As an adopted person, my 30 plus years' experience using inner child work, researching, and supporting fellow adopted persons and mothers of adoption loss has given me a unique insight into the struggles of adoption, the primal wound, reunion preparation, reunion difficulties, and the impact of early childhood trauma. I am the author of five adoption related books, three of which have been translated into Chinese, German and Korean.

To accept life's major changes with grace and dignity can be excruciatingly difficult. And yet, it is a challenge to welcome because when approached with careful consideration, it invites self-definition and intentional living. Are psychic wounds or limiting self-beliefs holding you back? What matters most to you? The Chinese sage, Lao Tsu, said, "If you don't change direction, you will end up where you are heading." Are you happy with your direction? If not, come see me. I listen carefully and help you find your way. I am an active, fully-engaged therapist.

My client may have one or more addictions and seeks a sober lifestyle, has tried other avenues that have failed.

I believe that Psychotherapy is an in-depth collaborative creative process which allows freer and freer self-expression to create and expand therapeutic spaces, untold stories to be told, contradictions to be bridged, and emotions to be re-touched and re-experienced while integrating body-mind communication. I encourage you to access and mobilize the Cs of therapy in you, i.e. a commitment and connection with yourself, the curiosity to explore and understand your experiences and your creativity to open spaces and invent new journeys.

I have been in private practice for more than 15 years and pride myself on helping individuals develop a strong sense of identity. I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The New School for Social Research and have extensive training from Beth Israel Medical Center, North Central Bronx Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital, and New York Presbyterian Hospital. I practice in Westport, CT, and Manhattan, NY. I work with families, adults, children, and adolescents suffering from mood, anxiety, and eating disorders, and help cope with life transitions, including parenthood, divorce, emerging adulthood, medical illness, and end-of-life.

In my current virtual practice I am working with many age groups dealing with the anxiety of trying to cope: with getting ready for college; with city life and roommates; with relationship partners; with making decisions to move ahead with relationship commitment, or not and if so, how; all ages attempting to cope with remote work and cramped living arrangements; and the pain and changed nature of our current city life. I help patients seeking relationships, fixing them and leaving them.

Clients describe me as warm, engaging and invested in joining them in their wish to feel better and to live in ways that more closely resemble who they want to be. I work with individuals and families dealing with a variety of challenges: anxiety and depression, difficulties in relationships with partners, sexual orientation and parenting dilemmas as well as general struggles with life. My orientation is psychodynamic and relational and I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques into my work. My intent is to establish a warm and compassionate environment that fosters a sense of safety and trust.

Finding an environment that is unbiased, open-minded and strength-driven is important when it comes to creating a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative and catered to your unique needs. I believe that clients are experts in their own experiences, and as your therapist, I am here to accompany you as you navigate challenges and change. As a helper, I am an admirer of human strength, emotion and vulnerability. I will help you through, integrating your values and goals. I hope that I can mitigate your worry, and I encourage you to reach out to see if my approaches are right for you.

With over three decades of experience, I have the privilege to provide therapy to those seeking help with an eating disorder, anxiety, depression as well as relationship issues.

Sessions are aimed at developing confidence, self esteem and identified goals that bring you health and joy. I understand that trust and confidentiality are the cornerstones of the courageous journey to healing allowing patients to move a richer and more meaningful life.

Comprendre et dépasser l’émotionnel Être psychothérapeute requiert une grande curiosité, un renouvellement permanent des idées et une volonté d’ouverture vers d’autres formes de cure. J’intègre un traitement axé spécifiquement sur l’exploration en profondeur de l’émotion qui inhibe et bloque l’équilibre personnel et familial. Je participe activement pendant les séances tout en respectant les émotions de mes patients sans jugement ni contrainte. Je m’intéresse profondément à la vie de chacun, aux cheminements passés et présents. Nous travaillons ensemble et formant une equipe solide.

Psychothérapeute psychodynamique française à NY. Je travaille avec les adultes ainsi que les enfants/ados. Je suis formée en thérapie pour deuil compliqué et persistant, ainsi que les problèmes de psychologie maternelle: deuil périnatal, dépression, angoisse durant la grossesse et post-partum. Avec les enfants, je travaille principalement sur les troubles du déficit de l'attention, l'anxiété, la régulation émotionnelle et comportementale, le deuil, et les compétences socio-affectives. Ayant vécu dans 4 pays différents, je comprends bien les soucis uniques de la communauté internationale à New York (choc de cultures, etc).

Mon cabinet s'occupe principalement d'adolescents et de jeunes adultes. Une de mes plus grandes qualités est de pouvoir établir des liens avec des personnes, être à leur écoute sans les juger et avoir de la compassion pour ces individus. Beaucoup de jeunes de nos jours sont à la recherche de conseils et d'une meilleure compréhension de qui ils sont, de ce qu'ils ressentent, de leurs réactions instinctives et de comment mieux pouvoir se comprendre afin de grandir grâce à cette introspection cruciale. Pouvoir les aider à travers cette expérience transformatrice est mon point fort.

Peut-être que vous vous sentez deconnecté(e) de vous même, ou que vous avez du mal à connaître vos désirs, ou que vous n'êtes pas satisfait(e) dans vos rapports avec les autres. Vous avez aussi peut-être des difficultés liées à l'expatriation. Nous travaillerons ensemble pour comprendre les raisons de ce qui vous amène en thérapie et pour vous aider à faire les changements qui vous donnerons accès à une vie plus épanouissante. Dans les séances, je mets en avant un sens de securité pour vous permettre de parler librement et vous exprimer comme vous ne l'avez peut-être jamais fait.
