Group Health Incorporated (GHI) Therapists in New York, NY
My aim as a psychotherapist is to provide a supportive and safe environment where open expression and exploration of thoughts and feelings can freely take place while a trusting therapeutic relationship is established. In a collaborative process, together we may explore underlying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors leading to new insights and greater understanding of one self.

Ultimately my interest is to help you realize and achieve your full potential in every capacity of your life, be it personal, relational, or professional.

I believe that therapy is, among other things, a relationship in which two people share the goal of better understanding the aspirations and difficulties that impede a person's ability to becoming his or her true, authentic self. When there is trust and cooperation, clients are able to discover aspects of themselves they did not know were there and to achieve more productive and satisfying lives. I initially studied English literature and a number of years later, obtained a masters degree in psychology and a MSW from NYU.
