Therapists in NoHo, New York, NY

You have the potential to live a fulfilling life, one that is respectful of your experiences and true to your values. Psychotherapy is not about changing you, it is about helping you become more of who you really are. I am a certified psychoanalyst and clinical social worker. In my practice, we work with adults of all ages who are feeling stuck and want support in finding a way forward.

I believe therapy is a place where we can become empowered to understand our thoughts and feelings deepening our sense of self. Life can present us with unexpected hardships, and in our work together we will process those challenges and explore who you want to be in the face of them. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I work to collaborate with every client to make sure the therapeutic space is filled with empathy, honesty, and trust to allow for a healing space full of meaningful growth.

I'm a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with more than 35 years of experience. My goal is to enable my clients to better understand themselves and their hidden emotional conflicts. Self-awareness and self-knowledge are empowering because our deepest desires for love, connectedness, and achievement are typically tangled up in bad feelings - like shame, guilt or anxiety -- that obstruct us from pursuing their fulfillment. These bad feelings are often based on unrealistic ideas, the residues of childhood experience. I work with clients to disentangle their vital wishes from these constraints so that they can live more authentic and creative lives.

The road to self discovery and healing starts with a brave step forward. I facilitate a safe space where you can address any challenges and gain awareness into past patterns that may be affecting your present. You’ll explore ways fear or internal conflicts interfere with your life goals, relationships, and overall quality of life. Through this process, you’ll be able to recognize triggers and work towards breaking unhealthy cycles.

My work as a clinical psychologist has grown out of my interest in the interplay of how we develop, what we experience, and how we make our way through our challenges. My commitment in the therapeutic process is to a thoughtful understanding of how your experiences have brought you to this point and what the underlying causes of difficulty in your life are. Through our collaboration we work in an atmosphere of respect to deepen that understanding, reduce distress, create better ways of coping, promote healing, and structure changes that allow for greater balance and the possibility of joy.

I'd be honored to work together, to earn your trust to use insight-oriented psychotherapy and other effective techniques to help you restore hope and find relief. I pledge you'll have the chance to be listened to and understood in a profound way, maybe for the first time. In a safe and collaborative setting, we'll find solutions to specific situational difficulties or lifelong, entrenched problems. We'll begin lifting emotional burdens that, on your own, you might never have thought possible. And, find the delight in an "aha!" moment that leads to substantive change for the better.

I create a warm and collaborative atmosphere where you can freely explore your lived experiences, anxieties, and hopes for yourself. My approach to therapy involves deep listening.

In our work together, we can better understand your patterns, empowering you to make conscious choices and break free from self-limiting cycles.

I'm psychodynamically oriented, and I specialize in anxiety, play therapy, trauma, and attachment. I enjoy helping families to strengthen relationships.

I often work with older children, teens, and adults as well, and tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of each person I work with.

Life can be difficult at times. For many of us protecting ourselves from knowing our suffering can take the form of troubling emotional symptoms, self-destructiveness as well as anxieties and inhibitions. Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.
