Psychotherapy for NYC’s High Performers
Manhattan’s high-performing environments demand exceptional psychological endurance, often at a significant emotional cost. I work with executives, entrepreneurs, and finance professionals to navigate these pressures, providing a sophisticated space to address burnout and restore the internal resources necessary for sustainable leadership.
The Cost of High Performance
Professional success can mask internal strain. High-achieving individuals often seek support for challenges that are overlooked in corporate settings:
- Burnout & Chronic Stress: Moving beyond exhaustion toward emotional and physical renewal.
- Imposter Syndrome: The persistent fear of being "exposed" despite clear professional competence.
- Maladaptive Perfectionism: When striving for excellence triggers self-doubt and anxiety.
- Interpersonal Friction: Navigating relationship struggles and leadership dynamics under pressure.
- Identity & Purpose: Reassessing meaning when professional success alone no longer fulfills.
Expertise from Both Sides of the Desk
Before becoming a therapist, I worked extensively in the corporate world—including roles at Chase, CIBC World Markets, Credit Suisse/UBS, and Dow Jones—and developed the Critical Thinking Program for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This firsthand experience allows me to offer therapy that is clinically deep, yet grounded in real-world corporate insight.
A Reflection on Professional Identity
"Leadership challenges are not just about managing others, but managing one’s own internal world amidst high-stakes demands."
