I specialize in working with people who are looking for gender-affirming, sex positive, and culturally conscious care, and I have significant experience and training in working with LGBTQ+ individuals. I use a strength-based, person-centered approach with a focus on empowering my clients, while also incorporating mindfulness and grounding exercises in sessions that you can utilize outside the therapy space. I also like to tie in creative outlets like writing, movement, and music to explore conflicts and other challenges in peoples’ lives.

In my 20+ years of experience working with adults and couples, I believe that the therapeutic relationship and the safety it provides is key to change. My expertise lies in helping my clients work through their depression, anxiety and relationship issues. As an EMDR trained therapist I help my clients desensitize and reprocess traumatic memories and break free of the distorted negative beliefs they developed in a dysfunctional or addicted family system. The link between childhood trauma exposure and substance abuse is well established. EMDR can help treat alcohol and drug addiction by treating the trauma that underlies it.

Coming to therapy can be a challenging experience, no matter your particular struggle. It’s vital that the therapist you choose be someone that you a connection with and trust.

I’m trained in both a psychodynamic approach, where we focus on how you interact with the world, and I am intensively train in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment in which you can access your inherent strengths and find the answers that are right for you. Whether you're feeling depressed or anxious, going through a difficult life transition, experiencing grief or bereavement or simply wanting to understand yourself and the choices you make in a deeper way, psychotherapy can help.

We all have our own negative thought patterns that impact our confidence, self-esteem, and mental health. What ideas and beliefs do you have about yourself? Perhaps those beliefs are causing you to be stressed, anxious, or depressed. Together, we can discover your unique thought patterns, become aware of their impact, and start to replace them with more motivating and positive self-talk. We can also begin to understand how your emotions show up in your body and how they might be impacting different areas of your life.

I work from a psychodynamic approach that enlists the breadth of your unique experience, and offers the opportunity to work through emotional complications, anxieties and obstacles that diminish a sense of conviction, engagement and passion in love and work.

Before I came to New York, I was a lecturer in medical school and a neuroscientist. I was interested in the wonders of the brain from a scientist's point of view. My focus, over the last decade, has shifted from the brain to the mind. I think of psychoanalysis as a profound journey of understanding of oneself. Its purpose is to help people to understand feelings, behaviors, and habits that are troubling to them and to enrich their lives with new creativity, more fulfilling careers, and more meaningful relationships.

To me, therapy is about figuring out how to get what you want from your life. Sometimes, people have trouble achieving balance in their lives due to long-standing patterns of relationships and/or learned styles of thought and behavior. My goal is to help you look at your patterns of relationships, both past and present, and to shift your thoughts and behaviors so that you can achieve increased satisfaction with life.

His approach is flexible because he understands that unique social, cultural and environmental factors impact the life of everyone in individual ways. You are the expert on your own life, and your sessions with Nathaniel will reflect that expertise.

I take an eclectic approach to therapeutic modalities, incorporating psychodynamic and relational approaches with specific CBT, DBT, and mindfulness skills. I believe that exploring our past experiences and the ways we carry patterns of relating to people throughout our lives is the bedrock of therapeutic change, but that at times, it is important to focus on here and now skills in order to deal with acute crises.

I have been in private practice for over 25 years, seeing a wide range of people. I see teens and adults for individual psychodynamic psychotherapy, and also counsel couples and parents. I specialize in play therapy with children. I see clients for short-term as well as long-term therapy depending on their needs.

The goal is to promote self-understanding, self acceptance and a happier life.

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.
