Professional statement

Dr. Aimee works with women, teens, and families during seasons of overwhelm, disconnection, and emotional pain. Her practice is focused on women who feel anxious, depleted, or stuck in long-standing patterns of stress, as well as depressed teens and their caregivers who need a more structured and supportive path toward healing. She creates a therapy space that feels warm, steady, and deeply attuned, a place where clients can show up as they are and begin making sense of what feels heavy, hard, or out of reach.

Her work with women is grounded in a polyvagal-informed approach, helping clients better understand their nervous system responses and move out of patterns of overwhelm and emotional reactivity. Therapy is collaborative, practical, and focused on meaningful change, with an emphasis on building regulation, self-awareness, and a greater sense of safety within oneself and in relationships. Her approach is also structured and time-limited, and for clients who are ready to actively engage in the work, treatment goals are often achieved within approximately 16 sessions.

Dr. Aimee also provides Attachment-Based Family Therapy, a structured 12-week treatment for depressed adolescents and their caregivers. This model helps families repair disconnection, strengthen trust, and improve communication in ways that support lasting emotional healing. It offers a clear and supportive framework for families who want more than just symptom relief and are ready to build a stronger foundation for connection at home.

Dr. Aimee is a licensed psychologist who brings both clinical depth and genuine warmth to her work. Her style is thoughtful, relational, and grounded, blending evidence-based care with a deep respect for each client’s story and capacity for change. She offers virtual sessions for clients throughout New York, New Jersey, Florida, Virginia, and Washington, DC, and welcomes those looking for therapy that feels connected, intentional, and rooted in meaningful healing.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you are used to being the one who keeps everything going while quietly carrying so much inside. My hope is that our work together feels like a place where you can breathe a little deeper. A place where you feel supported, understood, and able to show up as you are. I want therapy to feel warm and steady, but also purposeful, a space where meaningful change can happen.

Whether you are coming in as a woman feeling anxious, depleted, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel sustainable, or as a parent trying to support a struggling teen while feeling worried, lost, or disconnected, you are welcome here. I see therapy as a collaborative process, and the work tends to be most successful when clients are ready to engage honestly, reflect deeply, and take an active role in the process. My hope is that our work together helps you feel more grounded, more clear, and more connected to yourself and the people you love.
