Therapy for Finance & Consulting Professionals
In the high-stakes world of New York finance and global consulting, the pressure to perform is relentless. Professionals in these fields face unique stressors: extreme volatility, rapid decision cycles, and the psychological weight of managing capital and client expectations. In my Manhattan practice, I help finance and consulting professionals move beyond survival mode to cultivate the emotional resilience and clarity required for elite performance.
The Financial Edge: Understanding Inner Dynamics
Unconscious factors shaped by earlier experiences influence every high-pressure decision. Leaders who understand their inner dynamics gain a decisive advantage. Together, we explore the psychological drivers behind your performance, helping you identify:
- Decision-Making Under Volatility: Maintaining cognitive clarity and emotional equilibrium during market fluctuations.
- Performance Anxiety & Perfectionism: Managing the inner critic that drives burnout despite external success.
- Blind Spot Identification: Recognizing unconscious patterns that impact leadership, risk assessment, and team trust.
- Sustainable Ambition: Balancing the drive for excellence with internal resources to prevent long-term depletion.

My approach is informed by experience at leading institutions, including Chase, CIBC World Markets, UBS/Credit Suisse, and Dow Jones Telerate. I understand the language, culture, and structural demands of finance. This allows us to move quickly into depth-oriented work, integrating your personal growth with professional excellence.
