Are you feeling overwhelmed in areas of your life including career, relationships, family; or notice you are repeating the same patterns? Perhaps, you are looking for ways to create a more balanced life and build closer relationships. Maybe you are looking for more fulfillment and meaning than your job provides, or experiencing unhappiness but you are unsure what to do about it. I understand that life can be hectic and sometimes we can get caught up in the events of daily life, experiencing anxiety or doubts about ourselves.

Few things are harder than struggling alone. You might be holding onto pain from your family, friends, or past relationships. Or it could feel like you're stuck inside a traumatic event that chains your life. It might feel like no one understands how deeply sad, intensely angry, or desperately helpless you feel. But you're not alone. Healing from trauma is not just a concept; it is an attainable reality. It would be an honor to be invited on your journey towards healing, reparation and building a life worth living. I believe the goal of therapy is not just to stop the suffering, but to create a sustained life of thriving and joy.

Are you struggling with difficult family dynamics or a lack of support from your environment? Are you finding that the tools that you have turned to cope, like substance use and avoidance, has taken hold of your life? Are you feeling exhausted or constrained by treatment that sees your experience as a disease and dispenses formulaic solutions? You are not your symptoms and you deserve care from someone who wants to join you, sees you as the multi-layered complex person you are and supports your vision of healing in mind.

Feeling overwhelmed by the weight of grief and loss? It's understandable to feel lost in the midst of life's unpredictable challenges. In my practice, I offer a compassionate and understanding space where you can freely express your emotions. I'm here to validate your feelings and help you navigate through the confusion, gently guiding you toward clarity. My aim is to support you in taking meaningful steps forward, honoring your values and aspirations along the way. Together, we'll explore coping strategies and techniques to help you manage grief in your daily life, finding moments of solace within the pain.

“Someone I loved once gave me a box of darkness. It took years to realize that this, too, was a gift.”-Mary Oliver / My belief is that healing takes place in relationships.

I bring an authentic, humorous, empathetic warmth while also challenging you too show up fully and bring your most present self.

Seeking a therapist is the first step towards taking control of your life. Maybe you’re feeling pain, stress, frustration, or hopeless. You’re tired of pretending to be happy and sacrificing your own needs for the needs of others. Sometimes, you’re balancing so much you’re not sure what to tackle first.

Life can be difficult at times. For many of us protecting ourselves from knowing our suffering can take the form of troubling emotional symptoms, self-destructiveness as well as anxieties and inhibitions. Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.

If you are seeking therapy, you are taking an important step toward creating a vibrant personal and professional life. Our work will help you improve the quality of your relationships, clarify your desire, and create the circumstances to best cultivate your interests, creativity, and self-expression. We will work on freeing you from frustrating patterns that keep interfering with your ability to achieve your personal goals, such as managing your time and money, supporting your health and body-image, and cultivating a loving relationship with family, friends, and a partner.

Sex is usually a topic that is met with secrecy, embarrassment, shame, or judgment. Thus, I aim to create a safe, open environment to address various relational and sexual concerns (i.e., lack of intimacy, infidelity, erectile dysfunction, "excessive masturbation") with individuals of various sexual orientations, genders, ethnicities, and kinks. You should be able to have the sex you desire! I also welcome individuals who have issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, self-esteem, life transitions, employment, communication, assertiveness, and/or family dynamics.

The decision to enter therapy is often fueled by a desire for growth and change. Having worked as a grief counselor for 17 years, I have had the opportunity to help many people as they learn to navigate the major life changes that come with loss. The death of a loved one often triggers unresolved issues and I have helped people cope with relationship issues, family conflicts, anxiety and self esteem as they deal with the ripple effects of loss. Loss and change of any kind can turn one's world upside down. But it can also be a catalyst for growth as old ways of coping are set aside and new ways of being in the world are explored.

If you are ready to embark on a rewarding journey to the true essence of you, and create the life you desire and deserve, I invite you to my practice. It is time to release all that does not serve you and replenish with all that optimizes your experience here and now. "Happiness is your Birthright.'

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst with over 25 years of experience working with adults with concerns about eating, exercise, weight, and body image, as well as a wide range of other issues. Starting therapy can be difficult, and I strive to create a warm, collaborative and nonjudgmental space in which you can safely explore yourself and how you relate to others, and work through current challenges and obstacles in your life. I participate actively in the therapeutic dialogue, and I view psychotherapy as a shared journey of self discovery that can lead to lasting change.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Manhattan, New York.

I believe in each person's ability and capacity for self reflection and insight. I strive to provide a safe and engaging environment in which change can occur.

Do you find it difficult to trust yourself to make healthy decisions? Do you have conflict with friends, family or your employer? Do you want to stop holding yourself back from doing what you REALLY want to do? You may be experiencing "normal" life stress such as finishing school, living together, getting married, a career change, or contemplating parenthood. You may be having "unexpected" stress such as losing a job, deciding to break up, losing a loved one, or being in conflict with yourself or someone else. It's normal to feel anxious, sad or overwhelmed at these times.

My approach to therapy is individualized, interactive, and collaborative. Respecting your pace, I will help you to explore your current life challenges and uncover the habitual patterns that stand in your way. I will support you to increase awareness of your feelings, thoughts and how they impact your actions.

I have broad experience over twenty five years, in private practice, family agencies and clinical settings. I offer short and long term treatment for problems in living and relating. My approach is relational, with a mind-body, whole person perspective. My practice includes clinical supervision, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I often support couples in healing stuck relational dynamics; at any stage of a relationship. Having lived abroad, I work well with expats around questions of identity, acculturation and belonging. I also work with new mothers and those who have lost a parent during early adulthood.
