According to A. Maslow, you must first have your basic physiological needs met before you can reach self-actualization. If you are searching for support and guidance in making the necessary changes to improve your life (especially now), I am here for you. I mostly work with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders and/or addictions. Some of my clients only require a few sessions while others have been with me for several years. I have found that the therapeutic relationship is of utmost importance in the outcome of treatment. Trust and safety are key ingredients in reaching therapeutic goals.

Anxiety on its own can be extremely challenging. To make matters more difficult, it often also comes with sleep difficulties or depression, which can make daily life an exhausting and frustrating experience. The good news is that with the correct approach, it is usually possible to make significant progress in a short period of time. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, and related difficulties (including panic attacks, OCD, generalized anxiety, phobias, PTSD, and others). I have a particular specialty in the treatment of insomnia and sleep related disorders.

When excessive worries and stress arise, we often overthink each and every decision. It can begin to feel as if we are stuck in our lives. Relationships, work, sleep, and enjoyment are all negatively affected. With warmth and openness, I'll guide you as you gain insight into your interpersonal relationships, behaviors, and choices. I'll help you learn to trust your instincts and reduce self doubt so that decision making becomes easier. I encourage you to bring whatever struggles you may encounter, both big and small, past and present, to our sessions.

I work with individuals who struggle with Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, couples and families with relationship issues among other life stressors. I believe every person is unique and for this reason I offer a personalized approach. I am truly dedicated to providing and empathetic and non judgmental environment where your concerns are heard.

I believe therapy means making you feel deeply known and accepted. My approach centers on harnessing your unique strengths in building the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. I appreciate how some old habits you have picked up at an earlier point may no longer serve you now. I want you come away from our conversations feeling hopeful and inspired, and over time feel that intangible shift in your spirit telling you that you are feeling better. The process of understanding yourself with compassion and learning new ways of being in the world isn't always easy, but I'll be with you every step of the way.

Are you an artist/performer/musician/creative of any kind? Is your inner critic preventing you from feeling grounded and confident in your performance and creativity?

As a clinical psychologist, I am deeply committed to helping people improve their lives. I am dedicated to helping people resolve their personal problems and alleviate personal suffering.

There are many reasons why we seek therapy; and they differ in terms of how problems and circumstances influence our lives. I work with adults, teens, and couples seeking relief from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, poor self-assertion skills, identity issues, and life stressors (such as death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, career change). I also work with college students in NYC living away from family and support; young adults launching into adulthood in NYC; and helping couples find solutions to problems in an otherwise satisfying relationships. Out-of-network reimbursement options are available.

My clients are warm, competent and intelligent people pulled onto a healing path by distress in their personal lives or the world at large.

We will tap into resources, including humor, beauty and resilience, to access healing and joy. Therapy is approached as an adventure. It can be a sacred, creative journey where you can uncover choices you may not even be able to imagine now.

I work with a wide range of age groups: children who are communicating through behavior; young adults who are defining themselves, increasing autonomy and strengthening their individual identities; couples trying to improve their communication styles or learning how to negotiate transitional periods in their relationships; older adults navigating life's changes with resulting changes in roles. Clients of all ages are dealing with relationship issues, poor confidence and self-esteem, loss, depression, anxiety and addictive problems, seeking to understand the sources of their discomfort rather than continue trying to avoid or outrun their problems.

Are you having problems in your relationship? As a psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I am here to help. I can guide you through rebuilding trust, establishing clear communication channels, and restoring intimacy.

Couples therapy helps overcome these frustrations by using proven strategies to strengthen relationships. I use one of the most effective methods of couples counseling called Emotion Focused Couples Therapy (EFT).
