"To change is to grow! The more we change, the more we grow!"

I imagine that you are seeking therapy because you feel depressed or anxious and want to explore what troubles you and why. Maybe you're unhappy at work, or aren't getting along with a partner, or are grieving the loss of someone dear to you. Therapy is a safe place where you can be yourself and open up about the difficulties you're having. Together we will identify how you get in your own way and work to remove the blocks that weigh you down and keep you from achieving your goals and more contentedly living your life.

Online Therapy only. Medicare accepted. Men in ACA: Welcome. Your Symptoms: Anger, Anxiety, Depression, CPTSD, Chronic Trauma from childhood. "I feel angry or frustrated all the time! I'm easily triggered and over-react. I need to stand up for myself but how and what to say in a way they can hear me? I can't seem to keep a healthy relationship going.

I specialize in depression and anxiety. Sometimes we are depressed/anxious because of natural events (e.g. a family loss, career challenges, etc...), and other times we feel depressed/anxious without knowing why, as if our mind was hiding the distress source. Whether we are able or unable to make out the reasons of our depression/anxiety, therapy can be a journey of self-discovery to alleviate these problems.

It's amazing: talking in therapy is such a simple act, with powerful results. What keeps getting in the way of satisfaction--in relationships, in work? The patient and I form a sort of detective team to investigate this question. When self-defeating patterns of thinking and behavior come into conscious awareness, it becomes possible to make informed decisions, to act in ways that make life better. Therapy is serious, but it can be something to enjoy and look forward to. Depression and anxiety, isolation, anger, loneliness--all are states that we can address in treatment, with understanding, patience and respect.

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in New York and New Jersey with over 15 years of counseling experience.

In addition, I work with an acupuncturist, when appropriate, co-treating clients who suffer from physical and/ or emotional pain.

I believe that happiness is available to everyone, but sometimes we are taken off the path of our true happiness - we loose our way. That way is often through relationships - beginning with the relationship with oneself.

In my practice I try to customize the therapy to the needs of each individual patient--whether the person is looking for help with a short-term, acute crisis; a longer-term but more focused problem, such as depression or anxiety; or more deeply entrenched difficulties with identity, relationships, or general sense of direction and meaning in life. Regardless of the treatment approach used, however, all effective therapy is built on a foundation of trust, compassion and empathy. I therefore work to build a collaborative relationship with my patients, so we can work together to achieve agreed-upon goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who helps adults, adolescents, and couples understand and cope with difficult feelings and behaviors that are getting in their way. Sometimes we feel inexplicably sad, lonely, withdrawn, defeated, alienated, anxious, or self-defeating. These feelings can impact our lives and relationships in a negative way. By exploring and understanding these feelings and behaviors together, we can begin to work on changing the negative patterns and to restore a sense of connection and engagement.

Connecting with people in meaningful ways is central to the process of healing. I help by listening carefully and without judgement, working with you to understand challenges you face in the world, challenges that may emerge as we engage in our therapeutic process. My interest is in partnering with you to create a space where you come to develop a deeper, broader, more flexible experience of yourself, where you come to feel more aligned with the world outside.

Do you find you're constantly asking yourself, "Should I or shouldn't I"? Often, what we want is at odds with what we believe we should do, say, or feel. We become sad, anxious, avoidant, indecisive, insecure, guilt-ridden, and ashamed as a result of being at war within ourselves. We remain stuck in our suffering rather than clarifying our dilemmas, solving them, and moving on with our lives. I aim to help get patients unstuck and free to live a more satisfying and self-aware life. I've been told by patients that I am friendly and non-judgmental, and that I have a calm presence which helps them open up.
