Welcome!
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and parenting strain, drawing on over twenty years of clinical experience.
My work is grounded in extensive postgraduate training, including a four-year program in Contemporary Psychoanalysis at The National Institute for Psychoanalysis. This training supports a depth-oriented approach that engages the underlying patterns shaping emotional and relational life.
Our work together unfolds through sustained dialogue and reflection. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, we attend to the deeper patterns shaping your emotional and relational life.
About:
My clinical formation reflects over two decades of rigorous study and sustained commitment to the practice of psychotherapy. The work of therapy, when engaged seriously and consistently, can open new possibilities in how one understands oneself and relates to others.
I earned my undergraduate degree from Barnard College and completed a Master’s in Clinical Social Work at New York University. I later undertook a four-year postgraduate program in Contemporary Psychoanalysis at The National Institute for Psychoanalysis — an intensive training that profoundly shaped my understanding of the psyche and the complexity of human experience. This formation continues to inform my commitment to depth, dialogue, and the belief that meaningful change emerges through careful attention to both inner life and relational experience.
I have been in private practice for over sixteen years and bring decades of clinical experience to my work with individuals and couples.
I completed advanced training in Couples Therapy through a one-year program at The Institute for Mental Health, studying with leading clinicians in the field. Over the years, I have continued to pursue additional trainings and workshops internationally, remaining engaged in ongoing professional development.
In addition to my clinical practice, I provide supervision privately and at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies, supporting therapists in deepening their clinical thinking and relational work.
Although a native New Yorker, I have lived and traveled extensively. These experiences inform my work across cultures and communities in both New York and Mallorca.
Therapy:
Therapy is a personal process, and finding the right therapist matters. With over twenty years of clinical experience, I bring depth, steadiness, and sustained engagement to the work. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic thinking and shaped by years of study, supervision, and practice.
Our work together will focus on strengthening your relationship with yourself. When that connection becomes more stable, decisions tend to feel clearer and relationships more navigable. Therapy offers a space to explore patterns, emotions, and relational dynamics with curiosity rather than judgment.
As your therapist, I will engage you in thoughtful and at times challenging reflection, always with sensitivity and care. Therapy includes difficult moments, but it also allows for connection, relief, and even moments of humor. The process is collaborative and deeply human.
Over time, many clients begin to experience shifts in how they understand themselves and how they move through their relationships. The work is not about quick solutions, but about developing a more grounded and authentic way of living.
Individual Therapy:
Individual therapy offers space to reflect on the patterns that shape your emotional life, relationships, and sense of self. Often, difficulties that feel immediate or situational are connected to longer-standing ways of relating, coping, or protecting oneself. By bringing these patterns into awareness, new possibilities can begin to emerge.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic and relational thinking. This means we attend not only to symptoms, but to the underlying dynamics that sustain them. The therapeutic relationship itself becomes part of the work — a space where recurring relational themes can be observed, understood, and gradually transformed.
With over twenty years of clinical experience, I approach this process with steadiness, curiosity, and care. Therapy unfolds through sustained dialogue and reflection, at a pace that allows for depth without losing practical relevance.
Couples Therapy:
Couples often seek therapy when they feel caught in painful cycles, facing significant strain, or struggling to understand one another despite genuine care. Others come not in crisis, but with the wish to strengthen and deepen an already meaningful partnership. Whatever brings you, beginning couples therapy requires courage. My role is to provide a steady, nonjudgmental space where both partners can reflect, speak openly, and better understand the patterns shaping their relationship.
With many years of experience working with couples, I approach this work with both structure and flexibility. Sessions focus on slowing down recurring dynamics, clarifying misunderstandings, and creating conditions where each partner feels heard without escalation or withdrawal.
My work with couples draws from Imago Couples Therapy, a structured and compassionate framework that helps partners explore how early relational experiences influence present-day patterns of connection and conflict. Rather than focusing solely on resolving arguments, we attend to the deeper emotional currents beneath them.
The aim is not simply to eliminate conflict, but to cultivate greater understanding, emotional safety, and mutual responsiveness.
If relevant, in our work together, we explore sexual concerns from multiple perspectives. Intimacy is complex and deeply personal, and difficulties can emerge for many different reasons — relational, emotional, medical, cultural, or developmental. There is no single path we must follow; instead, we work collaboratively to understand what is shaping your experience.
A significant part of my approach draws from Narrative Relational Sex Therapy (NRST), which helps individuals and couples examine the personal and cultural stories that influence desire, shame, expectation, and connection. Bringing these narratives into awareness often clarifies patterns that previously felt confusing or stuck.
At the same time, we also attend to practical and physiological factors when relevant, recognizing that sexual well-being involves both relational and embodied dimensions. The aim is not to impose a framework, but to create space for honest exploration, understanding, and greater ease in your intimate life.
Supervision:
In addition to my clinical practice, I provide supervision and consultation to psychotherapists at various stages of their professional development. I serve as a supervisor at The National Institute for the Psychotherapies and work privately with clinicians seeking to deepen their clinical thinking and expand their capacity for complex relational work.
My approach to supervision is collaborative, rigorous, and reflective. I support therapists in developing their own voice while strengthening their theoretical grounding and confidence in the room. Our work often attends not only to technique, but to the emotional and relational dynamics that shape the therapeutic encounter.
