Studies consistently show that the most important part of effective therapy is a strong relationship between therapist and client. When you come to see me, establishing a supportive bond where you feel safe enough to be yourself and to take risks is my first priority. Together we will explore how different parts of you interact with one another, noticing and appreciating your resiliency, as well as the areas of pain and hurt. We will work together to create more internal harmony, improving relationships with others by starting with your relationship with yourself.

My approach is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, and gender/identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe and regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, and learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation and grounding.

Hello and welcome to my profile.
By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating.
I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect.
Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

My intimacy and relationship groups are for people who have difficulty finding fulfilling relationships, and are unhappy being a "serial monogamist". The group is also for those who are currently in relationships, but have difficulty maintaining trust and intimacy, and feel disconnected from deep love. Additionally, some members have never been in an intimate relationship, but want to be. Group participants work in the "here and now" using relational aspects occurring within the present to discover their own defense mechanisms and false narratives. Within a few sessions, participants will begin to see how their defenses influence communication outcomes and emotional responses.

I work with individuals, couples, and groups. I help people identify and eliminate beliefs and perspectives that prevent them from living with love, confidence, and enthusiasm. Anxiety is reduced by identifying causes and applying mindful, body-present skills. Depression is lifted through expression and removing draining blocks that prevent action. Relationships are improved by focusing on communication and eliminating blame, resentment, and individual defenses that block deep intimacy. The more we know about ourselves, the more we're able to let go of old patterns and make decisions that lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life.
Do you struggle in your interpersonal relationships? Are you looking for deeper relationships? Is anxiety stopping you from having the life that you want? Are you looking to improve your communications skills? Do you have difficulty getting along in the workplace? Do you have trouble saying no? This is a dynamic, interactive group that focuses on interpersonal growth. The ability to speak clearly and directly with others leads to enhanced self-esteem. Group can act as a support network and sounding board and regularly talking and listening to others helps to put your own problems in perspective.

You're on your way in your career, you're single, you want a relationship and you're frustrated with the difficulties of finding a partner. You find yourself spending more time at work than braving the NYC dating scene or dating apps while wondering what you might be contributing to the problem. Part of you is preoccupied with a previous relationship and another part of you is just sick of the dating life. Beleaguered by online dating burnout, you tell yourself your career is enough! Yet a part of you can't delete all the apps on your phone, can't help wondering. You feel overwhelmed with anxiety when you think about all this.
