Empire BlueCross BlueShield Therapists in Upper East Side, New York, NY

Therapy with me is catered to you and the problems you bring to our sessions. I understand that you are the expert on your life and my role as your therapist is to aide you in finding the solutions that are not only practical, but address the issues that you believe are most important to you. Our first steps will be defining your goals for therapy and mapping out the steps you need to take to reach them, dealing with any bumps we might encounter along the way.

I welcome clients struggling with an array of issues from anxiety, codependency, addiction, and eating disorders. I am typically the best fit for people who are motivated and looking to make difficult changes in their life that they have struggled with managing on their own and need more support with. I offer a warm and inviting space to meet people where they are at and walk with them through the process. I gently challenge limiting beliefs, whether it is perfectionism or "not enoughness" that usually hold people back from being their most authentic and compassionate selves. My approach is direct and being active with clients.

Whether it's individual, couples, or group therapy, I strive to be a therapist who is challenging and direct without being judgmental; is open-minded and encouraging of my clients to explore options in their lives that may be different than my own or others around them. I am someone who doesn't rush to diagnose and pathologize, but rather to understand. And specifically and most importantly, I have a keen understanding of the intricacies of intimacy and sexuality within relationship to oneself and community.

The fact that you are here, tells me that you want to work on your "self". You want to see your truth, become stronger, and earn the ability to become self-reliant. Congratulations on taking these steps. You are one step closer to beginning your journey. I have been in the helping profession since 1987. My objective is to help people create positive changes in their lives. I provide a relaxed atmosphere, use modern clinical concepts, and work collaboratively with each individual, couple, or group. Individuals will hone in on their strengths for their personal growth and transformation.

It is my goal to help you identify the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, increase your self-awareness, and make connections that lead to the changes you want to see in your life. In therapy, we can build coping skills, start including self-compassion and self-love into our daily lives, improve emotional regulation, and recognize resilience in a non-judgemental, supportive, and validating space.

Are you feeling frustrated in your personal relationships? Unfulfilled in your work? Don't have a clear vision of the future? Therapy can be a powerful experience in which one grows and learns how to better cope with the various challenges and struggles in life.

Clients often begin therapy from an overwhelmed, entangled headspace, knowing innately there’s something they would like to work towards, but feeling uncertain of what that journey may look like. I strive to join you where you’re at, providing a safe, non-judgmental space to be heard. We will work together to uncover insights and gain clarity, drawing upon your own unique strengths, capabilities, and sense of self. My approach is eclectic and collaborative, beginning with your goals and hopes for treatment, and incorporating creative methods to work together in this pursuit. Our sessions are tailored to best suit your unique needs.

I am well trained and seasoned by lots of life experience - you can talk to me about anything. A commitment to having a great life, combined with an openness to the support of others, makes anything possible. Being a therapist is my second profession; taken up after working in the investment banking business for more than twenty years. I have raised a family in New York City and have four grown children. Couples therapy, anger managment, addictions, and making major life changes are some of the areas in which I collaborate with my clients.

I am a clinical psychologist with twenty-five years of experience in the practice, supervision and teaching of psychotherapy in New York. I would say my approach is warm, supportive and flexible--responsive to the challenge a client faces. I have served on the medical faculty of two universities, including seventeen years at Columbia, and try to balance the benefits of evidenced-based treatment with the sensitivity of psychoanalytic and family approaches; I am certified in these last two areas. My goal is to help clients overcome obstacles to working and loving with greater pleasure and clarity.

While NYC has much to offer, one can get caught up in the challenges and hardships that come along with the fast-paced and exhilarating life style. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, jobs, or having negative thoughts you just can’t seem to redirect, know that you don’t have to untangle them alone. It takes a great deal of courage to seek help, and doing so is the first step towards change. As a therapist, my role is to establish a secure and nurturing environment that allows for vulnerability, risk-taking, and discomfort in order to fuel self-exploration and promotes healing.

I am here to bring support to those who are in need of a safe, sound space. From physical health to emotional and spiritual wellness and balance, I act as a ‘soundboard’, a ‘guide’, an ‘advocate’ and experienced Integrative Psychotherapist to bring you a clear and peaceful path of healing, balance and growth. If you’re struggling with disordered eating patterns, anxiety and/or day to day stressors or if you’re feeling good and want a space ‘to call your own’, where you can think, talk and gain feedback, please reach out. Therapy is a wonderful tool for all matters and I provide a virtual space where you can explore and process.

If you have trouble meeting a life-partner, we should talk. Simlarly, if you have an issue with anxiety, let's discuss it. Life experience and training have given me some insight into backgrounds in religion, and ethnic minorities. I'm multilingual, but the main thing is to understand you. I've had almost 35 years of experience in learning how to do that.
