Therapists in Inwood, NY

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with practices in Manhattan and Long Island. I work with adults, adolescents, and children presenting with a wide range of concerns and difficulties.

There are times when it is too challenging to deal with significant changes on our own. Whether we are experiencing shifts in our relationships, a separation, dealing with divorce, taking responsibilty for your finances, raising kids, parenting adult children, or allowing the good to flow, we all need support. Sometimes our bodies signal to us that we need help, evidenced by our sleeping (or not) patterns, our (scheduling) eating, and our (high and low) moods. I like to incorporate mindfulness tools to assist you in developing a 'calm' within yourself as you unpack and place problems in their proper perspective.

As life’s challenges become overwhelming, workplace demands unattainable, relationships, chaotic and life unmanageable; it may be time to accept help. A therapeutic alliance can promote personal growth and healing. Empowers self discovery, understanding of individual beliefs, perspectives, needs and emotions. Therapy can facilitate development of insight into the nature of one’s character deficits and provides opportunity for the introduction of new coping mechanisms to assist in generating desired changes. There are many individuals and children struggling with mental health issues who do not know where to turn to for relief.

Our strongest reactions have roots in the past. We can't change difficult situations of the past but we can work together to understand how you have been impacted and work through challenges in the present. My goal is to work with you to uncover your true potential and innate healing. By applying complementary therapeutic approaches and techniques, in a warm and supportive environment, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and/or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing healthier relationships and a happier, more fulfilling life today.

If you feel hopeless, I will hold hope for you. If you feel helpless, I will remind you of how strong you are even if you don't feel strong in the moment. We all struggle to let go of our past, maybe an imperfect childhood or a traumatic romantic relationship. We all want a second chance to create the life we were supposed to have. Change is painful. And you may have to walk away from something, or someone, who no longer serves you.
