Are you stuck? In a relationship? With an addiction? In a job? If yes, read on. Mindfulness. Intention. Contemplation. Higher Power. Detachment. Co-dependency. What do these mean? What role do they play in helping people with "problems in living"? I think they are essential practices, together with psychotherapy, which can produce transformative thinking and behavior e.g., they can help people get "unstuck" from their dilemma. If interested in exploring these ways of "knowing", please contact me.

I believe the key to a successful therapeutic experience is the relationship between the therapist and the client. With this in mind, I understand the importance of showing non-judgemental compassion and respect for every person who asks for my help. My work with individuals is focused on finding change and building a foundation on which they can confidently manage life’s challenges and live a healthier life. My work with couples and families helps them find strategies to diffuse conflict and learn to communicate more effectively.

We all experience bumps in the road during life, such as traumas, divorce, family issues, or loss of loved ones. Receiving support and understanding from an outside perspective can give you clarity of how these events shape us and our relationships. I firmly believe that having a collaborative partnership with an empathetic counselor is crucial in this process - one who truly sees and values you. Together, we can map out a better picture of how your life events affected paths made along the way and use these insights to improve your relationships and develop your goals into realities.

I have been a psychotherapist for almost 40 years. I love my work. I dedicate myself to my practice which means I am spiritually orientated. I learn as much from you as a human being as you do from me. The difference being... that you do not have to take care of me! I am a seasoned therapist. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and depression. I work with couples who are struggling with intimacy. I am experienced in teaching mindfulness as a spiritual tool. I treat grief ....the loss of a partner, a child or a beloved pet. I am comfortable with tough problems...but i believe laughter an humor play a crucial role in therapy.

If you're affected by daily stresses of life, significant issues related to depression, anxiety or interpersonal relationships, I am a New York licensed psychologist and certified psychoanalyst that will help you resolve these problems. Clients gain insight into what's troubling them so that they can manage their issues more effectively. I work in an intimate setting, situated in a comfortable environment overlooking a private garden. It is a safe and confidential space. I work with people who are having difficulty developing and or maintaining significant relationships, experiencing depression, anxiety, low self esteem, feelings of being unlovable, or "just getting by" rather than thriving.

I hold a Master of Science from Columbia University and Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Berkeley. My experience includes intensive work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, couples therapy and bereavement . I've worked on-staff as a psychotherapist at Stony Brook Hospital, The Dunes East Hampton and Quannacut Addiction Rehab Eastern Long Island, as well as in private practice for well over a decade. My mental health column, "Thoughts from a Therapist" appears in the East Hampton Press, Southampton Press, Sag Harbor Express and online at 27east.com.

I treat individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief or a general sense of being stuck. I add to my over 25 years of experience various healing approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, talk therapy, dream analysis, journaling and other modalities in our work to find re-newed meaning and purpose in life. As a team we explore methods for bringing symptom relief and understanding of the root causes of your problems. I also counsel couples who find their connection damaged.

I have over 30 years of experience treating people coping with life changes. These include issues around relationships, loss , loneliness, parenting, divorce, job change, caring for a loved one, and chronic illness. I work with clients to guide them in identifying new purpose, managing anxieties and depression, and to support them in achieving personal balance.

Having a confidential place to explore what is causing imbalance or stress in one's life is the starting place. Exploring one's emotional and psychological process will open the path to freeing inner turmoil, indecision and personal struggle, while also finding solutions for better communication within relationships and navigating one's life path and career. Psychotherapy enables you to break free of repetitive patterns that prevent happiness. Finding one's identity and purpose in life is an ongoing question even after one is 50 years old. It is okay to question, review and reinvent without having to stop the ship.

I have over 13 yrs experience working with adults with depression, anxiety, grief , trauma, complex family dynamics, burnout, life transitions. My style is warm and interactive. I have been described as "down to earth", easy to talk to, direct, and compassionate in my approach. I believe that you already have everything within you to get through your challenges and I am here to help guide you. Our work together will be collaborative and always evolving. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for all clients to express themselves freely, guiding them to empowerment and finding their voice.

I have been in the helping profession for the majority of my adult life. Through the years, I have learned that we all face challenges from time to time that can confuse and overwhelm the best of us. Sometimes it just takes a different voice, a different perspective and the understanding of another to help clear the path to self fulfillment.

My therapeutic approach focuses on my belief that when it comes to an individual’s life, they are the expert. As a therapist, it is my job to be expert on theory and techniques, to assist client's in realizing their own capabilities of deciding where they want to go, and I encourage the strengths within themselves to pursue wherever that is and to identity what that will take to get there. First, however, I must address the level of resistance a client shows.My treatment heavily looks at aspects of internalization, pulls from psychoanalytic theories of neurosis, specifically signal anxiety, and focuses on realizing personal agency.

If you are seeking therapy it means you are wise enough to know you can do something about your problems and brave enough to try. For each person therapy is a unique collaboration. While I use my training in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioral treatment, and family therapy as guidance, success depends on paying careful attention to a client's personal history, life situation, and current goals. While the past shapes us and is always with us, your "here and now" issues are the focus, as we emphasize and reinforce your strengths while also addressing problems.

I believe that everyone has the ability to lead a satisfying and productive life, and that it's never too late to start. We all also have the capacity to get "stuck" in unproductive situations or relationships. The key ingredients for a successful outcome in therapy are the individual's, couple's, or family's readiness for change, and the safe, supportive, collaborative relationship we develop. My deepest interest lies in helping clients recognize their own needs, goals, strengths, under-utilized talents, and decision-making capacity. With the clarity they obtain, I can help them take some necessary steps to improve their lives.

For over 35 years I've been serving the community of the East End of Long Island as a therapist, lecturer and consultant in schools and private practice. I utilize varying modalities such as EMDR, mindfulness, stress reduction techniques and traditional talk therapy.
