I believe in a flexible and pragmatic approach to change that focuses on each client's needs. My technique balances insight, active collaboration and positive exploration. I help clients to create practices that affect real change in the present. I see life's difficulties as challenges that further growth and depth. I've trained and worked in a number of contexts and with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, and relationship challenges and growth. I also work with issues of creating a substantive, meaningful life within the distractions of modernity.

I work with people who are looking for a professional to talk to about their anxiety, their thoughts, their hopes and their dreams. I have over 25 years of experience working with people who want to make changes and understand themselves better. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to work through things that may be blocking you from being happy and realizing your dreams. Telehealth available.

As a clinical therapist, my purpose is to center clients in the awareness that they MATTER in the world. For over 25 years I have run a private practice in New York City, working with individuals, couples and groups. My office provides a safe environment for clients to speak openly; to identify and resolve personal challenges and conflicts in order to rediscover and reach their fullest potential - leading to a joyous, healthier life. My practice is grounded in the principles of interpersonal/relational therapy, somatic experience (SE), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Goal Oriented Therapy, Spirituality, and EMDR.

All people seeking therapy should be met with compassion and empathy in a safe and non-judgemental space. I take a strengths-based, collaborative approach to therapy to help those coping with life's challenges increase their wellbeing and meet their goals. I work with clients of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, alcohol and/or substance use disorders, ADHD, trauma, identity, relationship problems, and life transitions.

Wherever you are on your path, I am here to meet and walk with you. I have had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate grief, anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, depression, body image issues, eating disorders, sexuality and gender, and life transitions. Therapy should be a space where growth is collaborative, creative, and safe. Healing can look and feel differently for everyone, which is why I prioritize a kind, calm, and supportive space for you to explore what your healing looks like. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself, with support and no judgement. Change is possible.

We all encounter difficult stressors, setbacks, and challenging moments in life, which is normal. Whether you'd like to improve your relationships, mood, or need support coping with a difficult circumstance I can help. I'm an empathic, supportive and active therapist with 10 years of post-graduate experience working with individuals and couples from a variety of cultures and backgrounds. My passion lies in helping and motivating individuals to create positive changes which improve their quality of life. I provide a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment where together we will work to address the issues that you are faced with.

I am a very experienced trauma therapist, specializing in treating young adults suffering from PTSD, abuse in narcissistic relationships, codependency, break ups, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ issues, divorce, and work place problems, using cognitive behavioral work, EMDR and IFS. My approach is eclectic and interactive, blending a combination of techniques. Non-judgment and warmth in a holistic frame describes my style. I also am trained in ADHD coaching, NLP, hypnosis, and other modalities designed for you to develop better coping skills. This is not a cookie cutter approach. It is a treatment custom made to meet your needs.

Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems. I will help you to figure out the source of your problems, and find solutions. For twenty-four years I've worked with a wide range of patients with a variety of issues. I've taught Psychology at Smith College, and graduate students and candidates at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center.

Friction between our internal reality and the external world is often a significant source of stress in our lives. Who we are is often the source of our greatest strengths, but it can also leave us feeling unseen or invalidated by the world around us. These experiences can lead to feeling unseen, invalidated, or threatened by our families, communities, or society as a whole. Depression, anxiety, and other feelings are the natural result. Despite this, our sense of self and our identities may guide us to developing our lives so they reflect the way we want to live.

Do you want to learn a new and healthier way of being in the world? Many people come to therapy because they are using old coping skills that helped them survive difficult experiences, but no longer serve them now that they are out of that situation. Instead of feeling shame about these anxious, fearful, or angry responses, I help patients accept those parts of themselves while also strengthening parts that seek love and growth. We’ll also explore how traumatic experiences don’t just happen at the interpersonal level, but often result from larger systems of oppression, which we can then internalize.

I can help you when you are: Feeling depressed, sad, panicky or anxious. Having difficulty with work/school, breaking up a relationship or seeking how to repair a relationship. Just wanting to be heard and understood. Seeking to make positive transitions, self-growth and improve yourself. I offer: Psychotherapy that can be the best for "YOU". Psychological insights, help find ways to cope with stress and best solutions. Finding a perfect therapist is a courageous important first step to achieving your goal! My practice is located in NYC, Westchester and Long Island. I will respond your inquiry within 24 hours.

Life can be difficult at times. For many of us protecting ourselves from knowing our suffering can take the form of troubling emotional symptoms, self-destructiveness as well as anxieties and inhibitions. Yet it is precisely these symptoms we must take the time to listen to as messages communicating something essential and understandable about our suffering, fears, and wishes - the emotional meanings of our personal history. By listening to you closely and carefully, we will explore together thoughts and feelings that were previously unknown to you yet powerfully affect your life. Talking changes the way things look.

As a clinician, the therapeutic process is only meaningful and complete with the reciprocity and engagement of those I work with. Each individual is unique and their stories are interwoven with a rich tapestry of diverse emotions. By balancing the abstract, creative, philosophical, and introspective aspects of life with friendliness, compassion, empathy and care, I walk the path with you on your journey toward peace and happiness.

The decision to begin psychotherapy is a courageous act. I admire those willing to begin a journey towards transformation, and I am honored to walk beside them in their pursuit for happier, more productive and successful lives. For individuals and couples, a psychotherapeutic experience is an opportunity to heal painful wounds, improve communication, increase awareness and insight into one's emotional life, and open oneself to new and better experiences. No matter the presenting problem, psychotherapy can be a deeply rewarding and life-altering experience. I am a clinical psychologist, who utilizes various techniques and interventions.

First, I invite you to learn more about me and my work by visiting my website. If you think we may be a match, we can arrange a complimentary 15-minute consultation. I offer this because I believe entering psychotherapy can be one of the most important, life-altering decisions you ever make. Your decision to go into therapy probably was not easy, and the choice of a therapist deserves even greater consideration. You must, in addition to evaluating a therapist’s training and experience, find the right person. Success depends on a good “match” requiring empathy, trust, safety, and respect, sometimes spiced with humor and playfulness.

I help people sort through parts of life that feel 'stuck' and work to identify skills to move forward. In particular, my work has focused on helping people improve their relationships with food, their bodies, and the culture that has dictated the most harmful elements of this relationship. I have training in both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, and my practice leans into values-driven Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I welcome clients from all identities, and make space to address the impact of explicit and internalized biases.

I meet my clients where they are through an acceptance, holistic, client-centered, and nonjudgmental perspective. I integrate multiple approaches including psychodynamic, acceptance-based, and values in order to guide my clients towards healing and growth. I tailor evidence-based and effective treatments to the needs of my clients. My style is collaborative, open, and curious. I want to foster comfort for my clients. Together we can create space that feels safe for you. My goal is to find a pathway in understanding ourselves in the service of finding and achieving our true values and happiness.
