We are a thoughtful and diverse team of clinicians. We encourage you to look at each of us and to see if what one of us writes resonates for you.
I hold my MSW from NYU Silver School for Social Work, where I did graduate research on healing from collective trauma. I create an open, empathetic, non-judgmental space and draw from a variety of philosophies and modalities including: psychodynamic, CBT, trauma-informed, somatic, feminist and relational approaches, and art and play therapy. I bring an awareness of and curiosity about the impacts of systemic oppression, historical trauma, and early childhood experiences, to work with you to move towards goals of your choosing, whether those be internal or external. I have worked most with teens, parents, families, and young adults, from a variety of race and class backgrounds, and in particular Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.
I look forward to meeting you.
I often work with individuals who do not know themselves or who experience deep feelings of emptiness and dread; who suffer with fears and phobias; who have difficulties around their sexuality and/or gender; and who suffer with physical ailments not otherwise explained by medicine.
My style is marked by a deep openness to experience and a revisiting of emotions and memories in a non-judgmental and collaborative environment. In this jointly created space, we’ll work toward possible goals such as: stopping repetitive destructive behaviors, achieving satisfying relationships, and reaching your creative, emotional and professional potential.
My education includes a clinically focused MSW from NYU and post-graduate training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and Eating Disorders, Compulsions and Addictions from the William Alanson White Institute. I am currently in a formation program at Après-Coup Psychoanalytic Association to become a psychoanalyst. I actively participate in ongoing psychoanalytic study groups on various topics, and supervision. I am also currently training in Performance Studies at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. I have lived, studied, and worked cross-culturally in Israel, Brazil, and Argentina. I speak Portuguese and English fluently.

My approach to therapy is individualized, person-centered, and relational. I believe that the physical body holds immense wisdom, and can be an excellent starting point for bridging the space between our thoughts and feelings. I believe that healing occurs when we can find ways to articulate, express, and connect with our embodied experiences. Integration is a word I emphasize in my work to describe the healing effects of talk therapy. By talking through unprocessed and/or unconscious thoughts, emotions and memories, you will begin to integrate those experiences by mending them into your conscious mind.
I am a New York State-licensed social worker. I earned my MSW at Columbia University and a BA from Barnard College. I have experience working with sexual and reproductive health, children and families, as well as addiction, substance abuse, and chronic illness. Most of my clients come to me with complaints of anxiety and depression, in addition to relationship problems; however, I treat a variety of other concerns. I am interested in helping you find effective ways of coping with stress and cultivating a strong sense of personal empowerment.

Before I came to New York, I was a lecturer in medical school and a neuroscientist. I was interested in the wonders of the brain from a scientist’s point of view. My focus, over the last decade, has shifted from the brain to the mind. I think of psychotherapy – and, in particular, the psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis I practice – as a profound journey of understanding of oneself. Its purpose is to help people to understand feelings, behaviors, and habits that are troubling to them and to enrich their lives with new creativity, more fulfilling careers, and more meaningful relationships.
I work with individuals and couples, adults and children. I work with people who suffer from depression, anxiety, phobias, childhood and more recent traumas, addictions, physical complaints that have no physiological explanations, and many other difficulties. I work with people facing difficult decisions in their lives, whether about their careers or relationships.
I am fluent in English and in my native language, Mandarin.

I believe that no one should face difficult times alone. By being warm, empathic, and non-judgmental, I provide a safe space where you can express yourself and feel seen and understood.
I have extensive postgraduate training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, and experience of working at an out-patient clinic and private practice. I work with a diverse population of patients, including immigrants and LGBTQ. My previous academic and Wall Street career has provided me with a particular sensitivity to the kinds of problems that arise at school and in high-paced work environments, and understanding of creative blocks and difficult life transitions. I work especially well with clients at crossroads, struggling to figure out who they are and what they want in life, work, and relationships.
Together we will work to better understand your experiences, help you heal, find the strength to face challenges, and ultimately lead a more aware, fulfilling life.
I practice in English and Russian. I’ll be happy to hear from you if you have a question or would like to schedule a consultation.

As a licensed social worker, I have received my master’s degree from New York University’s Silver School of Social Work. My past internships in diverse clinical settings have enabled me to be a non-judgmental, attentive listener while creating a safe space for my clients, and I approach them with the attention, compassion, and commitment they deserve.
Having been raised in both London and Brooklyn, and in both cases within a traditional religious community, I have a particular interest in working with members of the Chassidic community. I’m fluent in English and Yiddish, which provides me with a unique ability to communicate with and understand the challenges faced by people who are part of, or who grew up in, similar settings.
While I specialize in issues concerning females and couples therapy, I am well-versed in various modalities including psychoanalysis, CBT, couples therapy, substance use and addiction. I also have an interest in women’s issues, relationships, depression, anxiety and gender identity.

