During this stressful time with quarantining I'm accepting new patients for both telephone sessions and Skype. I have expertise in this.
About
I'm a highly skilled psychotherapist. Formerly, the Chief Psychiatric Social Worker, at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where I supervised residents, medical students and social workers. I work hard to help you resolve your problems. I'm a caring professional, both empathic and interactive. I fine tune my approach based on your needs as well as your concerns. I'm trained in both brief, supportive as well as insight oriented therapy and use my extensive training to help patients get both symptomatic relief, and a better understanding of underlying issues.
I enjoy working with both individuals and couples that struggle with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, identity, parenting and work problems. Along with my expertise in individual, couples, family and group psychotherapy, I also have a certificate from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy.
