I am a psychoanalytic psychologist working remotely with folks across NYS and in person in Hudson, NY. I think of therapy as a way to help people get more used to what living feels like. For some who come in for therapy, living has felt relatively smooth, and they’re drawn to session to get help with specific struggles that have come up suddenly. For others, living has felt too hard for quite some time. In our sessions, we learn how to sense our way through these experiences together. We’ll explore how it feels to invite a witness in to your experience and we’ll deepen your ability to care for yourself as you move through life.

Helping people help themselves. Adults and couples. Anxiety, depression, dependency, uncertain fears and specific symptoms. Conflict, school and job stress, trauma, bereavement. I draw on decades of experience (and was the Clinical Unit Administrator for two agencies). With empathy, time, and care, I help people to draw on their strengths to learn to be good communicators and effective problem-solvers and to gain a sense of control, meaning, and wholesome relatedness.

I appreciate that we, as humans, do the best we can with whatever resources are available. My function, as a therapist, is to be an additional resource -- of support, emotional safety, and connection. Our sessions will focus on exploring your individual experience and increasing your awareness of your self and how you operate in your world. I believe that having a safe environment and willing partner with whom to examine the full spectrum of how you are in your context - with all its inherent possibilities and limitations - facilitates agency and personal growth. It can also provide a sense of wholeness and corresponding relief.

Whether you may be experiencing difficulty, encountering behaviors that keep leading to troubling outcomes, or are dealing with grief, anxiety, sadness, overwhelm, or the weight of the world, I hope you aren’t going through it alone. People who work with me tend to think of me as an ally, helping them to create the lives they want to live. I collaboratively draw upon people’s strengths, values, and competencies to navigate their way towards more fulfillment, freedom, purpose, and joy.

With the overwhelming demands of life and work, we can often lose sense of who we are and feel as though we are going through the motions. Losing our sense of self, an important relationship, or even a loved one, can leave us feeling disconnected and alone. There is so much that demands our attention, it’s unclear where to start. If you are looking to heal and recover, hoping to reconnect with your inner joy, and searching for moments of peace, I might be able to help.

Emotional Intelligence, I suggest to you this is the powerful era that we humans are experiencing, whereby we are exploring and discovering more and more, how our brains and our bodies work. We are learning how to harness our potential, how to understand the influences of our education and socialization and how it has shaped, restricted our thinking, our choices. I believe, it is when we become curious, when we ask the questions, how did I become the way I am? how did I develop my beliefs about the world? Asking such questions gives us permission to explore our deeply held beliefs and understanding, liberating our future choices.
