Therapists in Lincoln Square, New York, NY

When someone seeks psychotherapy, it is to address questions, suffering, a dissatisfaction, unmooredness, or a desire for something to be different.

I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds dealing with a wide range of concerns. Clients seek therapy for a number of reasons: some need guidance through grief and uncertainty, others feel stuck, and some want to understand themselves better. Ultimately, my job is to guide a client through revelations, insights, and desires; to help them explore and understand what drives them and what might interfere with their journey; to support them in discovering the best relationship with themself and others.

I appreciate the courage and determination one needs to begin psychotherapy and the importance of finding a therapist with whom to establish a genuine connection. With that in mind, I strive to provide an empathic, collaborative, and supportive relationship with my clients. I believe that our psychological development continues throughout life and that the process of psychotherapy provides challenging opportunities with which to identify, understand, and resolve problems. Psychotherapy has the potential to increase understanding of the powerful influences of our past and to provide insight into how and why they have an impact on our present behaviors and beliefs.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed by something in your life? Do you feel conflicted between parts of yourself? Are you frightened by something that others seem to do easily? I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, phobias, eating disorders, and trauma.

My aim as a mental health counselor is to create an empathetic and curiosity-driven environment for clients’ to pursue and explore growth, well-being, and authenticity. I strive to create an LGBTQIA+-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, and culturally-informed environment where clients can experience connection and compassion in the therapeutic relationship and with themselves. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that works towards clients’ goals by examining emotions, thoughts, the mind-body connection, and relational patterns.

Trained in both classical and contemporary analysis, I focus on depression and anxiety, sexual and relationship issues, trauma and self-identity problems. We would start with a consultation and our goal would be to establish a fruitful connection from the beginning. My other goals include helping you with your feelings, the troubling ones that return unwanted. I have found listening well is at least as important as talking well. Speech contains levels of meaning and so does silence. We discourse together in a dialogue leading to better relationships, better functioning, and better experiences.

As a clinical psychologist, I meet my patients exactly where they are. We work together to bring about symptom relief from the issues that have led them to therapy; to change longstanding negative patterns which continue to get in the way. The goal is to create and sustain a happier, meaningful and more fulfilling life. I have worked in many NYC hospitals including Mt. Sinai and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, as well as a fellowship at the William Alanson White Institute. Using an eclectic approach, I practice cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and psychoanalytic techniques to tailor treatment to each individual's needs.

They want to be free of their emotional suffering, negative beliefs, and maladaptive behaviors to be fully present in their life and relationships and have clarity & confidence.

Life is complex, and at some point, we all experience heartache. Emotions right now can be heightened or numbed. Stress, loss, or a feeling of being stuck may be compounded. I believe, however, that mitigating suffering and creating meaningful change is possible — even amidst difficult circumstances. It is my hope as your therapist to best support you through this process.

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from a variety of clinical theory, techniques, and empirical research ranging from psychoanalysis to cognitive behavioral therapy, tailoring the treatment to meet the unique needs of the individual. Ultimately, I believe, and research shows, that the effectiveness of therapy across approaches depends on the quality of the relationship. That is, it has to be “a good fit” and occur in the context of a safe, supportive, compassionate and confidential environment.
