I am a Manhattan-based psychotherapist with more than twenty years of experience treating children, adolescents, adults and their families. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, play therapy, and cognitive behavioral treatment modalities and I use a flexible, eclectic and highly individualized approach to my work. With a relatable and "real" style, I assist patients in identifying areas of concern, deepening self awareness, developing and achieving realistic goals for their treatment.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who in 25 years of experience has developed a unique way of blending traditional psychology, cognitive-behavioral therapy and current coaching techniques. I use my clinical expertise to evaluate where a client is today, what impediments from the past still play a role and then become a coaching partner for my clients to help them develop and realize personal goals.

Oftentimes, people get to a point in their lives where they know something just isn’t working anymore. They might feel overwhelmed or unhappy about their relationships, work, or family, or maybe, all of the above. But they look around and just don’t know where to start. I believe therapy can be extraordinarily helpful in these moments by providing a space to talk things through, figure out what needs changing, and move forward with more clarity and confidence.

I believe that we all possess the ability to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, which can serve as a guide in helping us to overcome long-standing or temporary upsetting obstacles in life. I have worked as a clinician in diverse settings;I'm currently receiving post-graduate training at the William Alanson White Institute 2016-2019.I provide psychotherapy in Spanish and English to children/adolescents, families, and also adults. I specialize in treating trauma related issues, difficulties with depression and/or anxiety that can, at times, create problems in different environments (work, school, at home) and within relationships.

I have learned the "connection" we make in therapy will lead to fruitful change. We begin by working on very specific concerns, to the more elusive, abstract conflicts of a more esoteric life that aren't so simple to characterize. Everyone comes to therapy with different hopes, unique needs, and a desire to seek what is transformational. I work to create a trusting relationship with all of my patients. In the initial sessions, I focus on what brings you to therapy at this moment in time and to establish a working rapport where you feel safe and listened to, without judgement. Therapy is a unique opportunity to find your voice,

I founded SelfWorks, a group private therapy practice, in large part due to my belief that all of us have innate strengths and resiliency that often go untapped. The name SelfWorks shares our belief that in the right environment, with the right guidance, the self... works. Therapy can be like an aspirin, a treatment for the relief of your pain and symptoms. Therapy can also be approached like a vitamin, to promote continued health, while helping your mind flourish. Since it can be used in these ways, we strongly believe there is never a bad time to start therapy.

I specialize in evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I teach clients skills they can continue to use even after therapy has ended.

I have coined the terms "My Marriage Marathon", "My Family Marathon" & "My Couples Marathon". My marathon sessions serve populations who claim that weekly sessions that meet for 50-60 minutes at the same time, simply do not work. My Marriage/Couples/Family Marathons are effective because these populations leave with hope & a treatment plan containing skills & techniques to practice for six weeks. Clients who practice the plan that I created uniquely for them, sail more smoothly thru their relationship". "Kodak moments" become meaningful memories much more often.
