Teletherapy for 10021

You are the greatest determinant of your well-being. It takes courage and strength to address issues that are troubling. In practice for over 30 years with advanced training in psychotherapy, I am also on the faculty of Columbia University and New York University Schools of Social Work. My experience has given me great insight into working with a diverse group of individuals and couples who bring a variety of personal and interpersonal problems at varying stages of their lives. I place great value in developing caring and collaborative relationships with my patients. Together we work towards self understanding and improvement.

I bring almost 40 years of experience, substantial training, and compassion to my work. My work helps people find their authentic voice. I focus on developing a greater sense of awareness and presence. I believe that we all want to be understood and accepted at a deep level. My therapy process values the therapeutic relationship, the search for wholeness and authenticity and is a collaborative interactive experience. I create a safe, accepting and caring environment that I hope is also challenging and enlivening to my clients.

Taking the first step towards change is sometimes a challenge... I will work with you to understand and resolve the stresses in your life and set out a path for reaching your goals and expectations. We can work through your personal struggles which may include loss, relationship struggles, parenting or work issues. My style of helping is interpersonal. I will help you sort out your thoughts and feelings, work through personal obstacles, identify self destructive patterns of behavior, and help you develop the skills to help yourself. I am trained as a couple and family therapist. I am an EMDR Certified provider. Licensed: NY, CT, Fla

The upheaval of the past few years has led to an awakening regarding the importance of nurturing our mental health. Many people are facing increased anxiety, depression, isolation, and uncertainty in light of today’s life challenges and changes. Some are recognizing a feeling of loss and grief that transcends the traditional definition. Others are struggling to be seen, heard, and affirmed. These experiences can be related to relationships, family, work/career, school, racial trauma, or physical health.

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.

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.
