Therapists in New York, NY

I create an open, empathetic, non-judgmental space and draw from a variety of philosophies and modalities including: psychodynamic, CBT, trauma-informed, somatic, feminist and relational approaches, and art and play therapy. I bring an awareness of and curiosity about the impacts of systemic oppression, historical trauma, and early childhood experiences, to work with you to move towards goals of your choosing, whether those be internal or external. I have worked most with teens, parents, families, and young adults, from a variety of race and class backgrounds, and in particular Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.

On top of everything, a pandemic! Whatever is working for us, great! But what's not, is not--now more than ever. Time's passing, the days get longer, the seasons progress. But the rhythm of our days is changed. In some ways, we’re strangers to ourselves. For those lucky enough to feel relatively safe, this is a chance to turn inward, take heed of that small voice that unbidden calls to us. May have been there for years. May whisper something like:" you could do better, be better, hurt less, do more." What keeps us from being thoroughly involved in our work, or deeply connected to our friends, our lovers, ourselves?

You want to feel a sense of safety and security within your relationships. Whether you are with a partner and want to improve your intimacy or you are an individual looking to create a foundation for a positive relationship, I will collaborate with you to provide you the tools and motivation to feel empowered within your life.

“Isn’t there more to working than this?” It’s a common question that successful professionals of all ages and levels ask themselves.

Gay men and lesbian women face many challenges that are specific to them. It is important to find a therapist that understands your unique experience as a queer person in a culture that promotes heterosexuality as the norm. Whether it's past traumas or internalizing the stigma that we have been exposed to, we all have life events that impact the way we see the world today. For queer people, our worldview may be impacted by our time in the closet, messages we receive from media, and the different communities we belong to.

I work with men and women who are seemingly high achievers but deep inside often feel alone, lost, empty, even if they are in a relationship, and struggling to be present in life while pursuing their full potential. I treat anxiety and depression through examining deep-rooted inner conflicts, shame, guilt, insecurity, childhood trauma, family of origin, as well as unconscious cognitive distortions and unhealthy coping mechanisms that manifest in perpetuating self doubts, career dissatisfactions and relationship/intimacy difficulties. Clients with prior therapy experiences often report making progress in our initial work together.

I believe that people have an innate capacity to heal and change. Access to this healing is sometimes blocked by negative and destructive patterns that are formed when there is a need to adapt and survive difficult, traumatic or overwhelming experiences. In a collaborative, empathic, and safe atmosphere, I facilitate people’s connections to their own resources and foster the creation of a compassionate self that is free to make mindful choices and unhook old patterns. Through psychodynamic, humanistic and somatically oriented approaches, I help people find new insights and awareness, build resiliency and create pathways to greater fulfillment.
