As a psychotherapist, I feel privileged to work with people as they explore the challenges that bring them to treatment.

In my psychotherapy practice, I work primarily with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, managing significant life transitions, relationship difficulties, and work stress. In addition to working in private practice, I am the psychotherapist for Steward House at Silver Hill Hospital, where I provide individual and group therapy for people with significant high-level career roles and responsibilities who are struggling with mental health and/or substance use problems.

My approach to therapy is psychoanalytic/psychodynamic and draws on multiple theoretical approaches depending on the needs of the patient. Whether you are in crisis or simply dissatisfied with some aspect of your life, therapy can help by uncovering unconscious patterns and finding new ways to address unsettling internal states and interpersonal conflicts. These can include difficulties with coworkers and supervisors, family or romantic relationships, identity issues, unwanted dependencies, loss, loneliness, inertia, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, rage, compulsive behaviors, and other self-destructive patterns.

I am a solution-focused psychologist who uses cognitive behavioral strategies and psychodynamic approaches. I work with adults, children and adolescents, couples, and families who present with depression, anxiety, marital/infidelity/divorce and parenting issues, educational and vocational issues, and adjustment disorders, and those who are at any stage of the divorce process. In the confidential therapeutic environment people can safely explore their issues and achieve understanding and improved personal/interpersonal functioning. I provide executive coaching with foci on developing insight into the self, anger and anxiety management, and interpersonal relationships both in the work place and at home.

When you seek a therapist, whether due to emotional suffering, a feeling of being "stuck," unhealthy patterns of behavior, grief or life transitions, you hope to find someone who listens. I focus on listening carefully, without judging, with a caring attitude and a commitment to understanding you. I respect the fact that you have been trying your best all along, but now you seek a helping hand. I commit myself to helping because I believe change is always possible.

Feeling stressed, anxious, isolated, worry about money/finance, the future, relationship issues, uncertain? We will discuss techniques to help free yourself from negative thoughts, and clearly assess your needs. The aim is to to provide awareness, helping you to get meaning into your life, to help you better understand yourself and finding a feeling of satisfaction and balance within. Those answers will allow you to lower symptoms and go deeper into the therapeutic work. I served an outpatient mental health clinic in NY and in a private practice for 22years. I offer both virtual or in person sessions.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing issues including anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work well with those wanting to improve self esteem, relationships, and functioning at school or work. I have extensive experience working with parents who are looking to gain a better understanding of their child, improve the parent-child relationship, and navigate parenting dilemmas.

The natural evolution of life brings many stressors and transitions our way. We may be faced with relationship problems, choosing a life path, challenges at work/school, family upsets and more. Experiencing confusion, grief, anxiety, depression and other tricky emotions can be difficult to manage. I help people work through these feelings and increase self knowledge. Helping clients to find greater internal understanding often brings about insight and the opportunity for change, moving us toward a more healthy and fulfilled experience.

Trauma (big and small) can create symptoms and experiences of anxiety/depression, low self esteem, feeling 'stuck', negative core beliefs, dissociation, somatic flashbacks, sexual addictions, and shame/guilt. These are some of the symptoms our work together will address. Common goals include decreasing the impact of prior trauma(s), increased self esteem, decreased shame or intrusive thoughts, and healthier core beliefs-to name a few! Clients I work with are motivated to change, and often seek more fulfillment, healthier relationships, and more mental peace.

I treat anxiety, depression, loneliness, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I believe that our relationships, past and present, have a great impact on our wellbeing starting from childhood. Memories can remain embedded in our unconscious and surface in ways of self-defeating thoughts and actions. My style of therapy allows the understanding of what is at the root of the problem. I help my clients gain insight into who they are so that they can live an authentic and intentional life.
