Therapy is a creative process that could provide new perspectives to expand our sense of being in a safe and collaborative relationship. I work with adult individuals, couples, families, adolescents and kids. I enjoy working with international individuals and families. A particular interest of mine are issues of cultural identity and ways in which culture inflects the experience of selfhood.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. I see therapy as a powerful two-person process of discovery and acceptance. In session we laugh, we cry, we understand and we grow. We read over the past, stay rooted in the present, and look forward to a more balanced and fulfilling future. My integrative approach to treatment is rooted in interpersonal psychodynamic theory, but also drives from other models to meet each person's unique needs. My areas of expertise include trauma work, college mental health, issues related to international relocation, cultural integration, study abroad, body-mind balance, and adoption.

I'm passionate about helping men, women, and young people escape anguish and giving them the skills they need to lead fulfilling lives. My approach to therapy is based on two principles. The first is to begin with a thorough clinical evaluation in order to proceed with the most effective evidence-based form of treatment. The second is to create a supportive and safe environment in which each client feels comfortable enough to do the difficult work of confronting and overcoming their issues. No matter how deep your pain, I believe you have the ability to lead a better life.

I am internationally recognized for helping people break negative patterns and improve communication in their relationships. For over 35 years, I've led groups for eating disorder recovery & self-esteem enhancement. I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples and families challenged by depression, various forms of addictions, including co-dependency. I help people manage anger, stress and emotional struggles. With compassion and creativity, I actively engage with people to foster resilience, confidence and self-worth in order to mobilize their strengths, fortify their sense of value and embrace their life journey.

I am a certified psychotherapist and treat individuals with symptoms such as anxiety or depression, reflecting deeper unresolved emotional conflicts that need processing and working-through. These conflicts cause mental pain and can negatively affect all areas of the individual's life: personal and professional relationships, intimate relationships, career development, general physical health and well-being. My orientation is psychodynamic. I am an out-of-network provider and can give receipts for reimbursement.

I specialize in short-term intensive psychotherapy and long-term psychotherapy with children, adolescents, adults, and families, and I conduct psychological testing. My work with children and adolescents has involved helping them navigate a range of emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties. I have worked in private and public schools and counseled parents to help them advocate for their children's needs. My work with adults has included serving in outpatient and inpatient settings to address a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties managing stressors, relationship, career and marital problems.

Life has become an endless string of chores. You've gotten good at smiling on the outside, but internally you're just going through the motions. The loneliness, exhaustion, and lack of motivation are eating at you. Despite the well-meant advice from friends and family members you still feel stuck, unable to live your life fully. You know you desperately need to find meaning and purpose, but you barely know how you got here, much less how to begin fixing it. Symptoms of depression are often related to traumatic experiences.

I am a Licensed Psychologist specialized in individual, couples, family, and group psychotherapy. I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and psychodynamic theory to guide treatment in my private practice at NYU Psychiatry Associates. I see individuals and lead skills groups for those seeking help with emotion dysregulation, interpersonal difficulties, and crisis management. My interests also lie in working with anxiety and depressive symptoms associated with infertility, pregnancy, and work-family balance.

Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision; one that takes courage and often comes with some anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. I consider empathy, sympathy, and honesty are the key elements to a nurturing and successful therapeutic relationship. I’ve spent the last 4 years training and working with clients at institutions such as New York Presbyterian, New York University and Cornell Medical College. *** Hablo Espanol*****

I primarily use psychodynamic, systemic, experiential and culturally sensitive approaches to accompany the client throughout the journey of self discovery. With emphasis on awareness and insight, I encourage individuals and couples to seek solutions that resonate with their individual and relational needs. The struggle to overcome adverse experiences, can be a product of sociocultural system, family context, early attachment and relationships which reflect a stigmatized idea of self.
