Therapists in New York, NY

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have worked extensively with individual adults, adolescents, and couples in New York City for over 10 years. I work collaboratively with each of my clients to strike the right balance between providing relief in the short-term from the types of symptoms and difficult circumstances that may have led to an interest in psychotherapy, while also attempting to facilitate an ongoing process that promotes greater self-awareness and an increased sense of self-confidence in defining and achieving a more productive and satisfying life.

Welcome! I help my clients develop tools to remove obstacles that stand in the way of their happiness and prevent them from tapping into the innate wisdom that each of us possesses. I incorporate Eastern philosophy and meditation with contemporary psychology in creating an open space in which healing can unfold. My process is strongly influenced by mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches.

If you feel you get stuck in the same situation that causes you feel unheard and misunderstood, I can help. I help Couples and Individuals who experienced immigration, are in cultural transition or struggle with issues related to their interfaith relationships. I also have knowledge and training in helping individuals and couples who deal with trauma and it's transmission in future generations (i.e. Holocaust, Armenian) I can help you get out of distress and back to connecting and trusting yourself and your partner.

With openness and loving acceptance, I welcome each person as a unique, creative whole. I value all aspects of each individual, cherishing each behavior as having an important function. I collaborate with each client on identifying patterns, habits, beliefs and blocks, which contribute to stress as well as interfere with feeling fulfillment, satisfaction and joy. Together we examine different areas of life: purpose, career, relationships, grief/loss, trauma recovery and much more. Using a holistic approach, I welcome tears and laughter, joys and fears, anger and sorrow, letting go and embracing anew.

Seeking help holds a promise of hope. The journey is never easy, yet, steps to achieve such promise is closer than before. I welcome your courage as we work collaboratively in a safe and supporting environment. We can work through your difficulties and improve your overall well-being.

I’m a realist. Fancy jargon, generalized diagnosis and what you hear on social media won’t help you heal and become a whole person. Facing the painful yet beautiful reality of who you currently are and believing the promising potential of who you are becoming are the keys to living the life you were meant to live.

I am a Clinical Psychologist in New York, NYU faculty, with a Post-Doctoral degree in couples therapy and training in group therapy. Specializing in couples, individuals, and people's affinities for others, I find that relationships can be wonderful. They can also provide a platform for people to both learn about (and get into trouble with !) themselves and those they love. I work with couples, individual adults & groups to relate to time in the following ways: acknowledge the past, focus on the present, and consider the future. This sounds easier to do than it actually is to practice. So many difficult things in life are like that.

Paradoxically, we look for a therapist when the time is the most difficult. We may be coping with anxiety, distress or uncertainty about a crisis in life. Under these circumstances we are looking for someone who we can confide in, with whom we can feel safe, and who understands us. As a therapist for over 35 years, I have experience with these feelings. We each have unique ways of wresting with life's experiences. I try to establish a nonjudgmental, empathic partnership so that we can explore meaningful ways to improve your life.

Tired of feeling overwhelmed by life, unhappy about your career or family life, frustrated by relationship issues, or desperately trying to find relief from sadness, fears, or anxiety? Together we can embark on a journey that explores who you are and where you want to be, uncovering your strengths, needs, fears, desires, and everything else in between, along the way. We will also delve into experiences from the past that may be holding you back from a more fulfilling future, which in turn, will help equip you with the tools and resources to effectively manage past traumas or adversities.

Working on important relationships— whether together or apart— can be an incredibly rewarding journey. We’ll start where you are and what brought you to this point, including what you’ve tried so far. Then, we will look more closely for both default choices that create patterns of ineffective dynamics and responses, as well as successful moments where you are able to make effective decisions about how you want to respond to a person or situation. This will involve looking at all kinds of habits: behavioral, mental, interpersonal. Enter: the power of choice.
