As a creative arts therapist and EMDR practitioner, I work with people who struggle with depression, PTSD, work issues, and substance abuse. My practice includes children , adolescents and adults struggling with a wide range of issues. My style is warm, interactive, supportive, and practical. I meet people where they are to best help them feel safe as we work together. I have been in private practice for 20 years.

I work with all ages, but specialize in children , adolescents and young adults. My approach is eclectic, grounded in a psychodynamic orientation that utilizes a variety of tools, tailored to individual needs. My clients and I work toward goals in a non-judgmental atmosphere of empathy and understanding. Some issues I have been able to help people with are: relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, self esteem, parenting, childhood issues such as separation anxiety, behavior and school problems, ADD, adoption, and divorce. I also have experience with artists and the issues they face. Therapy makes positive change!

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I seek to build strong relationships with my clients that involve warmth, trust, and collaboration, which serve as the foundation for meaningful growth and change. I believe in joining with every client, respectfully and without judgment, to improve the nature of their relationships, better understand their emotional world, and cope with stress.

I am a New York State licensed clinical psychologist with training from UCLA and Columbia University in the assessment and treatment of anxiety and compulsive disorders. I am committed to working collaboratively with my clients to improve their quality of life. I strive to help my clients clarify their goals and learn the skills they need to achieve them.

I am passionate about providing high quality, evidence-based services to all clients as a psychotherapist, and mindfulness instructor. Adult clients come to me for a variety of reasons including anxiety, depression, work stress, relationship issues, parenting questions. Loss and grief are often the root of their issues. I support clients of all ages experiencing grief. Having experienced personal losses and not always received the right kind of support, I believe we need to change the conversation around grief. I am a spiritual person who welcomes clients interested in incorporating spirituality into the sessions.

I am a clinical social worker with experience and interest in caring for children and adolescents, and working with parents and schools as partners. My style is practical and solution-focused, with emphasis on the relationship between the child and parents in an attempt to decrease conflict and hostility. With a background in a psychiatric setting, I also bring to my work experience with behavioral techniques, and a respect for parental decisions regarding medication use.

I work with children , teens, young adults and parents to help identify the root cause of disruptive or challenging behaviors that are affecting life at school or within the home environment. My clients are often dealing with anxiety, education challenges, impulse control issues, peer conflict, family conflict, life transitions, school refusal and more. I work with parents to provide a different perspective on the unmet needs that often cause the disruptions in every day life.

I am warm, open and intentional. I believe that therapy works best when it is viewed as a partnership. Whether working with individuals or members of a family system, I attend carefully to each client's goals and form relationships essential for accomplishing these goals. In my doctoral training, I specialized in working with children , teens, young adults, parents and families in various clinical settings, including hospital-based clinics, community health centers, specialized treatment programs, private practices, and therapeutic schools.

In my current virtual practice I am working with many age groups dealing with the anxiety of trying to cope: with getting ready for college; with city life and roommates; with relationship partners; with making decisions to move ahead with relationship commitment, or not and if so, how; all ages attempting to cope with remote work and cramped living arrangements; and the pain and changed nature of our current city life. I help patients seeking relationships, fixing them and leaving them.

I am a bilingual clinician, with training both in France and the US. I first practiced in Paris as a clinical psychologist, and I now work as a clinical social worker in New York. I work with children , adolescents and adults who suffer from day to day struggles or severe difficulties. I provide a safe space where patients can explore and work through their emotional and social problems, or in the case of children where they can play them out. Although therapy may be difficult at first, I know from experience that it is well worth the effort.

I have practiced art therapy and verbal psychotherapy in NYC for 25 years. In private practice for the past 20 years, I have designed an original line of Creative Tools that fall within the disciplines of both Art Therapy and Creative Writing/Poetry therapy.

I have been invited to design and staff Art Therapy programs in some of these facilities. Trained at NYU, I work there as a Clinical Supervisor and Guest Lecturer.

I believe children and parents can have a happy time together. All children as they grow and all parents as they go through parenting encounter kinks in their development. I like to help children and adolescents learn to listen to and express their feelings directly and to help parents learn how to listen and communicate better with their children . With over 25 years of experience working individually with children and parents, in play group therapy and in parenting groups, I know how to use the strengths of each, child and parent, to promote better understanding of themselves and each other.

I am a licensed psychologist specilizing in working with children and families.

Coming from an outpatient mental health setting I have experience with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety/depression, peer problems, mood disorders, ADHD and behavior problems.
