Therapists in Two Bridges, New York, NY

For over 25 years I have been privileged to become closely involved with patients and their challenges. I value my relationship with each patient and couple, and provide a safe, warm environment. My goal is to bring about positive change by alleviating problems and providing relief from symptoms. Extensive training and experience combined with warmth and individualized attention are the ingredients which enable me to help my patients successfully achieve their goals. Since every individual and situation is different, I match the treatment to the patient, and not the patient to the treatment.

People experience different challenges in their lives that are sometimes difficult to work through alone. But together we can make sense of it, and achieve a healthier, happier life. By providing a safe and empathic space, we can explore those challenges. My approach to each and every session is to be with you, through truly listening, providing a judgment-free environment, respectful challenge, and mutual participation throughout the therapeutic process. As a team, you and I will process the emotional, cognitive, physical, familial, and spiritual factors impacting your life, and preventing you from achieving your goals.

I have 25 years experience working productively with people of diverse backgrounds, ages, and sexual orientations. Our job together is to identify dysfunctional patterns that contribute to—even perpetuate—your difficulties. The main focus of therapy is to remove inner and outer obstacles that prevent you from reaching your goals and having better relationships. Please note, after years of counseling and assessment in offices, I‘ve recently moved into a different space: video. Active listening in a safe, private setting is foundational to this work. I’ve learned that the catalytic elements of good therapy can thrive via video too.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York with over 24 years of experience. I’ve worked in mental health, chemical abuse, homelessness, domestic violence, etc and have a wide range of experience that I use to inform my practice. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families on issues such as depression, addiction, relationship issues, self esteem, and domestic violence, amongst others. As a social worker, my skillset is being able to see the bigger picture and I specialize in an empathic approach utilizing client-centered therapy.

Having worked in a variety of settings, including 15 years in wilderness therapy, I've found that there is something wonderfully inviting about working together in quiet outside spaces (or utilizing teletherapy in these times of Covid-19). Optimally I help clients utilize their individual strength, values and insight to help find a more peaceful state of mind and lifestyle. As human beings we are meant to build meaningful connections, and sadly there are an overwhelming number of deterrents to building those relationships with self, others, community, etc. We can and will tackle those difficulties together.

Though I specialize in working with couples and young adults, I thoroughly enjoy working with those of all demographics and backgrounds. Struggles within relationships, loss of control with substances, anxiety, depression, or a mixture of them all can leave us feeling alone and isolated, no matter the stage of life, and having an experienced therapist to offer guidance and support can make all the difference in our lives. Throughout my time as a clinician, I have supported clients in tackling mental roadblocks, implementing skills for their relationships, as well as listened with care to their stories.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety? Have you noticed that your worries have reached new heights, leaving you second-guessing everything and worrying about what others may or may not be thinking? Do you find it hard to get any rest and feel like it's just another impossible task on your to-do list? Even your work, which used to be a source of focus and purpose, no longer seems to help. Maybe you've noticed how easily annoyed you can become with your loved ones and that it feels incredibly difficult to relate to them. It's like no one truly understands, or wants to understand, what you're going through.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice for over twenty-five years. I specialize in working with couples utilizing a psychoanalytic perspective.

Persons struggling with painful feelings such as anxiety, sadness, loss or depression, can be greatly helped by facing what are often experienced as insurmountable obstacles in a safe and secure therapeutic environment.

I employ an integrative method, drawing from various theoretical understandings and treatment modalities, to develop an effective approach to address distinct needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Addiction Specialist with over 25 years of experience in the field.

I currently serve on the faculty of the NYU Graduate School of Social Work as a Clinical Professor and advisor, and also provide clinical supervision to those clinicians seeking NYS licensure. I also work very closely with the NYC based court system.

Anxiety, fear, low self-esteem, and depression are issues that often leave people feeling hopeless. These emotional states take a heavy toll on our relationships with our families and our partners. Understanding the body's response to stress is a helpful step in combating anxiety and depression. I help clients to feel more in control of their anxiety by teaching them mindfulness and stress management techniques. Through our work together, you'll learn stress management techniques and build your self esteem so that you can feel more in control of your life. .

I am a psychologist with a diverse practice. I work with individuals, couples, adolescents and families, and conduct a variety of psychotherapy groups. My style is informal, supportive and interactive. I have extensive experience working with issues related to addictive and compulsive behavior problems, relationship issues, identity issues, and many other areas of clinical concern. My first aim is to establish a mutually comfortable rapport to provide an atmosphere of openness and to make self exploration an experience that is satisfying and immediately helpful in both the short and long term.

As a psychologist with many years of experience working with a wide range of clients, I know that positive change and deep healing are possible. It begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and understanding. Through empathic listening I create a safe therapeutic environment where my clients can face life's challenges, understand themselves better, and live fuller and more satisfying lives.

Your story up to this moment informs who and where you are right now, but it doesn't have to be the way it ends, if it isn't working for you. With support, you can change the choices you make and the course of your story. I look forward to helping you look at and decide how to move forward.

My midtown office, conveniently located at 48th Street and Broadway, allows me to stay available to the financial world. I also have a particular expertise working with people in the arts - theatre, music, dance.
