"I have been working in the mental health profession for 13 years and I aim to help my clients move toward their fullest potential. I live by the phrase "Nothing changes if Nothing changes" so if you desire to break unhealthy dysfunctional roles in your life and want to understand how to communicate and live authentically, then you will find our work to be healing and restorative."

"I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents and young adults. In addition to individual therapy, I work with families, parents and couples. I have experience working with numerous emotional and behavioral issues and a great deal of experience working with schools, family systems and teaching parenting skills. I am trained in numerous evidenced-based treatment approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPT-A). I have experience in working with ADHD, oppositional behaviors, trauma, depression and anxiety."

"While New York City provides endless opportunities for people, it also presents a fast paced environment that can result in stress, frustration and low self esteem. Fear of failure, body image issues, financial/work problems and competition with others are stressors that I continually deal with in my practice. Common statements that I hear are: "My parents expect so much from me and don't understand what I'm going through," "It's difficult to focus on relationships because of work deadlines," "Although money & sex are supposed to be pleasurable, they are causing difficulty in my relationships.""

"I am a dedicated, perceptive and highly competent clinician with 27 years postgraduate experience. Certified in Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, I also hold multiple certifications in addictions treatment and have taught as well as supervised in the areas of addiction, HIV/AIDS and personality disorders. I have worked intensively and extensively with those struggling with (and/or recovering from) all forms of addictive disorders: alcohol/drugs, sexual compulsivity, eating disorders, gambling. In addition, I am strongly experienced in and sensitive to issues of grief, trauma, identity, illness and sexuality and work well with those whose personality styles impede their attempts towards intimacy with others."

"I am a NYS licensed Clinical Psychologist with considerable expertise in psychological, and neuropsychological assessment of children, adolescents, and adults, as well as individual, group, couples, and family therapy ranging across various therapeutic modalities. I received my PhD In Clinical Psychology from Columbia University. I utilize an integrative style of treatment. This means that strategies and techniques from various, time-tested, evidence-based therapies are combined to create individualized treatment in a collaborative, purposeful, and goal-directed manner. This allows for treatment to be tailored to the needs of each individual client."

"People come to therapy for a variety of reasons: struggles with anxiety or depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, loss, life changes and others. Feeling "stuck" is a common and often painful experience. I can help you uncover patterns in thinking, behaving and relating that have become problematic. Therapy can be challenging but with great potential gains. The result is a deepened self-awareness and the capacity to make choices consistent with your needs and goals. You can build satisfying relationships, end self-defeating behaviors and better manage life's inevitable stressors."

"Most of us at some point in our lives go through difficult times. You may be feeling depressed or anxious; maybe you're having problems in your relationship, or with your family and friends; or perhaps you just feel stagnant or blocked in the pursuit of your goals. Having an attentive and supportive therapist to help you make sense of your experience and discover your unique strengths can make all the difference in moving past these obstacles."

"I work with individuals and couples who are seeking to gain a better understanding of themselves in order to lead happier, more productive and more stable lives. I work well with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and mood disorders as well as those dealing with relationship issues who are having difficulty managing the everyday stressors of their lives, which impede on their capacity for productivity and satisfaction. While psychotherapy and psychoanalysis allow individuals to more deeply explore their emotions, behaviors, and relationships, I also integrate skills training, coaching, and coping strategies that allow one to function more effectively in interpersonal, professional, and creative situations."

"When you feel the world around you is fragile, as many people do now, it is important to feel grounded in your own skin and relationships. I work with individuals and couples hoping to develop a new perspective or take concrete steps to manage daily stressors and uncomfortable emotions. We will explore what's keeping you up at night or weighing you down by day, whether it's external events, self-sabotaging behavior, or negative thoughts. I provide a space where you can be vulnerable while sorting through issues from your past and present that are getting in your way."

"Sometimes you know exactly what the problem might be, and other times it feels more confusing and elusive. Psychotherapy is a wonderful way to facilitate and enact positive change into your life. My predominant goal is to make you feel safe and supported, so that you can explore and connect your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a productive manner. I believe that past experiences and relationships have a profound impact on our present emotional health and work to explore those experiences using a variety of effective treatment approaches tailored to the individual or couple."

"My first goal with patients is to make them feel safe, less shameful, and to build trust. I approach patients from a genuine, empathetic stance, and I convey that we are partners in the healing process. I listen, engage and give insight. Wiith great care, I develop individualized treatment plans that are tailored to my patients needs; using psychodynamic theories, cognitive behavioral techniques, nutrition recommendations and higher consciousness, metaphysical and spiritual practices. I maintain a holistic private practice in both New York City and Westport, Connecticut."

I am passionate about helping others explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, open, and nonjudgmental environment. I work with clients struggling with unresolved childhood issues, trauma or loss, family and relationship conflicts, coping with psychiatric symptoms, life's unexpected events, and more."

In a safe, non-judgmental environment, we will identify your goals and work towards positive change."

"A sense of emotional and psychological safety is necessary for living a productive, fulfilling life. Uncomfortable or conflicting feelings can lessen our quality of life. For many people, it can be difficult to share these emotions openly with family and friends. This can contribute to emotional distress, isolation, and detachment from a thriving life. Therapeutic support can help gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and navigate the many complex facets of interpersonal relationships. As a practicing psychotherapist and a trained group practitioner for more than 20 years. I can help create a safe and supportive environment for these important conversations."

"My background as an attorney provides me with a unique and pragmatic approach to therapy. I specialize in helping high performing professionals deal with the pressure and sacrifice of their daily lives. Employment or relationship obstacles, transitioning to a new chapter in your life, or even questions about your identity can sometimes result in stress, anxiety, or depression. I have guided many of my patients through these and numerous other difficulties, and I am ready to help you develop solutions tailored to your specific needs."

"I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, interpersonal dissatisfaction, and mood instability, who feel uncertain about the course their life may be taking. I work with trauma and believe it comes in many different guises, whether it's an acute incident of assault or a long and painful feeling of being misunderstood by one's primary caretaker (i.e. parent or partner). Talk therapy serves to help people alleviate all kinds of suffering as well as developing the capacities for new experience."

"People often begin therapy with conflicted feelings. For some people, therapy may immediately offer an inviting space to share thoughts and feelings that they might not feel safe to share in other relationships. Others may view therapy as a sign of personal failure in not being able to solve life problems on one's own. I have worked with clients at both ends of this spectrum, including the most reluctant of beginners. I believe that therapy can serve as another avenue to develop more self awareness and break free of destructive cycles."
