Anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders and transitioning to adulthood are specialties.

Trauma is something that can affect any person at anytime. It often leaves a person feeling lost on how to understand their trauma and best deal with it. Trauma informed therapy can include some very heavy topics, but therapy is so much more than just a place to be sad, it’s a place to better understand oneself and grow as a person. I prioritize creating an environment of trust, laughter, self-discovery and learning; I am not a therapist who will sit in a chair and nod my head for an hour. I strive to make my clients feel comfortable and at ease. If that means sitting on the floor for an hour while we speak, then the floor it is!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City. I have been practicing for over 30 years. I work in an insight oriented and supportive therapeutic environment concentrating on ego functioning and interpersonal relationships. I deal with issues of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, mood regulation and the management of emotions and conflict. My therapeutic goal is to help each patient to develop more self-awareness and insight so that they can make better choices and achieve more personal satisfaction - while decreasing the anxiety and conflicts that limit their daily emotional experience and self-confidence.

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.

Sometimes, children, adolescents, or adults might need guidance in determining the educational direction that works best for them. They might be facing challenges with education, attention, and/or social skills without knowing why, or they might have been previously assessed for these kinds of challenges and desire an update on their progress and current needs.

I work with a wide range of age groups; young adults who are defining themselves, increasing autonomy, strengthening identities, often communicating through behavior; couples trying to improve communication styles or learning how to negotiate transitional periods in their relationships; older adults navigating life's challenges with resulting changes in roles. Clients of all ages may be dealing with relationship issues, poor confidence or 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.

In my practice, I address a wide range of needs and work with clients of all ages. I offer a personalized approach to therapy tailored to each client's individual needs. Together we can create insight into the events and transitions that have contributed to current life experiences, creating real and lasting change for the future. In our work together, I provide a warm and compassionate approach to create a non-judgmental space for self-exploration. My approach ranges from unstructured therapy addressing issues that come up in the moment to CBT tailored to a specific issue.

As a therapist, I recognize that each person carries a unique story, and my passion lies in providing a non-judgmental space for individuals to share and heal.
