You should have it all together by now. Says who?

Psychotherapy · Virtual in NY, NJ & CA

Hi, I'm Sam. I work with adults, couples and families, mostly people in their 20s and 30s, on anxiety, relationships, identity, perfectionism and all the big life changes nobody warns you about. Laugh, cry, curse. Honestly, all of it works in here.

HOW I WORK

Okay, so maybe…

  • On paper you’re thriving. At night your brain replays every meeting, every text, every “wait, was that weird?” We’ll figure out what’s keeping you up and give your mind somewhere better to go.

  • Like, constantly. Anxiety loves a worst-case scenario. Together we’ll learn to notice the loop, question it and stop letting it make your decisions for you.

  • A move, a breakup, a new job, a new version of you. Even good change can knock you off balance. This is a place to sort through all of it and figure out who you want to be on the other side.

  • You and your person (or your family) keep landing in the same argument. We’ll look at the pattern underneath it, so you can actually hear each other instead of running the same script.

  • Perfectionism is exhausting. We’ll get curious about where the pressure comes from and practice letting some things be just okay. Honestly, the world doesn’t end.

  • You’re everyone’s rock, planner and fixer, and you’re so over it. Here, you get to set it down. No performing, no holding it together. Just you.

Whoever you need me to be that day.

HOW I SHOW UP

Some days you need me to lead. Some days you just need someone in your corner. Some sessions are about your weekend, some are about the hardest thing that ever happened to you. Totally normal. Your needs change, so my approach does too.

DIRECT - No fifty minutes of nodding. I'll tell you what I'm actually noticing.

PRACTICAL - CBT is my foundation. You leave with tools, not just insights.

HUMAN - I'm a real person. You'll be able to tell, I promise.