I see therapy as a partnership in the exploration of where you are, where you’ve been and where you’re going, and of the meaning that life holds for you. Sometimes people seek therapy to address a pressing issue or complicated feelings. Other times, people come with a wish for more meaning, understanding and better relationships. My approach to psychotherapy is to listen carefully so that we can both begin to understand your experience more deeply.
I work with children and parents, adolescents, and adults. I often see people at times of transition. These challenging times can be ripe with opportunity for growth and finding deeper meaning and satisfaction.
I welcome your full self into the room. Together, we can support you in developing the space within yourself to be curious about yourself, and to move towards being able to tolerate all your feelings. From the difficult work environments, rocky relationships, violence of oppression to the resurfacing of your own past harms, we can explore it together. I work with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, and trauma.
Using a psychodynamic approach, I bring to my practice a strong attention to the impact of social injustice, institutionalized violence and social marginalization on our own lives and the lives of those we love. I received my MSW from Hunter College, CUNY, and am completing a PhD in Sociology at NYU. Currently, I study at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research (IPTAR). As well as my clinical practice, I spent years coordinating the NYC Trans Oral History Project, organizing with communities impacted by HIV and AIDS, and on the frontlines of social justice advocacy.

Welcome. I believe that putting into words whatever you may be struggling with is the first step to healing. I provide a safe space for you to be seen and heard, and will collaborate to establish a trusting relationship. I will help you articulate the difficulties that you bring in. Through exploration of your thoughts and feelings, we will gain awareness of the underlying causes of your struggles and better ways to manage them. My hope is that you will feel more grounded in your own experience, feel better equipped to face challenges that come your way, and feel more connected to those around you.
I have advanced postgraduate training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I listen carefully to what you tell me, and what you show me about your inner experience.
I work with individuals facing a range of challenges such as depression, anxiety, life transitions (pregnancy, new parenthood, marriage, divorce, loss), relationship problems and issues related to the arts/creative expression. I look forward to hearing from you.

My work is grounded in the desire to help you create the most crucial relationship in your life – your relationship with yourself. I base my work on exploring the thoughts and feelings associated with the self. I provide warmth and support to people who are working through identity confusion or loss, gender and sexual identity exploration, grief and mourning, anxiety, depression, intrusive and ruminative thoughts, and relational difficulties.
I also have a particular interest in multicultural psychology, arising from my immigration experience from Ukraine. I believe cultural issues, such as immigration, acculturation, bilingualism, cultural identity, and cultural stigma, significantly affect not only our state of mind but also our views of mental health and access to services. Through witnessing a wide range of systemic issues in a client base – race, ethnicity, class, and gender – I strive to incorporate an analysis of oppression into my healing practice and worldview. I wholeheartedly commit to my work through advocacy, teamwork, and volunteering.
My compassionate approach to conducting therapy is intended to help you develop deeper self-awareness. Cultivating self-awareness is not something to be categorized and explained, but rather to be experienced and embraced to whatever capacity you have today. I incorporate somatic movement practices, yoga, and meditation as additional therapeutic offerings.
I believe that through reciprocated and mutual attention, security, time, and full mirroring of ourselves through the therapeutic relationship, we can heal ourselves. Beginning therapy can feel daunting – it requires embracing the uncertainty and authenticity that comes with time. I will be honored to support you in making your first step toward multiple possibilities.

My office is a warm, weIcoming, safe place to explore depression, anxiety, shame, compulsion, out-of-control behaviors and addiction, and trauma and abuse. I have worked in competitive and highly demanding professional environments, just like my patients. I’m interested in your experience of the world today and in the troubles you face. I listen deeply, closely, intently, with non-judgmental curiosity, and see our work together as a laboratory. If we are successful, together, we will confront your challenges and increase your sense of what’s possible in life.
I have a BA from Columbia University, and an MBA and an MSW from New York University. I am a licensed clinical social worker, and am pursuing psychoanalytic training (I’m an “advanced candidate”) at the Psychoanalytic Training Institute of CFS.
I’m affiliated with the Sexuality, Attachment, and Trauma Project, and I’m the director of the Sexuality, Attachment, and Trauma Network. The SAT Project provides treatment to people struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior or “sexual addiction,” conducts research, and offers continuing education to clinicians. The SAT Network is a global network of clinicians who work psychodynamically with adults struggling with out-of-control or “ego-dystonic” or problematic sexual behavior.
