Do you have anxiety and depression? Perhaps you're experiencing severe stress from the changes going on in your life, and you're having difficulty adjusting. If this is you, then I can help. As a practitioner for 15+ years, I have expertise in the treatment of Depression, Trauma, Grief/Loss, and Generalized Anxiety Disorders to help you work through your challenges, maximize your strengths, and embrace change in your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, practicing in New York City for over 30 years. I work with adults and adolescents, often focusing on transitional life issues, including (but not limited to) those having to do with dating and intimate relationships, graduation, marriage, divorce, birth of a child, and career choices/changes. Inevitably the work expands to include an exploration of beliefs and self-protective ways of being that are no longer needed and get in the way of a whole-hearted appreciation of one's unique strengths, one's entitlement to make active choices and to pursue one's most authentic goals.

Managing stress, anxiety, and depression can be hard. That's ok! Do you want to learn more about yourself, how to cope in a healthy way, and have better communication? I understand and I can help. In my practice, I respect the unique experience of each individual, couple, or family. I see the particular difficulties that each faces. I listen and interact with empathy and provide insight and support. No two treatments are the same; it's your life and you deserve to choose your goals.

Do you have a desire to increase joy or abundance? Is anxiety increasing and with social distancing, creating new challenges? Perhaps OCD is problematic, or returning? I offer a gentle approach for discovering an authentic more powerful self, even in these difficult times. Life is managed, explored and understood. Together we can discover how to manifest desires -- to be heard and how to listen. Perhaps it's time to generate a transformation -- curb the overthinking -- discover your own emotional prosperity where you can truly be in charge of yourself. Develop an internal resilience rather than trying to control the externals.
