I work with people seeking to make real and lasting changes in their lives, and I help them foster the hope and confidence that change is possible. By gaining a complete and whole picture of each person, I guide them in reaching a better understanding themselves and their personal patterns in life, work and relationships. Together, we find new perspectives, new ideas and new ways of managing old problems.

I engage with people in the here and now to alleviate distressing symptoms, patterns of thinking and interacting that contribute to a feeling of "stuckness." Working collaboratively, we examine these dynamics through the lense of your own personal history, and as they emerge in the therapy between therapist and patient. Often, self-defeating internal narratives and behaviors are learned in childhood and protect against larger anxieties. Together, we work to figure out what still serves you and what doesn't, with a goal of increasing self-awareness, improving relationships and fostering an overall sense of aliveness.

Taking the first step toward transformation is often the hardest part, and you just did it! In life we often arrive at circumstances beyond our understanding. These experiences can be the result of attachment style, unresolved trauma, grief/loss or dissatisfaction with life’s journey. At times these experiences distort our perception, or causing sadness or anxiety. These events may diminish our ability to enjoy life the way we would like to. In practice I have supported adults /children cope with depression, anxiety and trauma.

My approach is goal-oriented and integrated – pulling from multiple disciplines like Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy. While keeping the individual’s needs in mind, an intentional humanistic approach remains at the forefront. Ultimately we’re going to need to have a meaningful relationship if we’re going to create change.

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.

Do you feel controlled by thoughts about food, weight, body image and/or exercise? Does your relationship with food interfere with your mood, self-esteem and ability to function or focus in different areas of your life? Do you feel relationships with your family, loved ones & friends are suffering as a result of excess focus on these areas? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please know you do not need to keep struggling on your own.

I view therapy as a collaborative interpersonal experience that can facilitate understanding and self-growth. I work to foster an open and safe therapeutic environment that is based on mutual trust. I believe that a positive therapeutic relationship is necessary for individuals to be able to recognize, understand, and work through reoccurring and at times, self-harming interpersonal patterns and their negative self-view. I have found that in coming to understand the underlying unconscious reasons for behaviors individuals are better able to learn about themselves in a unique manner that can positively impact different and seemingly unrelated aspects of their lives.

Therapy is a meaningful way to face our biggest fears and challenges. It is a process that nurtures self-understanding and acceptance so that we can grow and adapt to our circumstances. I am a licensed psychoanalyst who provides therapy to adults , adolescents, couples and groups. I provide a confidential, open, warm and playful space for you to gain self-understanding and face the obstacles that are holding you back.

My role is to identify the right tools to move through these obstacles so you can begin to thrive.

Often time, people begin psychotherapy as a result of feeling disconnected from themselves or the world. When overwhelmed by life, you may notice feeling drained, disconnected, dissatisfied with your relationships, and at times physically unwell. In therapy, I create a safe space to explore past, present, and future struggles and work towards goals in order to live a more insightful, balanced, fulfilled life.
