"I know it's difficult to seek help, and I recognize how much strength it takes when you reach out. I see that in itself as the first step to feeling better. If you feel sad, anxious, are in transition, lack stability, can't control your thoughts, or are plagued by bad memories/worries- you may feel things can't get better, but they can. I have successfully helped people develop better self esteem, gain control of anxiety & worries, and, simply, feel happier. I am a therapist because I enjoy helping people understand their experiences and, ultimately, have more days that make them laugh & smile."

"I treat a broad array of diagnostic categories that is centered on treating the whole person. Areas of expertise include individual and couples therapy, parent/child, challenges from physical illness, coworker relationships and conflict resolution. Treatment areas include anxiety, depression, adjustment and relationship issues. I focus on behaviors, thoughts, feelings and ways of interacting that individuals repeat in spite of a wish to behave differently. My practice is devoted to developing, in a confidential setting, the tools needed to lead a rewarding life. I have over 25 years' experience treating individuals and couples. I offer both traditional psychotherapy and executive coaching for Fortune 500 companies."

"Most of the mental suffering we endure (if not due to present grief and loss) arises either from our fervent attempts to resolve uncomprehended emotional conflicts, or because we never learned to endure and adapt our unruly interior lives to the world around us. I help individuals to feel better by attending to what they feel in the moment, as a way of understanding how they have come to be themselves -- and how who they are is at odds with what they want to be and feel. I am trained both in "classical" psychoanalysis and in Columbia's pioneering Program in Narrative Medicine."

"With more than 25 years of experience, I provide a safe, confidential environment where people can explore their inner life leading to better choices less distress, and a greater ability to reach their potential. As a psychotherapist with a psychodynamic psychoanalytic frame of reference, I have worked successfully with people toward a deeper understanding of their motives and behavior, and an awareness of the meanings behind current difficulties."

"In therapy the most profound changes occur in the context of the relationship between the patient and a skilled and compassionate therapist. I can help you figure out how and where you get stuck and how you can remove the obstacles to living to your fullest life. Together we will uncover your authentic self and your passions. We look at ways in which you distort who you are in order to please others including the important figures from your past and present. Helping people to connect and improve their relationships, both personal and professional, is often an integral part of the therapy."

"I believe in a holistic and mindful approach, working actively with my clients to understand the unique relationship between mind and body, as well as relationships with others.

Typical areas of my work include life transitions within familial and/or romantic/marital relationships, professional career changes, and anxiety, depression, and fear of change. I help clients overcome emotional blockages and gain a sense of confidence in themselves and their ability to make changes in their lives."

"I am warm, open, and informal. People feel safe and comfortable enough to trust me with their secrets, fears, and intimacies. I am aware that by the time you call a therapist, you want some relief! So, I work from the "Top Down" -- giving stress-relief, relaxation, new perspectives, and ways to help you to feel better quickly --as well as from the "Bottom Up", so you understand why you are the way you are, and how you might change what you want to..."

"I aspire to create a space that is welcoming, safe and comfortable. My style is non-judgmental, empathic and introspective. My goal is to help you learn about yourself and how you relate to others so that you can make positive improvements that are lasting. Therapy can be challenging; but my belief is that through this meaningful work you will develop a deeper sense of self and awareness of strengths that may have gone undiscovered to this point. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change."

"It's hard to find the right therapist. Finding a good fit is very important, however, going through profiles, you may not be entirely sure what you're looking for. I recognize how difficult the first step can be and I see your willingness to stick your neck out as gutsy as well as a sign of strength and resilience for which we will build upon. Good therapy reaffirms life,helps you tap into joy & find meaning and pleasure in life, it improves your relationships, and strengthens your self esteem."

"If you want to solve your personal problems, control your headaches, or other symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression, deal more effectively with your loved ones, friends and coworkers, then I would like to help. If you are self-motivated, sensitive, desire to improve yourself,and value personal responsibility, then I believe you are well suited to the type of help provide. If you not interested in clever explanations that only allow you to blame others, and do not lead you to a happier, more enlightened and effective life, then we are already on the same wavelength."

"I believe that the only way therapy works is if a good partnership is formed between client and therapist. Goals need to be set together. I believe there needs to be a practical approach to solving the immediate problem as well as an understanding from where the problem stems. I also feel it's important for the therapist to be available to the client whenever possible.
