"Congratulations on taking a vital step in reaching out and searching for therapeutic relationship. If you are feeling anxious, unhappy, stuck, confused, struggling with complications in your relationships, or challenged by other problems interrupting your daily life, I would be honored to assist you in this process. As each human being and relationship is unique and special, I work with my clients according to their individual needs, qualities and struggles in a humanistic and interactive way. Working with my clients, I combine approaches that are rooted in gestalt, psychodynamic, mindfulness orientation and cognitive- behavioral theories."

"The core of my work is empathic relating which is both scientifically grounded, and spiritually infused. I see therapy as a process of development that frequently starts with a focus on a specific problem such as depression, anxiety or relationship difficulties, and then evolves into an unfolding of personal development. I have had extensive training and experience in individual therapy, couples therapy, and supervision of therapists. My actual work consists of relating in a down to earth way to help you deal with the problems that you are currently facing."

"There are many things in life that can prevent us from moving forward and reaching our potential.

I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the most important element in this process. I look at each client as someone with unique needs and I will utilize whatever approach will be most effective and in your best interest."

As a therapist specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and eating disorders, I provide a safe space to identify what you'd like your life to look like, and explore what's keeping you "stuck"."

"Living in New York, one's level of stress can feel astronomical as soon as you step foot on the first subway stair.

"In facing the challenges of today's world, people often find themselves having to deal with a number of fears, insecurities and anxieties in life. When individuals can change those conditions that have contributed to their distress, conflicts manifesting themselves through all kinds of assorted physical, emotional and spiritual ailments, they oftentimes will. But many times, they simply do not. Why keep repeating the same harmful patterns of living rather than altering the way one habitually experiences and deals with such problems? Why stay stuck? Maybe it is time for a personal transformation that can take place through the process of psychotherapy."
