Hello. Are you struggling with a difficult problem? I would like to help. You will receive exceptional, personalized treatment backed by over 20 years of success. I know your situation is unique. That is why our work together will be tailored to your needs. You can overcome your problem. Let's start the recovery/healing process. Contact me.

My approach is interactive, empathic, and responsive to each client's needs and difficulties. I see therapy at its best as an authentic encounter between two people, one of whom is a skilled listener who can help the other understand conflicts, alleviate pain, find meaning in his/her unique story, and discover solutions to current problems. I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples, and with late adolescents and young adults.

I work from a strengths-based perspective with the belief that we all possess unique skills and abilities that can help us transcend painful circumstances, leading us to a recognition of the richness and meaning that is possible in our lives. I have worked extensively with individuals (from college age to older adulthood) and couples dealing with mental health issues such as depression; anxiety; trauma; problems in relationships; substance abuse; and bipolar disorder. I formerly specialized in psychotherapy with older adults at UCLA Health in LA for almost 10 years before moving to NYC in 2023. Now licensed in NY, NJ, CA, and MA.

"I have commanded foreign words to explicate the native in me, all the while obfuscating what was, but was not, could not be, spoken. And what of words? I have spoken in multitudes and platitudes. I have harbored thoughts and feelings with no hope of setting them off to sail in these words. All words but my own. There are, and always will be, two ways to tell my stories. I shall strive to choose dis-cordingly. There once was word where my innards stood. First there was word. After word there was silence. ..."

I am a GW trained clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I provide individual psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and parent-child consultations. My solution-focused approach takes the whole person into account, emphasizing psychological barriers, personal history, ambitions and desires. If you struggle with inhibitions, depression, anxiety, or intimacy; If you feel unable to move forward in work or love; If you cannot break free of self-defeating behaviors or distracting preoccupations, therapy is likely to help you.

When life gets hard, I believe the bravest, most effective thing we can do is face our own emotions and allow ourselves to receive support. If you are feeling lost, unfulfilled or overwhelmed, you can find relief. Unresolved shame can keep us stuck in fear and frozen in old patterns. Within the container of our therapeutic relationship, we can integrate pain from the past and access connection in the present. Healing can happen in a safe, nonjudgemental interpersonal space where we can replace confusion and self-blame with understanding and compassion.

I am a clinical psychologist (licensed in NY, NJ, and PA) who utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) framework to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors contributing toward psychological struggles in their lives. I help clients gain more awareness of their internal experiences, such as thought and emotional patterns, so they can accept, change, and ease their experienced pain. Additionally, I help individuals explore their behaviors and relationships, so they can create life changes in line with their short/long term goals/values.

In my experience, some people come to therapy for specific symptoms, but many people come to treatment because of a pervasive feeling that something is not right or not working. They may feel they are not living the life they want, or can’t enjoy the life they have, or that they have lost touch with a part of themselves. They may have unfinished business from their childhood, or feel stuck continually repeating the same patterns in their relationships.

I collaborate with my clients to help them find a better understanding of themselves. The process may include exploring how they have arrived at where they find themselves in life; how patterns in their relationships with the important people in their lives have developed and are sustained; how emotions and emotion-laden expectations may limit possibilities; how the therapeutic relationship can provide support, insight, improve coping skills and relationships with others, expand opportunities, improve performance, and increase satisfaction.

I see adults experiencing anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. I listen deeply. I help adults become more curious about their thoughts and feelings and question long-held assumptions that no longer apply. I help them tap into their bodies' wisdom. We work on removing roadblocks to free up energy in the essential areas of love, work and play. I help children experiencing difficulty at home, in school, and with peers. Through play and talk, I help them resume the important tasks of childhood. I have a specialty niche in infants and young children. Attachment issues, trauma, divorce and loss are additional areas of expertise.

I believe that each person has a unique self that must respected, recognized and understood. In order to find the right therapist I feel that there has to be a sense of connection and trust that develops over time. I try to help people understand how connections to their past and their fear of the future and of change keeps them trapped in cycles of behavior amd relationships that hinder their chances for a more fulfilling life and following their goals and dreams. I can work with anyone who attempts this experience of working together and exploring their life issues.

Suffering is an integral part of life, the same way manure is an integral part of the farmer's life. As a wise farmer learns to use manure as a fertilizer, I can assist you in understanding and using your suffering wisely, and learning to profit from it. I am silent when need be, yet I am also very willing to respond to your questions and to dialogue with you in a very direct way when necessary.

Therapy is about both addressing specific issues which may be getting in our way as well as cultivating a healthy curiosity about ourselves, our patterns, and our experiences. Life is wrought with transitions which can catch us off-guard, and it is common to feel unsure as to whether we are on the right path. Thankfully, these can be successfully navigated collaboratively and discreetly through a relationship with a trusted professional. Gaining an understanding of ourselves through identifying our blind spots is the first step in establishing a life that is both purposeful and fulfilling.

I am a highly trained clinical psychologist working with adults of all ages, 18 years and above, with a wide diversity of backgrounds. I consider each person unique, with his/her own values, characteristics, and beliefs, and will work with you to determine the issues and goals most important to you. Sensitive to the impact that ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity can have on one's life, I possess significant experience helping people with relationship difficulties, traumatic experience, depression, anxiety, and substance misuse. I am also experienced in the treatment of chronic mental illness.

I work with adults, young adults and teens utilizing a range of modalities including relational psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). My approach is to create a calm and relaxed collaborative environment. I have a wide range of experience, including with diverse client populations and specialize in working with clients who have chronic illnesses, are experiencing life transitions, and are struggling with anxiety and depression.

I am a licensed psychologist with a background in neuropsychology (brain-behavior relationships). I see children and adults for comprehensive neuropsychological and psycho-educational evaluations. My particular interest is in evaluating and treating the cognitive, emotional and behavioral effects of Learning Disorders, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Brain Injury, or similar issues. I also work with adults in psychotherapy to address cognitive issues related to their diagnosis as well as addressing issues with attention and concentration, memory, organization, abstract thinking and problem solving.

Are you feeling frustrated and stuck? Do you sense that you can do better? Are familiar coping responses no longer serving you as well as they used to? With over 15+ years of experience, I provide virtual counseling for adults that is secure and completely confidential. My specialty is in developmental trauma, which can leave an indelible impact on our adult functioning, relationships and bodies. I am particularly interested in studying and treating trauma's impact on men’s sexual development, such as unwanted sexual urges, sexual-identity confusion, addictions and fetishes. These issues require a value-neutral and nuanced approach.

I am a clinical psychologist and have extensive experience working in clinic and hospital settings, as well as in private practice. I am affiliated with Columbia University Medical Center where I completed my training and continue to work and supervise. I offer a safe and secure place where you can work through your problems and address the issues that undermine your ability to move forward in life. Depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulty with relationships, both personal and professional. I have an extensive referral network and am able to refer patients for specialized treatment of issues that arise, e.g., psychopharmacology, substance abuse, chronic pain.
