I truly love being a Psychologist and feel privileged to be a part of my patients' lives. I see adults of all ages in my New York City psychotherapy practice, which focuses on lawyers, other high level professionals, graduate students, in a safe and supportive environment. My style is an interactive one. It is important that you feel heard and understood. Anxiety, depression, relationships, self esteem, life and career transitions, and identity issues are part of my focus, although I am also trained in and definitely welcome assisting people in other challenges that we, as humans, experience.

Are you struggling in your relationship with family, a partner, or friends? Are you feeling down or have low self-esteem? Have you recently experienced a crisis, a death, or a major change? Or are you, as a couple, finding yourselves in the same pattern of arguments, looking for relief? When faced with these challenges, some of the healing power comes from being able to voice it in a safe space with the support and compassion of a therapist. I'll work with you to explore what you're going through in a warm, non-judgmental way. Because we are each built differently, I apply an eclectic approach to cater to each person's needs.

The sage Lao Tzu said, "At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want". There is a deep drive inside of us to form meaningful connections to ourselves, to family, and to community. This is a journey you do not have to take alone. My clients have come to me when going through such life changes, crisis, burnout, the end of a relationship, or a major job shift. I help them navigate these rocky waters and provide a safe haven for them to be seen, heard, validated, understood, and - if need be - challenged.
