Having practiced for more than 40 years in NYC, and now in White Plains, NY and Stamford, CT, I work primarily with patients suffering from panic attacks and/or other anxiety disorders and depression. These are highly treatable conditions and I see fairly rapid progress. I also teach assertiveness and communication skills to enhance relationships. Being successfully married for 47 years, I bring a wealth of personal experience to couples counseling. Therapy is centered on giving people the tools they need to move on and enjoy their lives. I prefer face to face sessions, but also do phone sessions and/or video sessions when needed.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. My areas of specialty include anxiety and mood disorders, parenting support, and navigating life transitions with an approach that emphasizes the strengths and individual factors of each client. I offer individual and family therapy, diagnostic assessments, and consultation.

Isn’t this the worst?! Has something just happened and you feel like you’ve had enough and are going to try therapy? At some point in our lives we have all felt not good enough, not like ourselves or worried about the future or social situations. It can be really painful to go through your daily life feeling overwhelmed and inadequate.

***RELATIONSHIPS*** "Are you questioning whether or not to stay in your relationship? Is your couple communication highly reactive or flat-lined? ***ADDICTIONS*** Are you in a love hate dance with food, sex, alcohol or drugs? ***PARENTING*** Are you at your wits end with your teens? ***BUSINESS*** Do you want a higher return from your staff or employees? Is your management and/or leadership style too rigid or too yielding? Is it hard to understand why people react to you the way they do? ***SPIRITUALITY*** Are you longing for more meaning and purpose in your life?"

The approach I take with clients is based on their immediate needs and their goals for treatment, and includes a combination of insight-oriented and goal-directed interventions. I work with people of all ages, and have expertise in a broad range of difficulties. I believe that an effective treatment requires curiosity, patience, and dedication from both parties.

I realize that the decision to begin therapy is not always an easy one and what happens in therapy can be difficult to put into words. Put simply, therapy is about letting your voice be heard. You can reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in the presence of someone who will listen in a non-judgmental way. My expectations of my clients are simple - that they attend their scheduled sessions and that they are honest. In return, I will be an attentive and emotionally present ally, helping you learn more effective ways to approach daily struggles.

I believe that the power for change resides in each individual and that therapy can promote and facilitate desired changes through the collaborative therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a safe environment and relationship within which each individual can explore old patterns of relating and create new relational capacities. I have 23 years of experience and expertise treating depression, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse, divorce adjustment, parenting as well as couples therapy. I have post-doctoral training and teach new therapists at the post-doc level. In addition to psychotherapy.
