My overarching goal for any of my clients is to have an improved life, in whatever area that they are seeking to manage and improve.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Are you struggling with relationships, self-esteem, or life transitions? Our work together will help you navigate these challenges and find a path toward healing and growth. Through a collaborative and compassionate approach, I work with my clients to identify and address underlying issues that are causing distress in their lives. Whether you are dealing with past trauma or current stressors, or simply seeking personal development, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.

After a 25 year career in a major hospital I am very happy with a small sliding scale practice in my home office. I specialize in working with artists, creatives, college students, LBGTQ+ persons, and others who live non-traditional lives. I have a straight-forward, solution-focused, non-judgmental, and supportive approach, incorporating humor and irreverence when indicated. Therapy does not have to be a sullen place to focus on one’s negatives. Nor does it have to be long-term and costly. Join me in an engaged, interactive, lively journey toward your goals.

As humans, we never stop confronting the adversities of life. Although we cannot control the ups of downs of everyday life, we can learn how to respond to and manage stress and tragedy differently than how we have done so throughout our lives in order to survive or tolerate the unbearable. Having a safe and supportive place to address past learned behaviors and coping strategies is crucial for self-healing and growth. As a nonjudgmental and empathetic therapist, I work with clients' strengths which often leaves clients feeling more empowered and with a new sense of self.

My many years of experience afford me the opportunity to empathize and relate to a broad range of individuals and their families. While helping people achieve long lasting change, I try to make counseling pleasant and enjoyable. I empower my clients to recognize the comfort and enjoyment of the here and now as we journey through life’s trials and tribulations Focusing on harm reduction, I utilize a client-centered approach, working from a systems perspective, to help people resolve their internal and external conflicts in a holistic manner.

Client’s usually seek therapy when they feel “stuck”, unable to move beyond the obstacles they are facing. I am passionate about helping people tackle life’s challenges, to help them feel more empowered and in control. Rooted in a cognitive behavioral style of therapy, I aim to help my clients identify and eventually combat harmful beliefs and behaviors that may be holding them back from achieving their goals and living the life they desire. I work with my clients to build a “toolkit” full of skills that they can take with them outside the therapy room.

I have 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist working with individuals and couples in NYC. I am a non-judgmental, compassionate, and very supportive therapist. I have experience with adults of all ages coping with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflict, life goals, loss, pregnancy and new motherhood, and a variety of other therapeutic issues. I also work with patients who may just need someone on the outside of their daily lives to talk with, in order to be the best version of themselves. I believe that flexibility and drawing from different therapeutic modalities is the best way to create positive changes.

Do you feel like you're shouting into the wind, but no one is listening? Is your mind racing a million miles an hour all day (and sometimes all night) long? Does your brain feel like it's stuck in an endless loop, thinking the same useless thoughts on repeat? It doesn't have to be this way! Get out of the echo chamber of your own head and find a safe place to clear your mind. Yes, reaching out for help can be scary, and procrastination so easy to justify - but taking that first step starts paying off right away. When you're clear about what you're thinking and feeling - and why - it's much easier to know what to do next.
