"At times, therapy can feel necessary in the short-term to help navigate a crisis situation. Other times, it can be a longer process of self-exploration and growth. My goal is to help you tell your story, figure out how to overcome stuckness, and live a more meaningful life in whatever way you define that. We will pay close attention to the patterns that frustrate you, the things you want but can't seem to get, the parts of yourself you want to express but remain hidden or misunderstood."

"I believe in the beauty of healthy living through self understanding. Over the past 40 years, I have developed a unique approach to guiding couples, individuals and families in refining the skills it takes to live and love to the fullest capacity. Let me help you understand yourself and gain new skills that could enhance your life/relationships so you can achieve life's offerings the way you dream of."

"My ideal client(s) is someone who is motivated, honest and serious about acknowledging, addressing and resolving issues (past and present). I take my clients on an emotional journey, back to their disappointments and traumas of the past. I help them to emotionally work through their historical problems (even though we can't change history), Then and only then are people really able to deal with current problems and move forward.. . My clients also need to be comfortable with a therapist who is empathic, directive, engages in conversation and expects people to work hard to improve the quality of their lives."

"I am a highly trained clinical psychologist working with adults of all ages, 18 years and above, with a wide diversity of backgrounds. I consider each person unique, with his/her own values, characteristics, and beliefs, and will work with you to determine the issues and goals most important to you. Sensitive to the impact that ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity can have on one's life, I possess significant experience helping people with relationship difficulties, traumatic experience, depression, anxiety, and substance misuse. I am also experienced in the treatment of chronic mental illness."

"Something happened – something scary and overwhelming – and life hasn’t been the same since. You find yourself avoiding close relationships or social events because you just can’t tolerate the fear that they trigger. You notice that you’re much more reactive than you used to be – loud noises, sudden movements, unexpected events – they all provoke a burst of anxiety. And no matter your intention, no matter how much time passes, you keep reacting, you stay hypervigilant, you look for danger everywhere. When this goes on for some time, it’s easy to become despondent, overwhelmed, and exhausted. This doesn’t feel okay – not anymore."

"Looking for a therapist, and particularly a queer and trans affirming therapist, can be a difficult and often complex process. We want someone who will understand our needs and our background, help us grow and develop new skills, and will support us in making sense of something that remains unsettling, perhaps years after a trauma or thought pattern first emerged."

"Looking to feel better? My approach may be the right fit. With over 15 years of experience, I have the tools to help. My training allows me to work safely and flexibly with each person's unique style and pace. Struggling with a complicated job or relationship? Want to finally rid yourself of painful self-doubt, rumination and depression? Looking for new ways to move past addictions, bad habits and harmful behaviors? You are not alone. I can help."

"As humans, we never stop confronting the adversities of life. Although we cannot control the ups of downs of everyday life, we can learn how to respond to and manage stress and tragedy differently than how we have done so throughout our lives to survive or tolerate the unbearable. Having a safe and supportive place to address past learned behaviors and coping strategies is crucial for self-healing and growth. As a nonjudgmental and empathetic therapist, I work with clients' strengths which often leaves clients feeling more empowered and with a new sense of self."

"I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in depression, anxiety, relationship issues and eating disorders. I have worked in private practice for years and as a consulting therapist with the Eating Disorder Resource Center. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work from Columbia University and advanced study in psychoanalysis from the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health. This training has taught me to appreciate the formative role our early life and family experience plays in our emotional and psychological development. I enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and their emotional struggles and are willing to look more closely at what motivates them."

"Jungian analysis and psychotherapy treat a wide range of life's concerns and issues. Treatment focuses on resolving current difficulties or life changes, exploring relationship patterns or work conflicts, on understanding one's personal history more deeply, and more generally, on personal meaning and an enhanced quality of life. Certified Jungian analysts and psychotherapists are located in the greater New York area, including Westchester, Connecticut and New Jersey. Referrals can also be made to Jungian analysts in the wider United States and many countries throughout the world."

"I enjoy engaging both individuals and couples in a supportive, collaborative and very active, direct and honest exchange. Creating a safe environment in which to explore highly charged uncomfortable, or painful conflict or struggles is paramount. As an individual therapist, I work with patients facing problems in love, work, family, school or trauma. As a trained couples therapist, I work with couples seeking premarital counseling as well as those coping with problematic impasses and issues regarding parenting, infidelity, infertility, sex, retirement and aging. "

"I have been in practice over 35 years and have treated a wide range of life problems for individuals and couples. I encourage my patients to be in charge in every step of their treatment and adapt my approach to each person's individual needs. My style incorporates psychodynamic, cognitive and cognitive-behavioral elements along with the systemic approach."

"It can be a difficult decision to begin therapy. Just taking the first step to begin to find a therapist can feel overwhelming. As you are reading this, you have already taken that important first step. Successful therapy is dependent upon building trust and fostering a collaborative relationship. I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals work through difficult transitions in their lives and to cope with a range of problems including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship obstacles, and struggles related to identity. "

"My work is designed to help people's efforts in unblocking aspects of themselves keeping them from fulfillment and satisfaction, professionally and personally. I also try to uncover those "automatic assumptions" that people feel, but are erroneous, generating behavior that is negative and self-destructive. If you feel badly about yourself, it distorts your behavior, which then effects how others see you. People are often much too hard on themselves, and assume others are as critical. I also try to help people evaluate their relationships, and clarify their's and the other's role in conflicts."

"Are you going through a difficult time in your life, in your relationships, in your job? Are you feeling down, anxious, lonely? Do you need parenting help? Allow me to help you.

I will also strive to enable you to find ways to cope with and resolve difficult dilemmas."

"As a native New Yorker, born and raised on Long Island, living in the city for the last 10 years, I have been connected to the people who choose to live here. A bustling city where, as Frank Sinatra said so well, "if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere". I believe this to be true and I believe it to be easier with the work of psychology."

"Do you want to feel good about yourself in the world; find joys of partnership, love, marriage? Are you in pain due to loss of loved ones; struggling with separation or divorce? Perhaps you need more confidence. Or you need some help with your children. As people age, they often need help with fears of illness, or death for themselves and their loved ones. If any of these issues speak to you, I'm here for you. I work with people of all races, religious affiliations and with the LGBTQ community. I have been referred to as a healing presence."

"I am a contemporary psychoanalytic-psychotherapist and psychoanalyst. Let me explain: in the 21st century, psychoanalytic therapists are not like the old stereotypes. We are caring, empathic people who really listen and respond. I will listen with the deepest empathy. I'll help you resolve painful emotions and conflicts, finding long-lasting solutions to what troubles your heart and mind.
