I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist working with individuals and couples. My primary focus is sex therapy and sexual/relational problems in men and women in all stages of life. Areas of expertise include sexual dysfunction; arousal, desire, and orgasmic issues; intimacy issues with self and partners; compulsive/hypersexual behavior/sex addiction; love addiction; paraphilias; and treating partners of sex addicts.

I approach therapy from a holistic perspective that honors all aspects of a person as an integrated whole, using body-based somatic psychotherapy and mindfulness techniques at the core of my practice. When we begin to slow down and explore our mind-body experience with curiosity and care, we can start to notice and transform old wounds and patterns that are interfering with our ability to live a full life of ease, passion and connection. I come from a place of co-creating a journey with you that deeply honors the wisdom and strengths you already carry, while also working with you to develop new resources to help address your needs.

My clients know that something in their lives needs to change. I work collaboratively to help clients clarify their own therapeutic and life goals, and we quickly get to work pursuing them. My clients and I are deeply invested in reducing their emotional distress and to improving their quality of life. I work with adults using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based therapies for a range of problems, including depression, generalized anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic, social anxiety, phobias, insomnia, and trichotillomania. Many also come to me with relationship and other life issues.

I specialize in working with sexual minorities, alternative/kink/polyamory lifestyles, sex workers, discordant desire and infidelity in couples, sexual dysfunction and anxiety, gender and orientation confusion, and sexual compulsivity. There is literally no question or concern that is too troubling or difficult for me to help you address.

I specialize in treating anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using exposure and response prevention (ERP) and other Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods. I am a compassionate interactive psychologist and understand that starting therapy can be challenging. I am here to help you reach your valued life goals and begin to live a more fulfilling life. I have extensive experience in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Health Anxiety, and Panic Disorder. My work frequently addresses mood, relationship, personality issues, and general well being improvement.

The fundamental core of my practice is to foster a safe, nurturing and open space. I believe that by addressing our stressors and obstacles we free ourselves to achieve our best quality of life. We all have a story to convey and need a safe place to share it. My genuine passion for people and a curiosity in their life story is what drew me to this line of work. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a vital component to personal growth and self-wisdom.

We know what it’s like to come home exhausted, burned out. To feel like it doesn’t get better. To not know where to start. To feel like it’s impossible. And we know how hard it can be to find a great therapist who actually accepts your insurance. We're here to help. Headway is a group of 40+ NYC-based therapists, psychiatrists, and psychologists, all who accept Aetna, United, Oscar and Oxford.

As a result, you can experience improved mood, increased self-esteem, and have all the confidence you need to pursue and achieve your goals.

Finding a therapist is a lot like dating. It takes time and patience to find the right one. But once you find the right match (and eventually you will), all the hard work will feel more than worth it. With a true understanding of what it takes to seek out someone to talk to, I strive to offer an empathetic, practical and collaborative approach to therapy. My focus is on creating a strong therapeutic alliance that is not only nurturing, but challenges you to step outside your comfort zone and embrace change.

The Cognitive Therapy Center of Manhattan (CTCM) is a treatment and training center specializing in the full range of Cognitive and Behavioral psychotherapies (CBT). It provides treatment for patients with emotional and behavioral problems, as well as advanced Post-Doctoral training for psychologists and psychiatrists. In addition to the primary location in midtown Manhattan, services are also provided in Scarsdale, NY. The therapists at both locations are Doctoral level clinicians who are specializing in advanced Cognitive Therapy techniques.

Life experiences can bring pain and conflict resulting in depression, anxiety and coping with substances. I frequently hear the expression of loneliness, emptiness and feeling unfulfilled in people's lives and the sadness, disappointment and anger over relationships with themselves, partners, family and friends that fail to satisfy those needs. Experience has taught me that feeling heard and understood generates a sense of hope and stimulates movement toward insight through exploration and examination of one's inner life. Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers the framework and space for this work, leading to corrective emotional experiences and a more satisfying life and relationships.

Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision; one that takes courage and often comes with some anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. I consider empathy, sympathy, and honesty are the key elements to a nurturing and successful therapeutic relationship. I’ve spent the last 4 years training and working with clients at institutions such as New York Presbyterian, New York University and Cornell Medical College. *** Hablo Espanol*****

From the outside it looks like you have it all together - you’re the “go-to” friend, a devoted son/daughter and loving girlfriend/boyfriend, a top ranked analyst, a successful start-up founder - but on the inside you are often struggling to hold it all together. Friends and family praise your accomplishments, and you think to yourself “if only they really knew”. If this feels like you, know that you are not alone. With the innumerable stressors we face living and working in today's world it is only a matter of time before even the most resilient, motivated individuals realize that they need some extra help.
