Stress comes in many shades, regardless of what we face, with no discrepancies of importance, changing how we feel begins with changing our perspective. I aim to guide you through these life challenges and rebuild the mindset that these negative encounters have influenced.

I am a psychologist in private practice for over 20 years. The people I see struggle with depression, anxiety, loss, troubling behavior, and relationship problems. I strive to be warm and empathic and provide a space where people can work through past painful experiences and develop stronger coping skills and healthier patterns of relating to others. I help to identify sources of hope and meaning that help cope with stressful circumstances. Psychotherapy can help bring about a greater sense of emotional freedom, self esteem, and more satisfying relationships.

Hi, I am a clinical psychologist licensed in both New York and California. People come to me for various emotional and relational challenges. I found myself work particularly well with those who have relational trauma in their family of origin, those who struggle to find themselves or trust themselves, those who experience perpetual unhappiness or loneliness despite their achievement, as well as those who seek to understand themselves more deeply. I have a passion serving immigrants, expatriates, international students, the LGBTQ+ community and the marginalized, and I have worked closely with these populations over the years.

Within each one of us is an inner child that holds the many hurts of our life. To survive this world, we hide the child away, building strong brick walls, preventing the child from emerging. Sometimes we use our “busyness” to ignore the cries of the child behind the barricades. Or we turn to anger, addiction and numbness to drown out the deafening cries. In our moments of brokenness, we stop and wonder, “Is this how I will have to live the rest of my life?” Trauma touches us all in different ways. The role of a therapist is to guide you through the pain and hurt so you can live a life of intention, meaning and inner peace.

When anxiety feels constant, grief feels isolating, or past trauma keeps showing up in daily life, it can be exhausting to hold everything together. Teen girls and women across Long Island, including Stony Brook and East Setauket, often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Couples may be struggling with ongoing conflict, infidelity, or the pain of separation or divorce. You may be realizing you can’t keep carrying this alone. You’re looking for relief, clarity, and a supportive space to process what you’re going through—so you can feel more grounded, present, and connected again.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
