I'm a licensed and published psychoanalyst (NPAP-New York) and can help you look deeply at the origins of your pain, conflicts and confusion so you can experience more peace and satisfaction with yourself, your relationships and your work. I believe change is always possible, and understand it takes courage to ask for help. My approach will help you remember who you are and what you need to resolve in order to thrive. I will listen deeply, and provide insight, direction and support to help you recognize and overcome self defeating patterns and build on your particular strengths.

I utilize a non-judgmental and collaborative approach to assist people in increasing their self-knowledge to create positive change.

I offer compassionate, insight-oriented psychotherapy as well as psychological testing for adults. My treatment methods include talk therapy, journaling/homework, use of projectives, cognitive-behavioral therapy, intellectual and personality assessments, and group therapy. Additionally, I offer a short-term anger management education and therapy program.

My work as a therapist is to empower and motivate people to access inner resources to lead fulfilling lives, explore emotional experience and its personal meaning, find wellness and harmony in relationships, and grow and change in alignment with their ideals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship opens the door to honest and fruitful self-exploration. Engagement in this relationship mirrors patterns of social interaction in a person's life, illuminating emotional experience and relationship patterns. This approach produces long-term improvements for people suffering from a variety of personal and interpersonal conflicts.

I am here as a counselor to provide a safe space to listen and understand. My goals are to establish the counselor/client relationship you are seeking. I am here to listen to what you need, to implement these needs and goals into the moment and the future. We can work together through problem solving, EFT, CBT, mindfulness, yoga therapy, and practicing implementing positive coping skills.

Together we will explore issues and obstacles so that you can feel better and work toward a healthier, happier way of living. I will help you gain greater insight into the problems you face, to increase self confidence, learn problem solving skills and effective ways of coping with stress. We will examine patterns in your life that may be affecting your relationships, the way you think about yourself, and limiting your ability to achieve the changes that you want to make.

A neuropsychological evaluation can provide valuable information regarding an individual's current and future cognitive functioning. My work involves the assessment of cognition across a wide span of central nervous system disorders including neurodegenerative conditions (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's dementia), traumatic brain injury (TBI), substance abuse, epilepsy, and neurotoxin exposure. Importantly, my specialty examines the relationship between brain disease and cognition while differentiating the contribution of psychological factors such as depression or anxiety. I also perform medicolegal independent examinations.

I provide individual and family therapy for children, adolescents and adults. I work to develop a trusting relationship with each individual based on acceptance, understanding and mutual respect. Since I have expertise in a variety of treatment approaches, I can collaborate with each individual or family to provide treatment that aligns with the individual or family goals and needs. The process of healing and growth often involves gaining more understanding of oneself and one's family, learning how to draw on existing strengths and resources, gaining confidence, and/or learning new skills.

Wounds leave scars. The internal wounds can sometimes be the hardest to heal. A therapist who builds trust and relationship through validation, mindfulness, awareness, and honesty can help. Using an attachment based perspective, I will walk through your pain with you. Relationship is essential to any successful therapy experience, and I focus on building rapport, trust and understanding, not only between myself and my client, but their own understanding of themselves, what is happening, and why. Facing our own inner truth can be one of the most difficult and frightening experiences of our lives. It can also be the most rewarding.
