I provide Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (CBT) to enhance your: life satisfaction, sense of mastery, and connectedness with others—utilizing a warm, evidence-based, humane, collaborative approach. Therapy is not something I do TO you, but instead, a "journey" that we take together in partnership (and sometimes in laughter). We will go at your pace and focus on YOUR goals for you. I will attempt to build on your strengths and the coping skills you already possess, and to educate you about communication, problem-solving, and stress-management tools that are new to you. I have been in practice for 30 years.

Our beliefs and assumptions about the world inform our feelings, which in turn, influences our behavior. Many of those assumptions however are not entirely our own, or even in our conscious awareness. They come from our parents, communities, traumatic experiences, or a less developed version of ourself. Living a life that does not reflect our authentic values often results in inner conflict that negatively spills outward into our intimate, familial, and professional relationships. Taking time to explore what thoughts and values belong to our authentic selves, is one of the most important gifts an individual can give to themselves.

Do you feel responsible for everyone else’s happiness? Do you replay conversations in your head, worry you said the wrong thing, and feel anxious when someone seems distant or upset? Is it hard to say no… set boundaries… or even know what you truly want? If you struggle with people-pleasing, codependency, low self-esteem, anxiety and overthinking, relationship issues, or depression, you may feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells — trying to prevent conflict, avoid rejection, and keep everyone else okay before you ever consider yourself. For many people, these patterns are rooted in unresolved trauma.

Clinical psychologist and native NYer who finally has new evening openings! I thrive on working with overthinkers and overdoers, perfectionists, and entrepreneurial, busy AF power couples and individuals. People who just want one thing in life to feel easy and smooth—yet somehow nothing ever is. People who think therapy is too slow and soft, and crave a direct and no-bull approach. If you're looking for a direct, sharp therapist who works as hard as you do, then, in the words of Jack Donaghy: put your mental burden in my mind vice, and I'll crush it. Psychotherapeutically, of course!

People desire the same things no matter where they are on their mental health journey: safety that doesn't demand perfection, connection that doesn't overwhelm, and support that doesn't disappear. These goals are deeply human: to feel regulated, to form secure relationships, to reduce the stress, and to believe that life can be lived rather than endured. Whether you are just starting on your therapy journey, or returning after a long break - there is space for you in my practice to be heard, to start processing, healing, and thriving.

Hello everyone, please welcome and allow me to first begin in thanking you. The choice to start therapy isn’t always easy, sometimes it is the most difficult thing to do is to even consider it, then admit you want/need it before even taking the steps to start, but you are not alone on this journey. Perhaps there has been times that you have found yourself feeling stressed, down, lacking confidence, or stuck in a pattern that no longer serves you. Perhaps you’re ready to take steps toward changes but feel stuck or unsure where to start. Or even feeling lost in your relationships in life or even disconnected from them.

Schema Therapy
How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy is based on the idea that maladaptive thought patterns formed in childhood—that other people can never be relied on, for example—can interfere with healthy functioning in adulthood. Accordingly, schema therapy works by directly targeting such unhealthy schemas, identifying their consequences, and replacing them with more adaptive ways of thinking. To this end, schema therapists aim to “reparent” the client by offering what they didn’t get in childhood—validation, for instance, or compassion—to reorient their worldview.

Is schema therapy evidence-based?
Schema therapy is still considered relatively new, and research on its efficacy is still in progress. However, some studies have concluded that it can be effective at treating certain mental health conditions, most notably personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Evidence for its efficacy in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD is promising but less conclusive, and experts warn that much of the existing research is of low quality.

Is schema therapy a type of CBT?
Schema therapy is based on many principles of CBT, most notably the process of recognizing and challenging maladaptive thought patterns. But because schema therapy also draws from other approaches,including psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy, it is not considered a form of CBT. It also typically delves deeper into the client’s childhood than does CBT.

How does schema therapy work?
Schema therapy does not call for a set number of sessions and is instead open-ended, with the treatment timeline depending on the client’s primary concern(s), progress, and preferences. Treatment that lasts between six months and two years is common, though many clients will start to see progress much earlier than that.
