"As both a professional somatic coach and psychotherapist, I help clients optimize their potential and achieve a sense of mastery and purpose in their personal and professional lives. Whether your goal is to embody an authentic leadership presence, achieve new behaviors, build a positive body image or to create powerful and sustainable change in any aspect of your life, experience and observation have taught me that lasting change is only possible when the whole self is engaged--body, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, language and energy/spirit. Utilizing a multidimensional perspective opens up creative and meaningful solutions for healing, connection and skillful action."

"I am a Licensed Psychotherapist working with adolescents and adults who are experiencing difficult life changes and stages. I practice psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy and work on a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and grief. Before I became a Psychotherapist I attended the Moscow Academy of Industrial and Applied Arts, at which I received a Master degree in Fine Arts and Interior Design. I obtained my Masters in Clinical Social Work from New York University, with a concentration in Mental Health and Art Therapy."

Discover new and better ways to live and love with greater vitality and optimism. I have been in private practice for the past 25 years. My background and training has been in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy. During the years, I have trained in Gestalt Therapy; Cognitive Behavior Therapy; Bio-Feedback and Stress Reduction Techniques. As a result, much of my work has been in treating people with Stress Related Illness, Depression, Anxiety, Addictive Disorders and Trauma."

"Therapy is a powerful way to increase self awareness and develop problem solving skills. I work collaboratively with clients to address issues that interfere with their sense of wellbeing. Many clients have told me that I am warm,authentic,insightful,and funny. Because they feel validated and accepted, my clients are often able to work through problems in a safe, supportive place. Together, my clients and I identify areas of vulnerability and strength, with a focus on building upon strengths to create more effective coping strategies, and to attain happiness and peace."

"I believe our central motivation is to seek out and maintain strong emotional bonds with important others. When this is blocked, we don't give up that need, we learn ways of connecting that are dysfunctional and that wreak havoc on our emotional lives. Thus, we often ask ourselves, "Why is it always me?" or "Why do I always do that?" or "Why am I always alone?" I believe the key to growth is in understanding how your thoughts, which we are often unaware of, influence your feelings and behavior in the context of your relationships."

"Are you a stressed about parenting? Are you unsure about how to help your child? Does your child struggle in school with learning? Is your child being bullied? For fifteen years I have been working with individuals and families. I have treated these and other concerns so that families can get along better. In addition to individual and family therapy, I utilize play therapy techniques. This is how children communicate, learn about themselves and their world, and resolve inner cognitive and emotional struggles. Call today to get help, so we can begin the process of helping your child reach academic, emotional, and social goals."

"As a psychologist licensed in NY and NJ, I have maintained an independent psychotherapy practice for close to 30 years. Therapy with me allows each individual to feel fully recognized and accepted. The most common reasons that people come to me are for help with depression and anxiety. We often discover the self-defeating ways--avoidance, aggressiveness, addiction-- you use to cope with the stresses of everyday life. We usually find that the problems are present in the most intimate relationships, and may be threatening work relationships as well. You will be supported in your striving to live a fuller and more contented life."

"I recognize that people often have many different types of trauma in their lives. Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and may be interpreted differently by each individual. Traumatic issues can range from bullying, loss of friendship, transitions of all types, to devastating life events. I have provided care to adolescents and adults suffering from emotional disturbances, as a result of trauma and loss. Subsequently these disturbances will interfere with school, work, and relationships and may ultimately prevent one from living a fulfilling life."

"With over 35 years of extensive counseling experience as a school psychologist, in both regular and special-education, I have the unique perspective, experience, and qualifications to help parents and children navigate the often complicated and tenuous years of childhood, adolescence, and family life. In addition to my experience as a school psychologist, I have also been an elementary school principal, thereby affording me the ability to see and understand the magnitude of school pressures and demands; academic, social, and emotional, on your child and on your family life. I offer supportive, short term therapy, with practical solutions."

"If you seek to maximize your potential, feel more confident and make choices that you are not sure about, I will help you learn how to listen to yourself and connect to what you already know but maybe not yet aware of. If some of your relationships don't seem to work out and it is not clear to you - why - we'll try to find out what gets on your way and prevents you from being truly connected to the people you want to be connected to."

"My experience as a therapist and a professor of psychology has enabled me to provide knowledgeable,effective clinical interventions.

I take great pride in helping others become the owners of their stories."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families and groups. I am behaviorally trained, but my approach is patient driven.

I also specialize in Panic Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder."

"I treat depression, anxiety, relationships, eating disorders, parenting, children, adolescents, couples, individuals. Therapy is a process of self-discovery. The focus is on the uniqueness of you and the specific personal issues you present. My role is to help unlock whatever has prevented you from reaching personal goals and the quality of life you want. Together we will focus on your circumstances and see if there are different perspectives to problems or conflicts that you are experiencing."

"I value building a supportive alliance that is based on honesty and frank communication. I have received excellent training from mental health experts in three major hospitals in the NYC area. My approach is psychoanalytic integrated with cognitive behavioral, emotionally focused and mindfulness approaches. Most importantly, we talk together to find out what works best for you. I am especially well suited to working with trauma victims, couples and families, and those with an interest in the bodymind perspective. Years spent living abroad inspired an interest in cross cultural dynamics and diversity."

"My passion is to help people navigate life's challenges in a safe and warm environment. My style is to engage and interact with my clients in a respectful, non-judgemental, supportive and positive manner. Together we work on improving communication, developing strategies for clients who face transitions and supportive tools for those who experiene illness or losses. We all face changes - in our roles, relationships, our health or emotional well being. Adapting to these changes can be challanging yet with appropriate support - there is always opportunity for growth. I would like to be there for you."
