Good therapy focuses on helping people overcome obstacles to living a productive and fulfilling life -- whether in relationships, work, or creative self-expression. As a psychotherapist in practice for 25+ years, my aim is to create an environment where patients can learn about themselves, grow, and, most important, change. My work has been guided by my social work background and psychoanalytic training, and has been deeply influenced by my connection to dance and the arts. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds who struggle with anxiety, depression, personality problems, bereavement, life-threatening illnesses, and family/relationship issues.

Life comes with countless peaks and valleys, ups and downs. Having the space to ventilate your feelings is important to better understand your emotions and those around you. Therapy can help you confront challenges - whether it is frequent anxiety at work, low self esteem, or relationship set-backs - and master the skills and attain the self-awareness to succeed. We can work together to help you achieve your individual goals.

When life becomes overwhelming, therapy becomes an opportunity to identify barriers to satisfaction, manage the difficulties you are experiencing, and to feel better. I understand that finding the right therapist takes time and making the first call is difficult. When you are ready to do so, I can help you decide how and when you'd like to begin. I offer a warm and supportive space in which you can safely express your worries and concerns. My encouraging and interactive style allows you to explore your circumstances, while equipping you with coping skills to manage when feeling overwhelmed.

Anxiety and depression over this worldwide crisis is completely understandable. Teletherapy allows your sessions to be safe in the comfort of your home.

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) is a type of "third wave" CBT and is often incorporated.

I'd be honored to work together, to earn your trust to use insight-oriented psychotherapy and other effective techniques to help you restore hope and find relief.

In a safe and collaborative setting, we'll find solutions to specific situational difficulties or lifelong, entrenched problems. We'll begin lifting emotional burdens that, on your own, you might never have thought possible. And, find the delight in an "aha!" moment that leads to substantive change for the better.

I'm a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with more than 35 years of experience. My goal is to enable my clients to better understand themselves and their hidden emotional conflicts. Self-awareness and self-knowledge are empowering because our deepest desires for love, connectedness, and achievement are typically tangled up in bad feelings - like shame, guilt or anxiety -- that obstruct us from pursuing their fulfillment. These bad feelings are often based on unrealistic ideas, the residues of childhood experience. I work with clients to disentangle their vital wishes from these constraints so that they can live more authentic and creative lives.

I am reaching out my hand during this uncertain time to help you feel supported and to find relief. You may be simultaneously processing the past, coping with today's challenges, and striving towards dreams for your future. That can feel overwhelming! All of that deserves time and space. Therapy can help you process all of this. I offer support and guidance as you express your thoughts and feelings and harness your inner wisdom. Together we listen to everything that is hard to say. I'd like to help you remove obstacles that are keeping you from living life to its fullest.

My practice offers a safe and relaxing space to begin the psychotherapeutic journey. As a college professor and clinician for many years I offer a wide range of therapeutic approaches that go beyond talk therapy: such as mindfulness practice, mind/body awareness skills, and other psycho-educational practices. I think that good clinical treatment resides in the therapeutic relationship informed by the latest research on the brain and the gut and an overall multi-modal approach to the person(s) sitting across from me.

Life is too short to feel stuck and not live fully. My clients and I work collaboratively on relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, job related stress, and trauma. I often work with men and women who either want to find love in their lives or who have recently experienced a loss of relationship through a painful break up. I have successfully helped clients getting "unstuck" and moving forward in their lives, work, and relationships. My approach is client-centered and relational. I relate to you based on your needs, your temperament, and your personal histories.

I am a clinical psychologist offering depth psychotherapy to individuals. I enjoy working with people from a broad range of life experiences who bring to therapy their own unique struggles. In my time as a therapist, I have found that the weekly process of putting oneself into words can help make long-term shifts, by opening up new ways of thinking and feeling and expanding one’s understanding of oneself in the world.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process. I believe it is important to feel at ease in order to do the work therapy entails. I provide a comfortable, down-to-earth environment that will allow you to develop insight, find more choices in your life, and to build self confidence. I have advanced training in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, however unlike classical analysis I do not act as a blank screen and have a contemporary approach.

No one should have to go through their problems alone. I believe therapy is for everyone, as none of us go through life unaffected by its many complexities. This is no weakness: it's part of being human. Life often has a way of making us feel alone, misunderstood, or strange. Situations arise that make us feel unloved, empty, disconnected, or isolated. This can be changed. I work collaboratively, and come from a place of deep respect and empathy. I let the client guide me in what I consider to be an egalitarian journey. My goal is that each person feels safe, seen, and heard.
