Experienced individual and couples therapist. Often times, people find that they experience unhappiness, anxiety, or repeated obstacles to getting what they want in relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what the "universe" throws your way, and which of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately. I teach and practice psychoanalysis.

Have you had a disturbing experience that makes coping with everyday life difficult? Or witnessed something awful you can’t forget? If so, you may be suffering from trauma. In my practice, I work with clients who struggle with the psychological, emotional, and physical consequences of past and/or ongoing trauma, as they try to avoid repeating personal and professional mistakes that serve only to worsen their traumatic experiences. If you are experiencing challenges such as these, I help you process your trauma in a supportive, validating environment, that is empowering and ultimately freeing.

Starting therapy is brave. I aim to foster a relationship that is compassionate, free of judgment, and a place where you can express your truest thoughts and feelings. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and the therapeutic space should be one that centers and honors your resiliency and strengths. Treatment is fluid and individualized uniquely for you. As such, I consider our work to be a co-created process and I endeavor to create a space where all expressions of selfhood and identity can be safely expressed.

Therapy is the practice of a good conversation. Through an affirmative & confidential space, we can work together to navigate personal hardship, gain clarity into what's most important to you, how you make sense of the world, and what meaning you gain from it.

Not sure where to start? Searching for the "right" words? Concerned about talking to a 'complete stranger' about your anxiety/depression, relationship/work struggles, AD[H]D/ creativity blocks? Sure I "know" about people's struggles, individually & as couples -- and how to overcome these-- as well as different approaches to therapy. I have listened to & helped many folks over 35 years as a NYState Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Certified Adult Psychoanalyst. In addition, I have been an Adjunct Associate Professor (at NYU, Brooklyn College, & several NYC psychoanalytic institutes); I was in my own analysis; & I continue to supervise less experienced clinicians.

Let's face it, therapy can be so difficult to start. How do I find the perfect therapist? How do I know if this is a match for me? Are my problems even worthy of therapy? We've all been there and often times, making the decision to start therapy is the hardest part. I do my best to provide a safe space where you can feel comfortable answering all of these questions with me. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just want a space to talk about the stressors of your day, I'm here to listen.

We all have a natural resiliency, but sometimes need external supports to feel empowered. Combining use of verbal psychotherapy, EMDR, creative arts therapy, and mindfulness, I provide this support in a way that best fits each individual's needs. I work with all ages, with a specific focus on adolescents and adults. Through the context of a trusting therapeutic relationship, my clients explore issues, both past, present, and future. This brings about a deeper level of self-awareness that leads to personal growth, healing, and the alleviation of stress.

It is in my belief that we are all intrinsically whole, deserving and worthy of love and meaningful connections. However, somewhere along the way we have incurred pain and hurtful experiences that have tainted our story and lens of how we see the world and ourselves. Sometimes the narrative runs so deep that we can’t stop the thoughts and feelings that flow continuously. In this way, everyday feels like a struggle. Perhaps you secretly feel lost and lonely or you struggle with feelings of anxiety, insecurity or sadness and are uncertain about how to navigate the complexity of your emotions. Wherever you are - your story matters.

I specialize in working with creative highly sensitive people who deal with depression and anxiety. Together we will process your experiences, change unhelpful narratives, and develop harmony and balance within yourself. I work as witness in helping you develop a more nuanced inner dialogue to move from a place of confusion and disconnection towards self compassion and healing. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, Sex Positive, Spiritually affirming, and work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, multiculturally sensitive, & intersectional approach towards embodied healing and life empowerment.

My ideal client is someone who desires to improve the quality of their life. Someone who feels stuck in certain behavior patters or thought patterns and wants to live their full life with joy and contentment. Clients who want to wake up each day with confidence and the tolerance level to manage their thought and feeling and making choices that expand their life and capacity to be in it.

My passion as a psychotherapist allows me to provide a safe space to explore past traumas, anxiety, depression, life transitions and life stressors. As seeking therapy is a courageous step, I offer therapeutic services to adults, children, couples, and families. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgemental and encouraging environment to effectively communicate stressors and get to the root of emotional patterns.

When someone experiences trauma- it can affect multiple aspects of that person’s life. It may interfere in relationships, make it difficult to cope with daily life, cloud decision-making, and prompt a person to seek relief in ways that create more problems. Helping people change the way they view themselves and their future- especially people who don’t think it is possible for anything to change—is a special quest for me.

I am LMHC trained with a variety of treatment modalities. My preferred treatment for clients is EMDR and/or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that will focus on the individuals treatment goals.
