Therapy for High Achieving Women NYC

Does This Sound Familiar?

You look fine, but inside feels like a different story

You’re working hard to build a life that looks good on paper– career, relationships, accomplishments. But behind that capable exterior, there’s a voice that never stops. It’s the worry that you’re falling behind, that you’re never enough, and that one mistake could unravel everything you’ve worked so hard to build.

You’re not broken. And you’re not alone. High-functioning anxiety and depression are real–and they disproportionately affect smart, driven women. The same relentless perfectionism that makes you effective at work is exhausting you from the inside out.

It doesn’t have to be this way

I have developed an approach to therapy that actually fits your life either in-person or virtually.

My work is evidenced based and is tailored to you. It combines a practical psychodynamic foundation with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, self-compassion, and action steps—a comprehensive technique I’ve refined over more than 10 years of clinical practice.

Before becoming a therapist, I had a previous life as a professional TV producer and writer, where I learned firsthand about pressure, setbacks, and burnout. So, when it comes to helping ambitious women navigate challenges—let’s just say I’ve been there.

I bring compassion, honesty, and real tools to our sessions. You’ll leave with insights you can actually use–not just a place to vent.
