Therapists in New York, NY

I have been a mental health professional for over 20 years. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from New York University. My professional experience ranges from working with adults and the elderly, to young adults and teenagers. I see patients for individual therapy, couples therapy and family therapy. I specialize in a wide range of issues including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, poor social skills, struggles with work life, struggles with personal life, vertigo, daytime sleepiness, addiction, eating disorders, anger management, people with immigration history or immigrant families, postpartum depression, phobias/panic attacks.

Would you like to be living to your full potential but you feel stuck? Are you coping with a crisis or difficult situation? Whether it's to learn coping skills, improve relationships, change your work experience, or adjust to a new reality, I will walk with you in understanding yourself better, achieving your goals, reducing negative patterns, and achieving emotional well being. *** All adults and adolescents are welcome. I have a lot of experience working with attorneys, people in high stress environments, frustrated artists, non-mainstream sexualities, new parents, relationship dynamics, and body oriented concerns.

As you navigate life's ups and downs, therapy can be a soothing process that makes the ride smoother. Talking to someone trained and professional allows you to share your inner most thoughts and feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. As you learn to relinquish old patterns of behavior and adopt new coping skills, you will feel more confident and secure. Your life will take on a new depth and richness that you can call your own.

As a psychotherapist and healer for many years it has been my privilege to offer and provide help and comfort to people in distress. Experience has taught me that we all struggle to recover from the pains of the past, deal with the challenges of the present and the insecurities of the future, in our efforts to live the best lives that we can. This often seems very difficult if not impossible to accomplish alone. A strong and nurturing therapeutic relationship is a powerful and stable foundation for dealing with these challenges to our well-being, especially in these very troubling and uncertain times.

Do you suffer with anxiety, depression, or problems communicating effectively with your partner or loved one? Feel easily frustrated or confused? Have problems handling or expressing your anger? These are some of the issues I enjoy helping clients to resolve in the comfort and privacy of therapy. My goal is to help you identify and overcome the unhealthy patterns of behavior that negatively impact your life. I can help you learn to replace negative behaviors with more effective coping and communication styles, and at the same time increase your self-esteem.

Recovery from psychological problems and improving overall health is best achieved when patient and clinician work together in a collaborative manner. My practice offers child adolescent and adult psychodynamic psychotherapy. Additionally motivational enhancement counseling for improved physical health and effective management of chronic health conditions is offered. All therapeutic interventions are individualized with the goal of recovery from depression anxiety and most other mental health diagnosis and disorders.
