We all struggle to improve our lives - to change and grow in ways that make us feel more fulfilled. As a psychotherapist for over 20 years, I often see people who are stuck, in unsatisfying relationships or jobs, alcohol/drug dependence or struggling with anxiety, depression or fears that hold them back from living more fully. My background in fine arts and personal experience as a painter has made me especially attuned to issues of artists who feel blocked in their creativity. Helping people with inhibitions in expressing feelings and asserting themselves is another area of interest.

We work with compassion, understanding, and innovation to discover new possibilities during our work with you in English or Spanish, and we are licensed to work in NJ and NY.

Do you find yourself burdened by stress or pressure from work, family, finances or personal health? Have you experienced a traumatic event or personal pain? As a clinician with 14 years of work experience in supporting various, different patient populations connecting with me for support can be very helpful.

My psychoanalytic training and my 20 years work experience has taught me the importance of understanding the full individual and his/her own unique experience in the world. In therapy, I provide a supportive environment that focuses on symptom-reduction while also exploring underlying roots of emotional discomfort. I encourage self-exploration, emotional processing and self-acceptance. I believe in helping clients understand how their past experiences impacts their lives, and in utilizing the therapeutic relationship to foster clients' growth and self-fulfillment. I find psychotherapy to be powerful and exciting and I consider it a privilege to help people strive for their potential.

Hello and welcome to my psychotherapy practice. I have a quiet office in midtown Manhattan. It is a safe supportive space to address the difficulties that you would like to resolve and gain strength from your increasing self-awareness. There is within all of us, great potential to access our inner resources and live a more rewarding and fulfilling life. Yet all too often emotional concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, fears, eating disorders, blockages that hold us back from action, and even old habits prevent us from being the person we would like to be.

Successful treatment depends on the connection between you and the clinician.This is why I offer a complimentary,brief, session for us to meet and decide if working together feels right. I have been in the field of mental health for 28 years.My approach is, psychodynamic but tailor treatment arround my client's needs. My style is supportive yet analytical, direct, and active in sessions. This practice treats adults older than 21, and couples,no children or adolescents. Accept traditional Medicare,and most out of network plans.Medicaid not accepted as it doesnt cover private psychotherapy treatment.

Our practice can help with various mental health issues, emotional challenges, and psychiatric disorders. We aim to enable clients to understand their feelings. What makes you feel positive? Anxious? Or depressed? The reality is that the truth can at times, be painful. However;  if you decide to engage in psychotherapy, you will ultimately find more personal happiness and healthier relationships. The goal of psychotherapy is not to change you, change is your choice, but we will provide the needed support to enable you to build awareness, compassion, understanding, respect, empathy and acceptance toward yourself and others.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!! I believe that the quality of the counseling relationship is the most important factor in creating positive personal change in one’s life. As a person-centered counselor, I utilize my extensive empathy, genuineness and non-judgmental ways of being to create a safe, warm and authentic counseling experience. I view each person through a holistic approach, meaning I aim to bring clarity and align all parts of a person including the mind, body, spirit, heart and emotions.

Welcome! Are you feeling stuck and unable to find a way to break patterns that you know are keeping you from living a full life? Are you struggling in your relationship or marriage? Do you want to improve your overall health but don't know where to start? My approach to therapy is a holistic one...meeting each person where he/she is, and integrating the powers of human connection, spirituality, and overall wellness, according to each individual's needs. I foster a supportive, nurturing therapeutic environment for each person, so that he/she can feel free to grow in his/her own strengths and goals.

The relationship between the therapist and client is the most important predictor of a successful experience in counseling. I treat adults, adolescents, and couples who are experiencing difficulty with anxiety, depression, addiction, divorce, relationships, anger, loss and trauma. I engender an environment of trust and support for clients in a safe, therapeutic atmosphere where clients can feel comfortable discussing personal issues. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and motivational enhancement, as well as protocols for addiction, including smoking cessation.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space for individuals to share their story in a non-judgmental environment. While providing support to clients, I will assist clients in setting realistic, achievable goals while validating their experiences. Therapy is a journey and my role is to motivate, encourage, and travel with the client. Whether we look at our lives as a series of chapters or stories, I believe in adding new chapters of change and exploration. We may even write completely new stories.

You or someone you care about may be going through a difficult time. I will create a safe and nurturing environment where we can process thoughts and feelings about life stressors and challenges, gain new insights and work towards new possibilities. Together we will work to develop compassionate curiosity while balancing change with self-acceptance.

My expertise is informed by more than 10 years in clinical practice as well as over 25 years in Human Service Practice skills. I am very compassionate and value the capacity for individuals to reach their highest desires. When conflicts are experienced in life, they can certainly be immobilizing. It is at this turning point when having a professional "outside voice" that can listen, provide guidance in a non-judgmental setting, and assist with making healthy choices will become an asset to you.

As a therapist with over 30 years of experience and certified Yoga and meditation instructor, I draw from a range of approaches to help clients manage their grief, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I have a compassionate and collaborative style. I assist my clients in learning the relaxation skills that can foster increased inner peace and clarity. My customized approach has helped hundreds of individuals and couples develop both insight into the issues they are confronting and strategies for achieving positive resolution.
