I focus on anxiety, depression, self-compassion, grief, and I love supporting individuals/couples through life transitions. I have a passion for helping new and hopeful parents navigate the family-building process, (be it pregnancy, postpartum mental health, child/pregnancy loss, IVF, adoption, guardianship/foster care, and the baby/toddler years). Non-traditional family structures are warmly welcome here! My background in early childhood development and parent/child relationships gives me a unique perspective and the ability to support those struggling through the adjustment period of creating a family.

I work with depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, acculturation challenges, adoption/infertility, loss/bereavement, trauma and life transitions.
Sometimes, despite your best efforts to deal with the inevitable challenges of life you feel stuck and unable to achieve what you set out to accomplish. Your usual ways of coping are not working or may be getting in the way. Seeking help from a highly trained and experienced psychotherapist is an important first step. Psychotherapy may help you clarify the unsuccessful patterns you engage in, become aware of the past and present sources that keep these patterns in place, and identify your internal resources to overcome the obstacles that block you from achieving the growth and lasting change you seek.

I also specialize in adoption, parenting and maternal mental health.
I continue to be amazed by the power of relationships to heal the deepest, most persistent sources of pain. I am committed to helping people make contact with the parts of themselves that are whole and healthy, those that remain intact despite the traumas and difficulties they have endured. I do this by paying close attention to the feelings and thoughts that emerge in the present, while also listening for outdated, limiting or wounded parts of the self. Leading with my belief in the potential to heal, we work collaboratively to harness innate resources for growth, resilience, and change.

Additionally, I specialize in issues surrounding adoption- of adult adoptees and of parents who struggle with their unique concerns.
How many of us want to change those dysfunctional parts of ourselves and the often accompanying sadness, anger, and anxiety but find we run into a wall over and over? Whether in intimate relationships, in friendships, in collegial relationships, or those with our family members, the familiar patterns continue to create distress and often a sense of failure. We can then find ourselves repeating destructive scenarios. I have had success in challenging these unhealthy patterns leading clients to be more present and emotionally honest in all of their relationships.

I have worked on resolving relationship conflicts, eating disorders, infertility issues, adoption concerns, and on anxiety, insomnia, depression, and traumatic stresses.
I believe that we seek treatment when we feel dissatisfied in our relationships, careers, or with ourselves. We might not be aware that our emotional conflicts block us from achieving what we want. Change and flourishing of creativity can occur when the analyst creates an accepting and safe environment for expression and exploration of all dimensions of our experiences. I am an experienced analyst with over twenty years of practice working with children, adolescents, adults and couples in Manhattan and Great Neck.

I help people with conflicts in: interracial identity; adolescent-young adult identity and ethnic identity; intergenerational relationships; interracial relationships; and adoption. Such conflicts often coexist with struggles in mood regulation, depression, and anxiety, for which there are effective psychological treatments and healthy solutions.

The adoption and LGBTQ community often feel shut down.
Hello, I'm Mark. I specialize in LGBTQ+, adoption, trauma, and anxiety related issues. Do you feel overwhelmed, unheard, sad, or frustrated? Does internalized homophobia hinder your ability to create the life and relationships you desire? Do you compartmentalize your feelings and responses in different places or have hard time expressing your needs? Traumas has a way of preventing you from moving forward in your life. Finding solutions is easier when we break them down into smaller pieces or view them from different perspectives. These are some of the areas I can help you express your needs, feel heard and live the life you want.
