Dating + Relationship + Anxiety therapy for

Women on the Upper East Side

Virtual holistic therapy for All of New York & Florida

You don’t have to do it alone…

Life in New York City can feel overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally exhausting…especially when you’re trying to navigate it all while balancing it all on the Upper East Side. Whether you’re single, dating, or in a relationship that feels stuck or uncertain, you may be craving support that feels warm, grounding, and genuinely helpful.

My practice is rooted in the Upper East Side community, and although sessions are held online, the women I work with often live, work, or spend their daily lives right here in the neighborhood. You get the depth and personal feel of a local therapist, with the flexibility and comfort of virtual therapy. I provide Dating therapy for single women and Relationship therapy for women in committed relationships, as well as Anxiety therapy for all women on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, NYC

Many women I work with also live or work nearby in Murray Hill and other NYC neighborhoods, and benefit from the same virtual dating, relationship, and anxiety therapy support.

Whether you’ve been dating for years and feel discouraged, or you’re in a relationship but questioning patterns that keep repeating. Or maybe anxiety has started to take over your thoughts, your emotional reactions, or your sense of self-worth…You deserve to feel calm, confident, and secure both in yourself and in love.

Many of the women I support on the Upper East Side are:

  • Overwhelmed by the dating scene

  • Burnt out from attracting emotionally unavailable partners

  • Caught in anxious attachment cycles

  • Feeling unseen or unappreciated in their relationships

  • Struggling with trusting themselves, holding and setting boundaries, knowing their self-worth, or communicating clearly

  • Tired of overthinking, over-functioning, over-working, or people-pleasing

  • Feeling disconnected from themselves and their sense of purpose

  • Unsure how to break long-standing patterns

  • Craving a healthy, secure, fulfilling relationship

  • Ready to feel calmer, clearer, and more confident

Therapy is the space where you can slow down, explore what’s been getting in the way, and learn how to show up differently, without abandoning yourself.

Hey, I’m Rebecca!

A smiling woman with medium-length dark hair, wearing a black top and a blue blazer, standing in front of a brick wall with warm hanging lights, in an indoor setting.

I specialize in helping anxious Millennial and Gen Z women break toxic dating cycles + attract emotionally secure + attached love.

I am a Dating + Relationship + Anxiety therapist serving women on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and throughout New York. I grew up on Disney movies, rom-coms, and fairy tales, which made me believe love was supposed to be simple. But like many women, I learned the hard way that dating…especially in NYC, can feel overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally draining.

For over a decade, I’ve helped women break toxic patterns, understand their attachment styles, heal their nervous systems, and build relationships that truly feel good. I strive to offer a therapeutic approach that is integrative, warm, authentic, and validating, while also guiding clients to foster meaningful change and growth.
