I work with each client to identify sources of distress and dissatisfaction in their lives, and to overcome obstacles to living a healthy and happy life. I begin therapy by gaining a clear understanding of your strengths as well as areas for growth, and building a strong working alliance. Together we identify therapy goals and formulate a plan to achieve them. I combine cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, DBT and humanistic approaches to tailor a unique therapy plan for each individual. My approach involves listening carefully and asking questions to help guide you to greater understanding about yourself and to make the changes that you seek.

I believe that change and healing come through relationships; our relationship with self as well as our relationships with others. It is because of this belief that I approach my work as a collaborative venture that requires large amounts of both compassion and curiosity. It is my goal to create an atmosphere where these qualities can be nurtured and to provide the individual with the support and space to reflect on old patterns of behavior and the opportunity to respond in new ways that allow for a more fully realized and authentic way of living.

It is through congruence, a genuine ability to empathize and to be compassionate, that I believe is how an organic developing therapeutic relationship manifests. My style’s core foundation revolves around a collaboration between Rogerian Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). It is with an open heart that I invite you to give yourself an opportunity at enhancing your quality of life through the process of self-discovery.

Psychoanalysis offers change, through a depth of work that explores and engages with patterns of behavior/ambivalence; allowing for grieving.
I am a creative, dynamic psychoanalyst, who has a background in Fine Art. I have practiced for over 15 years with a wide range of patients with a primary focus on creating a space to allow for the work to start to acknowledge, engage and integrate different parts of themselves - leading in time to a more fulfilling and informed life. This is difficult, often painful work. In a way, you come in to this to have to fail, to let go of who you think you should be (past and present) and find ways to see where you are rather than where you are not. It is a journey akin to entering the green world of Shakespeare, unchartered territory.

My process starts with a person-centered approach to build comfort and openness and integrates techniques and theories from psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and problem-focused therapies.
If you're seeking therapy, chances are that you're looking for a change or to find ways to cope with your struggles. My approach in therapy is to do my best to understand you and help you toward healing and growth. I've found one of the most powerful things people gain from therapy is recognizing that you're not alone and that change is possible. I have training and experience working with individuals and couples of various identities, backgrounds, and cultures and understand the importance of not having your experiences feel dismissed.

If you feel stuck in the same unproductive problems and feelings around work, relationships, or any other issue that's important to you, I may be able to help you get to a better place. Many of my patients have considerable insight into their situation, but most find it difficult to change unproductive patterns, or "will" themselves into feeling better. You can break out of the circles of behavior that leave you feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. As a therapist, it is my job to help you gain awareness of unconscious roadblocks and help you tap into your natural ability to heal.

At some time in life, everyone feels overwhelmed and looks for a path to a happier, more comfortable day-to-day routine. That is different for everybody, and regardless of your individual needs, I can help you reach your goals. Change is not easy. When change involves mental health including anxiety and depression, substance abuse, or addressing negative behavioral patterns, it is necessary to involve a mental health professional.

I help clients make concrete behavior changes for steady improvement, and also partner with you to build lasting life insight.
NOTE: I now accept insurance through Headway.co for clients in New York State ONLY -- If that changes for clients in other states, I will update here. How we think about our history, experiences, and relationships can center us, or can throw us off-balance and cause us to get stuck. I help clients examine how they are spending their time and energy and help them to make manageable change in line with their values. As we work together, we will uncover what it is you value -- what is important to you. We will work together to make shifts to increase happiness and lead to greater connectedness and clarity.

How can we make deeper changes when we are trying to manage unusual pain, or are just handling our day-to-day suffering? When we feel safe and accepted as we are, we can challenge ourselves to grow, and to encounter others in an authentic way. I aim to create, with you, a safe place where we get to know your habitual patterns of behaving and relating, and explore less familiar sides of you that may offer surprising possibilities for thinking, feeling, relating and living. How can deepening awareness enliven, balance, support, un-stick, sustain or change your life? Let's find out!

My treatment approaches include: Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Psychological health is much more than the absence of problems and mental illness. Even when things seem to be going well we may still feel that there is something missing and that our lives lack the happiness, purpose, and vitality that we desire. My approach begins with the identification of your values. This becomes the foundation of our work together. We then explore thoughts and feelings that get in the way of living a more meaningful and satisfying life and replace them with strategies that are more values consistent and effective in the pursuit of a more satisfying life.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
