At the center of every hive is someone on whom a great many others depend.
In our professional lives, those of us who lead often must be decisive, composed, and available at all hours, to boards, to teams, to markets that do not rest. The higher we rise, the fewer places there are to speak freely, and the busier the hive becomes around us.
And yet there comes a point when the more valuable work is to be still, to consider who we are beneath the title, what the climb has asked of us and of the people we love, and where we want to go now that we have arrived somewhere we once only imagined.
My hope is that by meeting in person at my private office in Jersey City, just across the Hudson from Lower Manhattan, or via telehealth video and/or phone sessions whether you live in New York, New Jersey, Washington, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, or Connecticut, we will find a private and unhurried space, one that fits within a demanding schedule, where nothing needs to be performed and everything may be considered.
Therapist for Executives and Finance Professionals in NYC and New Jersey
I work with senior leaders and finance professionals who are accomplished by every outward measure and want a private place to think and feel more freely. Some of what we might explore together:
- Chronic stress, burnout, and difficulty switching off
- The isolation of leadership
- Strain on marriage and family life
- Anxiety, perfectionism, and fear of failure at a high level
- Transitions such as a new role, a sale, a departure, or retirement
- The trajectory of your whole career, through career counseling that looks beyond a single moment to where you began and where you want to go
How is therapy different from executive coaching?
Coaching focuses on performance and goals. Therapy is concerned with you as a whole person, including your history, your relationships, and your inner life.
How private is this?
Therapy is confidential, and because I do not bill insurance directly, nothing goes to an insurer unless you choose to submit a statement yourself. My office is private, with no shared waiting room, so you will not cross paths with a colleague on the way in.
Can sessions fit a demanding schedule?
We meet at a regular time, and telehealth lets you keep that time when you travel within the states where I am licensed.
If you’re interested in scheduling time with me, please reach out directly. I look forward to hearing from you!
Practical Details
Where do we meet?
I see patients in person at my private office in Jersey City, a short trip from Lower Manhattan, and by telehealth video or phone for those in New York, New Jersey, Washington, Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. Many of my New York patients meet with me by video, and some prefer to come in person.
How do you work?
My approach is psychoanalytically informed, which means we take time to understand the deeper patterns in your life. I also work with the connection between mind and body.
Do you take insurance?
I am an “out of network” provider and do not bill insurance directly. At the end of each month, at your direction, I can provide you with a billing statement that you may be able to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. These statements must include a diagnosis, which is something we can discuss together. Please contact your insurance company directly if you have any further questions regarding their reimbursement policies.
