I am a clinical psychologist and have been in practice for 30 years in both Connecticut and New York. At the moment, I am only working remotely, but have an office on the Upper West side need be.

I am a licensed Social Worker who works with clients using relational therapy techniques. I am relaxed and find that a back and forth conversation about issues, goals and personal motivation works best. At this unprecedented time of global uncertainty, it is important to talk through feelings of fear and sadness and to identify personal strengths and resilience giving individuals the tools to live with self-awareness and joy. I have great faith in individuals and their need and desire to live life as their best selves. I am very comfortable with Zoom conferencing or a phone call for a session during COVID times.

As a therapist, I love working with children: learning about their families, their strengths, challenges, the problems which are worrying them and affecting their behavior. In our sessions we play and create things together, as play is the medium of communication for children in therapy, equivalent to adults' verbal engagement. Through talk and play, we develop an authentic emotional connection, in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. Trust and collaboration are essential to the work of therapy for children as well as adults.

The young adult and adult clients are often struggling with becoming independent, careers and relationships.

Couples present with a variety of problems often related to unrealistic expectations, reactivity to each other based on unresolved family issues. I would explore these issues and help the couple try to negotiate their differences

For someone to undertake therapy is almost always fraught with anxiety. Who is this person I am trusting with my thoughts and feelings? Will she understand me?

I have many years of experience in working with people facing relationship difficulties, the challenge of using their skills to their best advantage, and in helping adults to navigate the challenges of parenting.
