Oscar Health Therapists in Upper East Side, New York, NY

I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years, addressing problems of anxiety, depression, stress, eating disorders, ADHD and relationships. I have also taught graduate students and supervised psychology interns. My approach to therapy is interactive and I use psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral principles. However, I adapt my practice techniques to the unique needs of each individual. My overall goal is to increase self-awareness and self-esteem, improve the quality of relationships and increase coping skills for dealing with the conflicts of everyday life.

As a therapist with a disability, I have a deep appreciation for life's challenges, pain, loss and suffering. I have learned the art of "transforming obstacles into opportunities," with the help of my guide dog Faith, as she literally guides me around obstacles, and has enhanced my life, turning around an otherwise insurmountable feat. Decades of clinical and life experience, keen intuition, along with compassion and a holistic, evidenced-based approach, and a sense of humor, are some of the key ingredients leading my clients towards feeling better, finding direction and actualizing potential.

As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients build resilience, discover their strengths, and feel healthy, and strong. My therapeutic approach is tailored to specific needs of my clients. I integrate mindfulness, psychodynamic therapy, CBT, hypnotherapy, EMDR to help my clients to deal with past trauma, difficult life transitions or any ongoing life stressors. My style is warm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and collaborative aimed at creating a hopeful, productive, and trusting therapeutic environment.

Going through very stressful, frightening or distressing events is sometimes called trauma. When we talk about emotional or psychological trauma, we might mean situations or events we find traumatic how we're affected by our experiences. What's traumatic is personal. Other people can't know how you feel about your own experiences or if they were traumatic for you. You might have similar experiences to someone else but be affected differently. Can trauma cause mental health problems? Trauma can sometimes directly cause mental health problems or make you more vulnerable to developing them.

I am working in person and telehealth. My clients are seeking to reach goals, make changes in themselves or relationships, work through traumatic injuries and improve the quality of their lives and those of their loved ones. It is helpful for clients to know that every person and family is unique and the therapeutic journey is something that needs to be individualized.

My goal is to create a safe space for my clients on their journey to personal growth and healing. I believe that everyone's story is unique to them and will develop a personalized approach for each client using evidence based treatment.
