Right now we all have issues dealing with Covid and perhaps entering into a different ways of being as the Covid threat lessens and society opens up. Things will be different, not as they were before, exactly. This is our chance to use the Covid pause and reevaluate where we are and where we would like to be.

I work with clients who struggle with a broad range of issues that inhibit intimacy in relationships, satisfaction in the workplace as well as a sense of meaning and fulfillment in life. Having trained in both the individual analytic model as well as family systems I view therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client intending on meeting agreed upon goals. My style is interpersonal and believe that goals are met in the context of a therapeutic relationship based on empathy, insight and trust.

Many individuals come to therapy after painful relationships with narcissistic, abusive or unavailable partners - or because they see these traits in themselves and want to change.
I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy, helping individuals understand the emotional patterns that shape their relationships, confidence and self-esteem. My work often focuses on narcissistic dynamics—whether in oneself or with others—and the struggle between dependence and autonomy, working toward greater authenticity and emotional connection.

I've worked 20 years with bright, sophisticated, professional men and women with clinical issues: parenting, intimacy, managing friendly and professional relationships, and Narcissistic PD.
Trained from a psychodynamic perspective, I'm committed to providing a warm environment allowing freedom of thought and imagination. In instances of particularly challenging personal or professional relationships, I offer specific advice in which one can stop explaining themselves and rebalance energy. It can be very effective even with only one partner.

It is in the depths of our psyche where fear and longing reside. We use tricks and masks to defend against knowing ourselves and yet yearn to be known, long to be recognized. The journey to discovery consists not only in what we say about ourselves but how we are listened to. It is in this unique place of psychoanalysis where the known and unknown, the conscious and the unconscious meet. Once we start to listen to the stories we tell about ourselves, and are heard, the mind is opened to a more expansive self and healing can begin.

Hi! I'm glad you're here! It takes courage to reach out for support, and you’ve already taken an important first step. Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by past trauma, or caught in the stress of high-conflict relationships with family, partners, or co-parents. Others are navigating the challenges of disability—whether their own or a loved one’s—and want a therapist who truly understands and affirms their experience.

I have 40 years experience, and am deeply committed to, treating adults between 25 and 65 years old. Men and women suffering from confusion, anxiety and depression as they struggle to realize their potential – in their professional, sexual and love life. The goal of my work with patients is to understand their personal complexity so that new and constructive patterns of living can be obtained. Most importantly, the working through process of psychoanalytic treatment leads to the development of a strong, creative self and a freeing up of one’s potential and direction going forward.

I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at Yeshiva University and psychoanalytic training at New York University. I have been in private practice for over 35 years, treating adolescents and adults. Most of the people I see, seek treatment to get help with difficulties in relationships. In psychotherapy, we identify repetitive patterns that interfere with the initiation and/or maintenance of intimate relationships. I also work with people who experience anxiety or depressive states.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists
What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.

How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.

Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.

How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
