I believe that growth and change are achieved by shedding light on those sides of ourselves that we are not in direct contact with. I hope to empower my clients by helping them become more self-attuned and use their intuition effectively in relationships and goals. I am passionate about addressing overwhelming anxiety and panic, paralyzing perfectionism or procrastination, intense sadness or anger, unhealthy habits, illness or somatic symptoms, recurring relationship problems, and identity concerns. I rely on classical, relational, play, and bodymind psychodynamic approaches and am a major proponent of in-person psychotherapy.

As social beings, our most intimate relationships—with partners, family members, and ourselves—have an immense impact on us, our wellbeing, and our daily functioning. When those relationships are good, we feel good, and when they feel off, we feel off, too. As such, I am a relationship-oriented therapist who strives to work collaboratively with my clients to help them develop relationships that are affirming, fulfilling, and supportive.

Ideal clients respect the boundaries of the relationship and know when and how to use their therapist (who helps). It's an old joke that people come to therapy because of someone else who really needs it, but to me, we're all a little (or a lot) blind to our own stuff. Therapy is, or should be, a safe place. Most seasoned therapists are still in it because they find it effective and personally gratifying. I guess I'm one.

My trauma-informed, body-based approach centers compassion, harm reduction, and gender-affirming care, helping LGBTQIA+ clients—especially trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive folks—move toward healing and resilience.

FREE Consult. Do results matter to you? Everyone I see has OCD, Panic, Agoraphobia, PTSD, or Social Anxiety. These conditions are extremely treatable with the RIGHT kind of Drug-Free CBT Exposure therapy. I aim to eliminate symptoms, not just treat or manage them. Clients are liberated to move on with life, get married, prevent divorce or firing, have families, advance careers, resume friendships, or return children to school, often in the middle of therapy. Therapy doesn't stop at the door. I contact my clients after every session to check on them. I do teletherapy in 43 states, and in-person in New York and New Jersey.

Marriage Whisperer! That's what a recent couple called me after one of our sessions. The reality is that I've been fortunate to be trained by Harville Hendrix, an expert in the field of couple's therapy and the founder of Imago Relationship Therapy. Imago therapy is a state-of-the-art system that gives couples of all kinds, the knowledge, and most importantly, the TOOLS to help each other give and receive the love they want. I work with couples both in my office, and in the weekend "Getting the Love You Want" workshops.

You care deeply about your family, and you want to feel close and connected, but instead you may be feeling lonely, frustrated, or confused. You want to be a good parent, but it can be hard if you didn’t have good enough parents. But I believe you can learn to be a nurturing parent and attentive partner.
New parents often experience fatigue, disconnection, or resentment in their relationship. You’ll begin exploring what it means to be a parent, how you were raised, and whether you want to repeat those patterns. Maybe your parents frequently made you feel unsafe, unloved, or worthless.
