LET ME HELP YOU HEAL AND GROW. As we move through life, events and circumstances may occasionally disrupt our forward movement. These blocks often show up as anxiety, depression, conflict, or an escape into addictions (both minor and major). However, I firmly believe that within everyone is an innate pull towards health and wholeness. Think about it. The fact that you’re reading this is evidence that you are ready to grow and transform, right? In therapy, you'll reconnect and align with this inner movement toward health and growth.

As a strengths based and patient centered clinician, my existential approach allows patients to discover a stronger and more fitting identity, and identify the obstacles that hinder self-actualization in a nonjudgmental, open-minded forum. I counsel individual adults and couples facing many issues including anxiety, depression, relationship discord, sexuality issues, occupational distress and substance related problems.

I work well with people interested in learning holistic, creative approaches for moving through difficult emotions, finding balance in life, and living in concert with one's most authentic self and values. I teach practices to better manage the stress, anxiety, disappointment and sadness that arise in every day living, as well as the unexpected challenges along the way - especially these most challenging times we are collectively facing. I also enjoy helping people find the story of their lives - making sense of where they've come from by shaping coherent narratives, and developing more compassion for themselves in the process.

As a therapist with a disability, I have a deep appreciation for life's challenges, pain, loss and suffering. I have learned the art of "transforming obstacles into opportunities," with the help of my guide dog Faith, as she literally guides me around obstacles, and has enhanced my life, turning around an otherwise insurmountable feat. Decades of clinical and life experience, keen intuition, along with compassion and a holistic, evidenced-based approach, and a sense of humor, are some of the key ingredients leading my clients towards feeling better, finding direction and actualizing potential.

Now accepting telehealth clients-My clients all have one thing in common-they were brave enough to take the first step and ask for help. Other than that... the diversity among my clients is tremendous. I work with individuals from 14 y/o to 99 y/o. Culture, race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation vary. Their goals vary from task oriented solution focused to deeper more psychoanalytic aspirations. Each is unique and provided individualized care. If you are ready to work with a clinician that focuses on partnership and empowerment of clients then please do not hesitate to reach out for a consultation call.

We all have the capacity to lead a fulfilling life. However at times we may feel stuck, unmotivated or overwhelmed for reasons we cannot always articulate. Having worked with people from all walks of life for the past 20 years, I have come to appreciate the courage it takes to openly share your personal concerns and struggles with a therapist. Still, it is this kind of open and honest conversations that can allow you to gain a deeper understanding of the issues that have led to your current difficulties, and ultimately create a path toward a more fulfilling life.

Congratulations on this first step toward beginning (or revisiting) psychotherapy. I believe psychotherapy and psychoanalysis can be deeply gratifying, life-changing practices, and that positive and productive treatment begins with a safe, trusting, confidential, and empathic client/therapist alliance.

Therapy is a process of growth and discovery and, as your therapist, I will be an active participant in this process. We will work together to identify your goals and uncover the obstacles that are preventing you from moving forward in your life. My style is engaged and interactive--I will ask questions, give feedback, and encourage you to think about the choices you make and the results of those choices. I am an empathic listener, who can emotionally attune and communicate with others and I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs.

I use my training and experience to provide real guidance to people wishing to remove blocks to personal and professional fulfillment, develop a deeper understanding of themselves, and confront negative patterns of behavior. As a professor of clinical practice with individuals, families and groups at New York University, I teach my students to appreciate both the science and the art of psychotherapy. I believe that psychotherapy is most successful in an atmosphere of warmth, humor, and nonjudgmental support. As a psychotherapist, I try to create a professional atmosphere for playful exploration.

I view treatment as a collaborative effort between client and therapist. This working relationship is an essential ingredient in the healing process.
Having an eclectic approach, I try to fit the treatment to the needs of the patient. I draw from interpersonal, psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral and family systems ideas in conceptual-
izing and addressing the problems at hand. It is extremely rewarding for me
to assist clients in recognizing and freeing up their potential.

Is therapy right for you? Creating change in your life can be difficult, but tremendously rewarding. As a licensed psychotherapist with a holistic perspective, I work with adults and couples to address problems with troubling issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. Concerns with sexuality, sexual identity, and relationships are areas where I am experienced.

As a psychologist with psychoanalytic training, I have years of experience in treating anxiety and depression, especially serious depression. I believe that many problems emanate from faulty interpersonal relations and/or a lifetime of trauma. I can help you spot self sabotaging patterns. I provide a therapy that is accessible, affordable, and relies on both the examination of troublesome feelings as well as defective thinking patterns. Before anything else, I hope to build a trusting relationship.

Sometimes you know exactly what the problem might be, and other times it feels more confusing and elusive. Psychotherapy is a wonderful way to facilitate and enact positive change into your life. My predominant goal is to make you feel safe and supported, so that you can explore and connect your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a productive manner. I believe that past experiences and relationships have a profound impact on our present emotional health and work to explore those experiences using a variety of effective treatment approaches tailored to the individual or couple.

Whether you need support dealing with a current situation or want to address a longstanding issue, I can help. Many of my clients enter therapy to work through depression and anxiety related to struggles with relationships, identity, loss and trauma. Others are seeking to achieve personal growth and reach their life goals. Psychotherapy offers a unique space where together, we work to identify, understand and resolve difficulties. By increasing awareness of their strengths and where they get stuck, clients gain clarity and insight into new solutions. Therapy with me provides lasting benefits: real change, peace of mind and new skills to take into the future.

You're ambitious, social, and dependable. But it's a rat race out there, and you're exhausted. To everyone else, you've got it all together. You work tirelessly to keep everyone around you happy, but your efforts never feel satisfactory. You're highly self-critical, and at times, your own worst enemy. You're juggling friendships, dating, work, family - and it's taking a toll. It's overwhelming, even lonely at times, and you can't seem to get a break.

Is online therapy a good option?

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 United States, 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, 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.
