I am a licensed psychotherapist and have been in practice for over 25 years. My specialty is anxiety management, depression, self esteem issues,relationship difficulties, ( including marital, family, work and friendships). My work also includes working with individuals struggling with various addictions, life cycle transitions, disenchantment, and personal growth. Various approaches are used, depending on the problem presented. My style is interactive and direct . You you can expect clear and honest feedback. I am currently on the faculty of the National Institute of the Psychotherapies and have supervised and taught at various training programs and institutes in NYC.

I believe that treatment works best when it is tailored to the personality and individual needs of each client. Rather than relying on one theoretical perspective, I utilize a multi-modal approach, which consistently yields faster and longer-lasting results. My approach to treatment is grounded in psychodynamic and inter-personal theory, which I integrate with cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and solution-focused techniques. I have extensive experience dealing with a variety of psychological problems, including depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as work-related, phase of life, marital, and family issues.

I have learned the "connection" we make in therapy will lead to fruitful change. We begin by working on very specific concerns, to the more elusive, abstract conflicts of a more esoteric life that aren't so simple to characterize. Everyone comes to therapy with different hopes, unique needs, and a desire to seek what is transformational. I work to create a trusting relationship with all of my patients. In the initial sessions, I focus on what brings you to therapy at this moment in time and to establish a working rapport where you feel safe and listened to, without judgement. Therapy is a unique opportunity to find your voice,

As a clinical psychologist with over 30 years experience, I foster an atmosphere of collaboration with the goal of helping one to begin to understand and change the blocks in life that create stress, difficulties in functioning at work and in relationships, and within one's self. We develop strategies together to change patterns and feelings that create a sense of being "stuck" into more flexible and creative ways of changing those patterns. Treatment can result in more clarity, more optimism, and hope in making vital changes to live more fully.

Are your ways of managing stress, anxiety, or depression no longer working as they once did? Are you overwhelmed with a new issue or struggling with long-standing frustrating feelings and ready to make a change? My role is to be your partner in understanding yourself more deeply. We will put our heads together to uncover how beliefs about yourself and the world came to be, and how some may be preventing you from feeling satisfied in life. We often come to therapy when we are feeling stuck, and I want to work with you to understand what barriers are in the way to your feeling as alive and fulfilled as you hope to be.

There is no ideal client. Each client is a unique subject who has been shaped by an infinitely complex set of circumstances; family, culture and inherited predispositions. The one thing that they have in common is that somehow there is a sense that things are somehow not right and yet still entertain a suspicion that things can improve. Working in an open, honest and interactive way, marked by curiosity, compassion and courage we will work together to discover patterns and styles that hinder the experience of joy, intimacy and achievement. Together we will work to overcome the crisis of debilitating guilt, anxiety and depression.

I help people overcome the obstacles in their lives that block them from the fulfillment, satisfaction, and overall contentment they seek. I meet with people in a safe and confidential setting where they can feel comfortable to discuss the concerns that trouble them.

Starting therapy is a brave step. It means facing yourself and the challenges life has thrown your way. The external world of everyday experiences, family dynamics, and social or workplace interactions can deeply impact our internal world and cause us to lose our balance. As your therapist, my aim is to help you find that balance. I am here to support you, tapping into your inner strength to help you function and feel better.

I am a warm and insightful psychologist who focuses on helping people make significant changes in personal and professional areas of their lives. I work with adults, couples, and families who are dealing with transitions or want to maximize their full potential. In the first session I identify the areas which are most crucial to focus on and the approach which will be most useful for reaching your goals quickly. We then jointly create a plan of action for reaching your objectives.

Hi and welcome to my practice. I have been treating children, adolescents, adults and families for almost 40 years.

Understanding the value that therapy can bring to a person’s health and wellbeing, I strive to provide a safe space for everyone who enters my office. I have experience working with a diverse population providing individual, couples and family therapy. Although I may be an expert in the field, I know my clients are experts in their own lives. By working together, I hope changes can be made and for their goals to be reached.

Everything looks great from the outside. No one would guess you're actually struggling with something. You're always on the go. Plenty to do with a demanding job and a busy family life. People who know you think you've got it all together. They have no idea that inside, you feel like your world is crumbling. This grief is with you every day. Intrusive thoughts about what you could have done differently, what you said, what you didn't say, what you should've said. So many memories, so many regrets. You want to heal. You want to move forward. A part of you is scared but deep down you know it's time to face this loss.

Whether you are looking for support to resolve a challenging problem that you have identified but just can't seem to resolve, experiencing interpersonal or family conflict or feel a lack of fulfillment in your life, I can help you to move forward. My academic and clinical training, maturity, more than two decades of experience and rich, as well as varied interpersonal experiences, allow me to provide a comfortable environment where you can achieve the insight and knowledge of self and others that will allow you to make the choices that will lead to greater self control, well being and life satisfaction.
