I have a very open and straightforward style of conducting treatment. I educate the patient about the factors that have contributed to his/her problems and I instruct the patient in how to make important changes and improvements. It's necessary for me to be sensitive to my patients' needs and abilities and it's important for the patient to be willing to work hard to make some challenging improvements.

I am a clinical psychologist licensed in New York, offering comprehensive psychological services for children, adolescents, and adults. I am committed to helping people struggling with a variety of individual, family, and relationship difficulties. Because an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, my approach involves collaboratively helping clients achieve healthy change in all three areas. I also firmly believe that a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental approach is critical for therapeutic success. In my practice, evaluations, psychotherapy, and psychological testing are provided in a professional, confidential and comfortable environment.

We are living in challenging times; it's not always easy to prioritize our own needs and goals, and sometimes the stresses and pressures we contend with day-to-day can lead to our well-being and happiness being compromised. A common observation you'll hear in this field is that "therapy is a gift you give yourself." I firmly believe that this is true and would love to work with you if you are feeling as though whatever struggles you might be facing are interfering with your quality of life and peace of mind.

Something's got to change. Together, we can make a plan of action to transform your life and attain your goals.

Reaching out for help, especially in stressful times and feeling overwhelmed, takes courage. And finding a therapist you can open up to is important.

Therapy is a process of discovery and change, which, although often challenging, I believe is always an endeavor worth taking. As I greatly respect one's decision to make this commitment to themselves, I take an active approach in the therapy process and work collaboratively with my clients towards healing and insight. I primarily make use of psychodynamic techniques with a general focus on helping to increase self-awareness, a sense of wellbeing, and a sense of empowerment to achieve desired change. However, it is important to note that treatment goals established by my clients and me are individualized to meet each client's needs.
