"I help others manage and resolve difficulties of the heart - love, loss, and work during significant life changes/transitions; e.g., career/job change, death/illness in family, divorce, addiction/recovery, etc. I provide high-quality professional assessment and counseling/psychotherapy to people who have not accessed or have had prior unsatisfactory experiences with psychotherapy. I also do "second opinions" for anyone experiencing therapy stalemate and/or major change. During change, the terrain is stormy, bumpy, skiddy and deep. Many feel angry--a disguise to the depth of fear(s). Anxiety ensues and one doubts whether the "new" is possible."

"There are some hardships in life that cannot be easily forgotten. These experiences influence how we view ourselves and navigate relationships with others. There is a natural tendency to re-enact the woes because of it's familiarity. The therapeutic alliance will help us learn from the past, become more aware from the present, and establish a safe outlook for the future. "

"Change is possible. You can feel happier and more self confident! Chances are that you feel anxious or depressed because of a relationship in conflict, be it your boss, partner or child. Or maybe you feel lonely and anxious because you do not know how to make satisfying relationships. Together we can make the changes happen that you want."

"I understand and honor the courage needed to take the first step towards change in your life. Navigating the human condition can often be immensely painful and this is why I believe so strongly in compassionate and supportive therapeutic engagement.  The beauty and growth in life that we are all seeking is often discovered amidst pain and discomfort. My training and experience allow me to comprehend the human experience, which can include trauma, life stressors, and circumstances from the past and/or present that leave people feeling stuck and confused. I work with individuals and couples. "

"Do you ever feel like you aren’t living up to your full potential? Do you struggle with life transitions and relationships? Do you find yourself held back by negative emotions? These issues are common, yet painful and often difficult to navigate. I would like to support you on your mental health journey, and help you reach a place of greater stability and happiness. "

"I have developed knowledge on various types of therapy and can understand the daily stresses of living in a hectic and demanding Manhattan lifestyle.

I also internationally train other professionals in mental health fields and collaborative, relationally-oriented practices and improvisation."

"Life is precious and wonderful, but sometimes we can't notice. Relationship impasses, obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that sometimes accompany them, depression, the craziness of stressful situations-I can help you navigate these to fuller life. I support clients in recovery, whether the addiction is to a substance or to porn. I work with couples, helping them forge firmer bonds at the beginning of relationships or repair bonds that have attenuated with time or from our capacity for inflicting injuries, even on those we love. Sometimes these wounds affect families; when that happens I work to help families heal."

"Do you sometimes feel as if life is so complicated that you can't sort out your feelings and decide what you want or need? Do you sometimes feel stuck and unable to move forward? Or that your relationships are so challenging that you just want to give up? I can help you understand what you are feeling and where your feelings are coming from so that you can develop strategies to cope with the issues you are facing."

"I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified psychoanalyst and certified group psychotherapist practicing in New York for over twenty years. My style is interactive and direct. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, addiction/compulsive disorders, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties."

"As a therapist, I aim to create a safe emotional space where you will feel increasingly comfortable expressing your feelings and thoughts. I imagine therapy as a journey, a process of transformation from a place of suffering to a place of healing and see my role as that of a fellow traveler and a guide who listens to your experience and helps you create your own story. Being able to find words to match your experience and have someone witness that moment is a deeply freeing process, that leads to symptom relief, greater self-awareness and a more meaningful life."

"People are searching to connect with themselves and others in ways that often feel unreachable. These difficulties can get expressed through repetitive, dissatisfying attachments and frustrating patterns of connectedness. Initimacy while longed for, seems illusive. In my 30 years of working with addictive and attachment related issues, I have come to understand how one's sense of aloneness and isolation can prevent a feeling of hopefulness and possibility. It is my belief that supportive, interactive and relational psychotherapy and/or psychoanalysis can offer profound change and relief in helping one manage their deepest conflicts and achieve greater fulfillment."
