Live the life you've always wanted. Life presents us with opportunities and challenges, but what often thwarts us from realizing those opportunities and overcoming those challenges is ourselves. I am an empathic, psychoanalytically- trained therapist with 25 years of experience who will work with you to overcome fears and unravel the knots of the past and present, so that you can fully realize the authentic life you so desire and deserve. Over the years, I have helped people from all walks of life deal with issues ranging from anxiety, depression, family stress, life transitions and more.

I specialize in the treatment of adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, and other struggles interfering with overall life satisfaction. I also work with older adolescents, including college students as well as couples.

Is something getting in the way of your feeling free, feeling joyful, feeling well? Are you suffering from a recent loss? Let's explore what might be inhibiting your sense of well-being and help you grow. It would be a privilege to embark on this journey with you; the opportunity to share in this meaningful and creative work of growth and transformation is not a commitment I take lightly.

With a warm, thoughtful, and focused style, I aim to create a safe space in which we can collaboratively explore your difficulties and make sense out of what feels overwhelming or impossible to change. Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, difficulties in relationships, or any other kind of emotional pain, sharing the process of understanding yourself better can also change how you experience yourself and others, and make other changes possible.

I believe growth occurs in an atmosphere of respect, compassion, and a belief in the human capacity for healing and change. With this belief, trust, and a collaborative effort, we work together to get "un-stuck" and move towards the resolution of life challenges. My approach to therapy emphasizes insight, self-awareness, and empowerment for the promotion of a more integrated self.

Do you need to move forward in your life? I can help you to understand how the negative beliefs you hold about yourself may be preventing you from taking the steps you need to take in your personal life or career. I work hard to help my clients feel heard, understood, and safe in my office, recognizing that it is only in the context of a warm and nonjudgmental relationship that it is possible to explore the most difficult issues in a person's life--issues both unique to each individual and, in some sense, common to all of us as human beings.

I've been in practice for decades, helping adolescents, grown-ups, and couples during that time. People come to me with all kinds of issues, and we've worked closely together to find solutions, whether that involves learning new ways to look at relationship difficulties, or methods for regulating problematic emotions, to career-related struggles and just getting rid of bad habits. I have exceptional training and vast experience.

Our focus is on the lives of men & couples. We consult men who are angry; who feel stuck, bored & unfulfilled despite best intentions & hard work; who are restless, depressed and unmotivated, lacking support or appropriate role models in their lives; or who feel that they suffer for the "nice guy syndrome". In our work with (hetero and same-sex) couples we highlight the key problems in the married, pre-marital or dating couple, and offer the ways in which they can be reversed, minimized or eliminated. Our couples' frequent concerns center around infidelity, blame, arguing, power imbalances & doubts about staying in the relationship

Starting psychotherapy can be an exciting and anxiety-provoking process as you take active steps to make changes in your life and relationships. I approach psychotherapy as a collaboration and work in an integrative way, tailoring interventions to individual needs. I believe that therapy's aim is not only to make improvements but also to manage disappointments. To this end, we can simultaneously engage in meaningful explorations while developing important coping skills, including mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. I offer individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to adults, children, and adolescents, and work with different family and relationship configurations.

In my work I stress empathy, mutuality, and openness. I see people with issues ranging from depression, to relationship concerns, and to problems of adjustment in work and life. I am straight but considered gay friendly and have a number of lesbian and gay patients. Most of my work is with adults ranging from late adolescence to old age. I also have a specialty of seeing couples in crisis.

Life can be overwhelming and most of us do not have the space or the support we need to cope with life challenges. As a therapist , I provide a safe space for clients to engage in the process of self-discovery. I put a lot of emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as I believe this relationship is the catalyst for change. I like to meet clients where they are at while providing the support and structure they need. I consider myself to be emphatic, honest and non-judgmental. I strive to provide my clients with compassionate and high-quality counseling.

I am a licensed Social Worker and Certified Life Coach committed to working with adults to break through limiting barriers and help achieve their optimum potential in their personal and professional lives. My clinical approach addresses issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and career transitions. Patient and compassionate I encourage and motivate my clients through challenging and upfront conversation. Life and work balance can be difficult to manage. Proper tools and the ability to use effective coping strategies can support you to interact with these situations in a much healthier manner.

I create an open, empathetic, non-judgmental space and draw from a variety of philosophies and modalities including: psychodynamic, CBT, trauma-informed, somatic, feminist and relational approaches, and art and play therapy. I bring an awareness of and curiosity about the impacts of systemic oppression, historical trauma, and early childhood experiences, to work with you to move towards goals of your choosing, whether those be internal or external. I have worked most with teens, parents, families, and young adults, from a variety of race and class backgrounds, and in particular Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.
