"Every one of us is losing something precious to us. Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. That's part of what it means to be alive." (Murakami). Losses are part of the fabric of life. Loss of loved ones, jobs, hopes and dreams, relationships, good health. Loss comes in many forms. I provide a place for you to share your experience of loss and to find ways to cope. My aim is to help you integrate your losses into your life so you can move forward with strength and optimism.

Daily life has become challenging trying to balance our families, relationships, careers and goals.

My approach in identifying, evaluating, assessing, ameliorating, modifying and/or providing a specific recommendation for adjustment to a disability, problem, or disorder of behavior, character, development, emotion, personality or relationships is by the use of verbal or behavioral methods with individuals, couples, families or groups utilizing a multimodal treatment approach. Logotherapy is the primary "psychotherapeutic orientation" which guides and directs all other treatment methods utilized in this private practice.

Living in NYC through the pandemic and economic and societal turmoil can be stressful and anxiety-provoking for people of all ages and professions.

I believe the most important element of effective psychotherapy is the genuine connection between the patient and therapist. My approach to therapy is interactive, supportive, and empathic. I see psychotherapy as a creative process and my patients as co-partners in this process of exploration and discovery.

Whether you're looking for support or guidance through a particularly difficult time, or you're open to a real change in your life and where you're going, together, we can work to achieve dreams, and reach your goals. In my experience the things in life that matter most - meaningful relationships, good health and professional achievement - are interrelated and benefit from an integrated approach. I provide a truly comprehensive approach because in addition to traditional psychotherapy, I also have deep subject matter expertise in the areas of relationships, career, personal finance, conflict resolution, and divorce.

I work with a wide range of clients, from college students to professionals. A large percentage of my practice is made up of individuals in the performing and creative arts. I find a psychological curiosity on the part of the client to be especially helpful in the process.

I believe that using evidence-based techniques in a compassionate therapeutic relationship is the key to successful treatment. My work with my clients is grounded in empathy and connection while helping individuals gain insight into their struggles. As your therapist, I will help you to learn how to reduce the impact and influence of painful thoughts and feelings while taking action to build a life that is full and meaningful. You will also learn how to implement new techniques and skills and, ultimately, how to be your own therapist.

I take a highly interactive, supportive, and collaborative approach to therapy. My goal is to help you function and feel better in the present by addressing the frustrating or repetitive behaviors or cycles that have held you back, Together, we will develop greater insight about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that undermine your relationships and productivity. My hope is that our work together will not only be enriching and meaningful, but that it will create the change you are looking for to live a fulfilling life.

Whether it be the pursuit of change and growth, or difficulty coping with chronic physical, psychological, or social issues, seeking psychotherapy can be the first step towards achieving resilience, purpose, and a better quality of life. I work with individuals, families and couples to identify areas of improvement, foster change, cope with symptoms, and maintain progress. For many, a history of trauma (emotional/ physical/ sexual/ financial abuse, abandonment, bullying, domestic violence, etc) or medical difficulties (chronic/terminal illness, pain) can complicate treatment needs. Cases of grief, mood and anxiety disorders can respond differently to psychotherapy when these elements are present.

My guiding principle as a therapist is deep listening without judgment (acknowledgement plus acceptance) so that people can feel the freedom to express themselves, explore their experiences and create authentic connection. I believe that listening is an essential tool in healing and feeling valued. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, with an anti-oppression lens. I am committed to the lifelong unlearning of colonial structures that are deeply rooted in mental health, and to holding space for others to unpack how societal and institutional structures have impacted their mental health and wellness.

The quality of relationships is at the heart of my work. Whether you are going through a separation or divorce, loss, doubts about a new love interest, parenting or step-parenting issues, pain of an affair, an upsetting move, or a life-stage transition, I can help you move through and beyond the pain or challenges of your situation. I will listen deeply, ask meaningful questions, help make sense of what you are going through, and share both tears and laughter along the way - no matter what the pain, disappointment, confusion or anger you may experience.

Whether the collapse is "out there" or "in here," it often seems the world is collapsing. Many of us seek therapy because the sense of losing our mind, our self, our loved ones, or our livelihood is terrifying, and the real threats of catastrophe are debilitating. Knowing what we want becomes increasingly difficult, and we struggle to take shape and hold on to ourselves in the presence of others. We fold up or fold in to protect ourselves and our relationships, but then aloneness, desperation, panic, and self attack set in.
