Therapy for Women
My approach
My approach is relational and psychodynamic, aiming to be open and explore what is underneath the surface. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, shaped by what feels most important to you in the moment. You don’t need to have the “right” words or a clear agenda—part of the work is making sense of things together. While I bring clinical perspective and experience, I believe you are the expert on your own life. Therapy is a space where your internal experience is prioritized over the external world. We will also work at a pace that feels supportive and manageable for you.
Location and availability
I offer in-person women’s therapy in Chappaqua and provide telehealth sessions throughout Westchester County and New York State. This allows flexibility while maintaining a consistent, thoughtful therapeutic relationship.
Getting started
Finding the right therapist is an important and personal decision. I aim to offer a supportive, collaborative space where you feel supported and understood. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is the most important part of starting therapy. If after our first session it doesn’t feel like the right fit, I will waive the fee so you can continue your search.
If you’re looking for women’s therapy in New York and would like support navigating emotional overwhelm, parenting stress, or life transitions, I invite you to reach out.
Women’s Therapy
Do you feel overwhelmed? Stretched too thin? Stuck in a pattern that does not feel sustainable? Many women are trying to walk a delicate balance between work and their personal life that leaves them feeling guilty, anxious, irritable, and depleted. You try to be the perfect employee, daughter, partner and friend while feeling emotionally drained. Even when things look “fine” on the outside, it can feel exhausting to hold everything together.
I provide therapy for women navigating emotional overwhelm, anger and irritability, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, and navigating major life transitions. Many of the women I work with are thoughtful, capable, and deeply invested in others, yet find themselves reacting in ways that don’t reflect how they want to feel or show up in the world. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin responding with more clarity and intention.
We can work on:
Balancing work with family life and personal time
Breakups, separation or divorce
Career stress and challenges
Dating and finding a partner
Deciding if you want children
Expectations of where you “should be” vs. where you are
Fertility and pressure of “the ticking clock”
Feelings of isolation or loneliness
Guilt
Lack of support
Motherhood
Marriage after children
Overwhelm and burnout
Pre-marital concerns
Saying no
Self-care
Starting a family
How therapy can help
Rather than focusing on quick fixes, my work centers on understanding emotional and relational patterns—how your past experiences, current relationships, and internal expectations shape your reactions to stress, conflict, and intimacy. When these patterns become clearer, change often evolves in a more natural and sustainable way.
In therapy, we may explore:
Emotional overwhelm, anger, or irritability
Anxiety, depression, and burnout
Relationship patterns and boundary difficulties
Life transitions
As insight grows, many women find they’re better able to communicate needs, set boundaries, tolerate difficult emotions, and feel more present in their lives.
