I am a private practice licensed mental health counselor serving clients in and around New York City, as well as online. As your therapist, it is my priority to create a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change. I look forward to working with you to address your challenges and realize your goals. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you desire.

No one can tell what's really going on. You are doing everything to try and keep it ALL under control: your job, relationships with family and friends, and your relationship with your partner. But inside, your thoughts are racing, its hard for you to take a deep breath and concentrate, you can't sleep well and your constantly overwhelmed. You are not sure how much more you can take.

Do I need therapy? Is there something wrong with me if I do? These kinds of questions deeply concern one dissatisfied with his life. A person who enters my practice is interested in improving quality in his life. Feeling lonely, confused, stuck and frustrated interfere with living a full, rich life. Failed or unrewarding relationships; unsuccessful or disappointing work/career situations are clear reasons to seek therapy. Through the work we do together, I help each person redesign his life to create a lifestyle more fitting to meet his needs to begin experiencing life in a most meaningful and rich way.

Do you sometimes think that there’s something that’s missing in your life? What is preventing you from getting what you want? As your potential therapist, my hope is to connect with you through active listening and supportive conversation, to provide a secure and nurturing space to assist in your self-discovery and healing. My primary areas of focus include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family dynamics, life transitions, low self-esteem and stress. I provide a safe, collaborative environment in which we can explore your goals and identify the barriers that are keeping you from living a satisfying life.

Therapy should be treated as a space to confide in a professional who can help you find insight into problematic patterns of behavior, enhance the ability to take perspective, and understand how previous life experiences shape who you are today. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space for my clients with empathy, compassion, and objectivity where they can openly process their feelings and begin the path to change.

My professional view of counseling is that it is a journey of self exploration by the client, using therapy as a guide to self understanding & self awareness. I, as a marriage and family therapist, use the skills that I have learned and developed throughout my education and clinical experience to facilitate growth in my clients. I am not an expert in any of my clients’ lives, but I strive to learn who they are from them and allow them to make decisions for themselves. I allow the client to guide the session so we can talk about the deep rooted problems when they are ready & tackle the daily struggles that cause anxiety & depression.

My practice primarily focuses on individuals seeking treatment for issues of self-esteem, relationships or work problems. These problems can create feelings of despair, loneliness, and hopelessness. Normally, we all begin experiencing these feelings as children and as adults we may develop behavioral patterns which contribute to the perpetuation of low self-esteem. In therapy, we explore the reasons for self-defeating behavior. As we become more aware of what we do and why we do it, we can begin making the necessary changes for a successful future.

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.

I view therapy as a collaboration, one in which we work together to enhance your quality of life, one in which we explore your goals, dreams, and passions in a safe and trusting space. Do you want to find your most authentic self and feel more present in your life? Are you feeling stuck in your job, relationships, or past? Whether you are looking to make life changes, overcome current stresses, or need to find healing for deeper vulnerabilities, I will seek to engage you and work with you with a warm and respectful approach, always mindful of where you are in the process.

Welcome, and congratulations on taking this courageous step towards connecting with a therapist. In my practice, I offer individual and couples counseling. My approach is empathic, respectful, honest, and collaborative. Together, we will pay attention to past experiences, including family dynamics, as well as work on practical, realistic approaches to dealing with today. I have found that people are more resilient than they think. I work to help you harness that strength and regain hope.

Whether you are struggling in your relationship or dealing with depression and anxiety, I am glad you decided to look for help. I believe that having someone who truly understands your difficulties can fundamentally improve your life. My goal is to help you find your voice and shift your relational dynamics by providing you with a warm and accepting environment and by challenging you to do right by yourself. Together we will dive into the emotional experiences that are part and parcel of being alive and develop a new, self-affirming relationship with yourself that is vital and growth-oriented.

Your life is made up of many stories, and the ones you stay connected to and focus on can impact the way you feel. At CoreStory, we work to help you articulate your narratives to better understand your emotions, your relationships and your life. In the City, life can be hectic, with competing demands at work, home and in relationships often leaving people feel depleted, tired, sad, or stuck. We aim to provide a consistent space each week to tell your story and to help you make progress towards personal, family and career goals with a focus on sustaining wellness.

My work is informed by decades of experience in the professional performing arts. Skills honed in the theatre—active listening, trust-building, and authentic communication—are the basis of productive therapeutic relationships and serve my patients well. Relationships are not linear, and neither is couples therapy. The best place to start is in the here and now. Addressing what is happening in the moment leads to greater understanding, empathy, possibility, change, and a healthier future. Your relationship is unique, nuanced, and complicated. My job is to gently untangle the complex web you have woven.

I believe all people who walk into therapy have experienced personal challenges, which at some point have left them feeling stuck or alone. My hope is to join you as you navigate suffering and move through life’s challenging moments together. I aim to create a warm and nurturing therapy space, meeting you where you are, so you can feel cared for and seen by me. No matter what struggle you are facing- anxiety, relationship stress, life transitions, recovering from trauma, family conflict, health problems, self-esteem, or identity issues- I am confident we can find a path forward together. I work with adult individuals and couples.

I am a clinical psychologist providing therapy and assessment services in Scarsdale and Greenwich. I treat various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, behavioral problems, social anxiety, and school/work issues. I also focus on life transitions, whether that be a recent move, transition from college, changes in family dynamics, or changes in significant relationships. Furthermore, I have extensive experience in conducting psychological assessments. Therapeutically, I focus on developing teens and adults, where as I provide assessments for all ages.

I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with over 25 years of experience helping a wide range of individuals. All shared feelings of being stuck or blocked in fundamental areas of their lives. Powerful feelings and beliefs involving shame, fear, anger and sadness had disconnected them from inner sources of strength and self-esteem, and had prevented them from living and working freely and fully. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative relationship in which we identify and resolve those obstacles, leaving you with a new or renewed sense of authenticity, energy and hope.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and culturally sensitive. I try to harness each person’s unique inner strengths to guide clients toward resilience, balance, and a sense of fulfillment. I work with adults who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, transitions, as well as body and self-esteem issues. I integrate a combination of therapeutic modalities depending on the client’s unique needs. I offer guidance, support, and a safe space for exploration while recognizing that clients ultimately drive their healing process. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy sessions, both in English and in Hebrew.
