Existential Therapists in Bayside Hills, NY

I combine my advanced training in psychodynamically -oriented psychotherapy with practical cognitive behavioral approaches. I utilize these methods to provide compassionate and competent treatment for anxiety, panic and phobic disorders as well as PTSD. My belief is that authentic psychotherapy is about the activation of hope, the strengthening of the capacity to love and be loved and the enhancement of each client's capacity for self-preservation, self- healing and self-care.

My specialty is in helping clients with anxiety, depression, PTSD, relational issues, loss of purpose, and integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness (i.e., psychedelic experiences). I use psychodynamic therapy with an existential-humanistic approach and invite my clients to see their life’s ongoing journey as an endless source of wisdom. Compassion and acceptance are key to my approach to helping with various challenges.
