About Lana
I started my career in HR at a large investment bank in NYC, working closely with individuals navigating high-pressure, fast-paced environments. While I wore many hats, what I found most meaningful was supporting people one-on-one—helping them grow, move through challenges, and find clarity in their lives
Over time, I noticed a pattern: most people weren’t struggling with their actual job responsibilities. The real challenges stemmed from emotional and psychological dynamics—stress, difficult relationships, burnout, or feeling stuck—both at work and at home. That insight led me to pursue a master’s in mental health counseling, driven by a belief that professional and personal fulfillment begins with self-awareness and the ability to manage emotions in high-pressure moments.
Today, I work with professionals across finance, law, healthcare, tech, and academia—industries where the bar is high and the emotional demands often go unspoken. I help my clients navigate these pressures with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of personal well-being.
My Approach
When life feels overwhelming, the most powerful thing you can do is turn inward with curiosity. When we take the time to explore our thought patterns and emotional triggers, we begin to understand what’s truly driving our stress, anxiety, or sense of misalignment.
Through a blend of insight-oriented therapy and practical strategies—including cognitive-behavioral tools and emotionally attuned reflection—I help clients make sense of what they’re experiencing and build the skills to move through it with greater clarity, calm, and self-trust.
I work with individuals who are feeling stretched thin—whether due to anxiety, emotional fatigue, relationship challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from themselves. Therapy offers a space to make meaning of your experiences, reconnect with your values, and find steadiness in the midst of uncertainty.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical—supporting you in becoming more grounded, emotionally aware, and aligned with what matters most to you.
