

I help individuals navigating difficulties in romantic, familial, and interpersonal relationships. This can show up as emotional withdrawal, conflict avoidance, or recurring dynamics across relationships. Treatment explores how earlier experiences shaped these tendencies and why they persist. As their meaning becomes clearer, these patterns become easier to interrupt and less likely to repeat.
