I take an empathic and supportive approach to therapy by establishing a safe space for my clients to uncover and explore painful emotions. Whether you’re experiencing chronic stress, feeling anxious or depressed, together we will identify goals for therapy. I tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of every client—with the aim of helping the client develop new coping skills, enhance self-awareness, foster positive change, and increase overall satisfaction and well-being. My specialized training includes both cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic treatment.

With 48 years experience as a therapist in New York, I continue to help people cope with a variety of issues from stress and anxiety to grief and depression, from relationships and intimacy to family dynamics, from trauma and abuse to self-esteem, resentments and forgiveness, from guilt and shame for who we are and what we have done to how we are treated, from parenting issues to feelings of isolation and loneliness, from post-traumatic stress reactions to issues of aging and compassion fatigue. These and other issues have increased for many since Covid.

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing your illness for years. As a nurse-psychotherapist, I understand the grief, loneliness, fear, anger, shame, and vulnerability that may surface, often at unexpected moments. Yet managing life with chronic illness also presents tremendous opportunities for growth and insight, creativity and humor. Attention to the emotional aspects of illness and the body can lead in therapy to discovering new ways of caring for one's self, of moving through the world with more agency and joy, of being more genuinely, fully, with others.

I aspire to create a space that is welcoming, safe and comfortable. My style is non-judgmental, empathic and introspective. My goal is to help you learn about yourself and how you relate to others so that you can make positive improvements that are lasting. Therapy can be challenging; but my belief is that through this meaningful work you will develop a deeper sense of self and awareness of strengths that may have gone undiscovered to this point. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change.

I help others manage and resolve difficulties of the heart - love, loss, and work during significant life changes/transitions; e.g., career/job change, death/illness in family, divorce, addiction/recovery, etc. I provide high-quality professional assessment and counseling/psychotherapy to people who have not accessed or have had prior unsatisfactory experiences with psychotherapy. I also do "second opinions" for anyone experiencing therapy stalemate and/or major change. During change, the terrain is stormy, bumpy, skiddy and deep. Many feel angry--a disguise to the depth of fear(s). Anxiety ensues and one doubts whether the "new" is possible.

Sometimes life can feel like a bowl of cherries with a few nuts thrown in. Life can be filled with sweet moments that feel hopeful while other times you feel unexpectedly knocked down by circumstances, relationships, and experiences. My approach to therapy helps my clients explore both pleasant and unexpected experiences to gain insight into the true essence of who they are. How do these experiences show up in relationships, different environments, and contribute to overall patterns and dynamics? Together we can find out how these patterns show up and identify strengths and weakness in them.

My primary focus is working with the creative community. What I mean by "creative community" includes actors, singers, dancers, directors, film makers, writers, visual artists, designers, video artists, photographers...anyone who struggles with the obstacles inherent in trying to create from nothing but grit and inspiration. Anxieties can follow upon a life dedicated to great aspirations with little to no guarantee of success. My experience as a former theater professional, I feel, qualifies me to assist those in the creative arts to balance the uncertainties with their unique gifts.

I'm of the mindset that everyone can benefit from therapy. Each of us has unique worries and concerns that we 1) don't want to burden our friends and family with or 2) can't imagine anyone listening to without judgment. Therefore, choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable talking to is essential. The only way to truly benefit from therapy is to start off feeling understood, respected, and valued. With specific goals in mind I work with clients to explore their current situation from all angles - their history, current functioning, underlying feelings, and strategies/skills to achieve the change they desire.

In my practice I enjoy helping people in their journey of self-understanding and life enrichment. My approach is primarily Psychodynamic, flexibly integrating elements of other evidence-based psychotherapies, such as CBT and DBT. I work with each person to identify core motivations, and to arrive at a more accurate and adaptive self-understanding. A focus of the collaborative work involves improving awareness of unproductive patterns of behavior. This usually leads to a virtuous cycle of insight, positive feelings, and behavioral activation. Clients gain a greater sense of personal agency and more control over the choices in their lives.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
