I use a practical approach to treat problems such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders that may keep us from what we desire.
Therapy is an experience that can benefit everyone. It allows us to take the time to look closely at ourselves. It can help us manage difficult life changes and improve our relationships. Everyone experiences stress and worry, and speaking with a psychologist who is nonjudgmental and objective can help us understand how to achieve our professional, personal, and relationship goals.

Specialties: anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, addictions, self-esteem, relationship difficulties.
Life presents us with challenges; everyone experiences a degree of distress or worry along the way. Psychotherapy provides a safe, supportive partnership in which you can begin to understand your experiences, identify areas you'd like to change, build on strengths, and ultimately make choices to create a greater sense of well-being. Many individuals I work with are intelligent, accomplished people who feel they could benefit from a deeper exploration of the questions they are encountering with respect to career, relationships or personal identity. Additionally, I have an interest in working on issues specific to artists and creative professionals.

These include anxiety, depression, stress management, identity issues, relationship difficulties, feeling “stuck” personally and/or professionally, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias (specific fears of objects or situations), anger management, and problems with sleep.
I offer video appointments for adults located anywhere in New York State. Whether you've done psychotherapy in the past or this is your first time looking, psychotherapy can be a rewarding experience. We might know what we'd like to change, and other times this might be less clear even though we want something different. Wherever you are on this continuum, I hope I can be of help to you in your search for change. Generally speaking, my style incorporates your talents, abilities, strengths, values, and creative interests - the elements that make you unique and that are not captured by a psychiatric diagnosis - in our work.

Using an innovative technique for only a few sessions, one client reported that her chronic insomnia decreased significantly.
What could you accomplish if you weren’t bogged down by self-doubt and worry? If you second-guessed yourself less? And believed in yourself more? My clients have discovered that when blocks to self-esteem are removed, so many things improve. Finances and productivity tend to increase while stress and relationship problems decrease. Release your BLOCKS of procrastination, confusion, avoidance, self sabotage, fear of failure and others, and go from STAGNANT TO SUCCESSFUL in surprisingly little time. As a psychotherapist and Certified Success Coach, I want to help you to succeed, right now!

I have training in both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, and my practice leans into values-driven Acceptance and Commitment therapy.

Sleep or Insomnia Therapists

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
