Therapy for therapists
in New York
A safe space that holds you.
And pushes you.
Putting you on the hot seat.
I believe change and growth live outside our comfort zones. To get better, we have to get uncomfortable. For therapists, that's tough.
When it's time to find your own therapy, a lot of us struggle to find the right fit. I know I did. Therapists tend to be good at being the biggest person in the room — holding steady and staying one step ahead. Probably because so many of us are parentified kids.
In therapy, though, that asset becomes a liability. We see around corners. We anticipate moves. Standard therapy can feel too squishy to actually hold us, because we're built to slip past soft.
What I try to bring is a balance between warmth and challenge—helping you lower your guard to then get outside your comfort zone.

Ok, but how does it work?
I call it Functional Psychotherapy — bottom-up, experiential work aimed at the root of a pattern, not managing it from the top down. The therapists I've learned the most from balanced kindness and understanding with a willingness to push — an occasional, well-placed challenge that actually got me thinking. I try to hold that same balance: listening and reflecting when that's useful, and pushing back when it's not.
