You’re looking for someone who is integrative and evidence-based, but who can also think outside the box. You really think about life and your place in it, and sometimes anxiety, distraction, lethargy, or sadness get the best of you. Right now may be a tough moment, or it may just feel like things could be better, and you’re ready to explore how.

I believe effective treatment is a collaborative process. For over a decade, I have been helping individuals with a wide range of emotional difficulties, including anxiety disorders and depressive disorders as well as work and relationship problems, low self-esteem and low self-confidence. Individuals who come for help may not fully understand the nature of their difficulties, only that something is not quite right. Through a careful and thorough evaluation, we will work jointly to clarify your present concerns and determine a treatment modality to best address them, which may include psychotherapy and/or medications.

Emotional pain can be invisible and debilitating, and hold us back from achieving happiness. Our experiences can color the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Taking a look at ourselves and discovering patterns can help us make different choices and find a path to happiness.

With offices downtown, my patients often work in the corporate world, with the many stressors corporate work entails, including Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, job loss, substances and relationship stressors.
I am an Ivy League Trained Psychiatrist with 20 years experience in Psychotherapy and Medication Management. My approach is positive, empowering and collaborative. I find that medications are often overused and am devoted to not recommending medications unless there is evidence they will help. Often it is more helpful to reconsider your outlook, improve your coping strategies and alter your behaviors. Rest assured that most of the problems in our field are treatable so there is ample reason to feel optimistic that help is on the way.

Couples Counseling Psychiatrists

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
