Therapists Beginning With L in New York
I have worked for over 10 years with individuals from different communities. I believe in my sessions with my patients there should be compassion, no judgment, and a positive mental attitude where no matter how difficult a situation is by working together we can solve the issue. I enjoy using a Cognitive Behavioral Health model with my patients for their symptoms. I also try to work with my patients from a mind, body, spiritual and emotional perspective

I help my clients learn and enhance their abilities to utilize their own strengths in order to overcome issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse, and daily or work related stress. I put in a strong effort to connect with my clients and create a working alliance. The treatment I provide is a collaborative process where we will work together for positive changes. I've spent the last five years training and working with clients at institutions such as New York Presbyterian Hospital, the William Alanson White Institute, New York University, and Cornell Medical College.

I provide therapy and psychological evaluation for high functioning adults and young adults whose careers are wavering, who are handicapped by anxiety or perfectionism, or experiencing a psychological disorder. My main goals are to move them ahead in school or work, or in some realm of their lives. My greatest joy is to see clients mastering their field, attaining personal autonomy, attaining a reasonable work life balance that enhances quality of life. I've supervised dozens of therapists and psychologists or their licensure along the way.

Making the choice to begin therapy can be challenging. The task of working through your inner thoughts can seem daunting, but I would like to be on that journey with you. My approach to therapy is to allow my clients to guide their own sessions while I serve as a support. My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and I enjoy helping people do “inner work”, which is to explore past experiences and to dig deep into their thoughts. I feel treatment should be individualized, because each person is unique in their needs.

Many events in our lives present unique opportunities for change. While some difficulties become evident during transition periods throughout our lifecycle, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or loss of a loved one, ALL are understandable and resolved within the relationships we have in the present. Seeking help isn't admitting defeat- it's simply courageous.

True well-being comes from caring for our mental, emotional, and physical health in an integrated and intentional way. Many of the difficulties we experience—such as anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm—are often rooted in patterns shaped by earlier life experiences, even when we’re not consciously aware of them. My work takes a holistic approach, integrating mind, body, and spirit to support deep and meaningful healing. Drawing from psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, and amygdala depotentiation techniques, I help patients compassionately explore and gently shift the unconscious patterns that may be holding them back.

With over 30 years in private practice, I specialize in: trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, complex child custody, divorce, coparenting (including learning differences), workplace stress, loss/grief and eating disorders.

Do you or your child suffer from anxiety or depression? Do worry, social fears, or obsessive-compulsive disorder keep you from fully participating in life?

I primarily work with young children and parents navigating behavioral challenges, emotional overwhelm, and family stress. Many of the families I support feel stuck in patterns at home or unsure how to best support their child. Together, we create a safe, supportive space to understand what’s driving these behaviors and build a clearer, more manageable path forward.
