Psychotherapist · New York, NY & online
Therapy for new and expecting mothers — and for the people everyone else leans on.
Most of my practice is perinatal: pregnancy, postpartum, loss, and fertility treatment. The rest is anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism in demanding lives. Active and direct either way, even about the feelings you haven’t said out loud.
Is this you?
From the outside, it’s supposed to be the happiest time.
You’re pregnant, newly postpartum, grieving a loss, or somewhere in the long middle of fertility treatment — and what you actually feel is more complicated than anyone warned you. You watch other mothers make it look natural. You say “we’re so happy” and mean about a third of it.
That doesn’t make you ungrateful. It makes you a person in the middle of the biggest rearrangement a life goes through — which is exactly the work I do. How I work with pregnancy, postpartum, and loss.
The other side of my practice has pages of its own: anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and demanding careers — or start with everything I work with.
How I work
Close attention, straight answers.
I’m an active therapist. I ask for the specific moment, not the general week, because the details are where things actually change — and then I’m honest about what I notice and where I think we should go next. You’ll never wonder what I’m thinking.
The training behind it: Columbia, an inpatient psychiatric placement at Mount Sinai, and a practice built on psychodynamic and relational therapy, Bowen family systems, and ACT.
About me
How I ended up here.
Most of my clients now are women somewhere between trying to conceive and the end of the first year postpartum. A new baby arrives with a team — pediatrician, lactation consultant, visiting relatives. The mother gets asked whether she’s sleeping, and then the conversation moves on. I built my practice around being the one who doesn’t move on.
Before this I was a software investor. What held my attention was the founders — people under enormous pressure, with almost no one to be honest with. I retrained at Columbia so I could sit on their side of the table.
What to expect
How the work begins.
- 01
A free 15-minute call
We talk through what's going on and whether I'm the right person for it. If I'm not, I'll say so.
- 02
Your first session
Mostly me getting the lay of the land — what brought you in, the shape of your life, and what you want to be different. You don't need to prepare anything or have it figured out. That part is my job.
- 03
From there, we get to work
You set the pace on the heavy stuff. Most people meet weekly, moving between understanding a pattern and actually shifting it — with one eye on what's different in your life outside this room.
Let’s talk first
The first step is a free 15-minute call.
You get a feel for how I work, I get a sense of what you need. If it’s a fit, we book a first session. If it isn’t, no harm done.
