Teletherapy for New York, NY

As a native New Yorker, I understand how overwhelming the pressure to succeed can be. I work with adults, couples & families who want to see real changes. My experience includes working in a mental health clinic, on a forensic ACT team, as a geriatric care manager for high net-worth elderly individuals & their caregivers, counseling survivors of sexual assault, families interfacing with the foster care system & adults in the criminal justice system. Whatever your current struggle is, I focus on “progress, not perfection.” I’ll hold you accountable, always treating you with respect, sensitivity, honesty and compassion.

Covid-19 has brought the world of mental health fragility to a new level never seen before. The isolation and loneliness felt by everyone from children to the elderly has caused a rise in depression, anxiety and fear regarding every day life and the future. These strains are unhealthy emotionally and physically and need attention to avoid lasting impressions. The working relationship in therapy is to define underlying issues, stuck thought patterns and transform negative behavior to evolve into a positive and thriving attitude and consequently, life choices. We will join together to create the life you desire, as I help guide you.

When life feels difficult, talking to a friend or loved one may be helpful. But when life starts to feel overwhelming, or even senseless, talking to a sensitive, caring professional who is trained to listen and knows what to listen for can help understand our feelings and how to deal with them. I have years of experience with illness, loss and the need to find purpose. My emphasis is on two-way communication, not just through words, but through feelings and actions. I will work with you to help you gain insight into yourself and others, and live as satisfying and productive a life as possible--I know it's not easy.

Every person has a unique personality and philosophy on life. Because of this, every person needs to be treated differently. This requires a unique psychotherapist, with a wide range of experience and a wealth of knowledge. Whether you're a young person, or an older person, you need expert guidance to effectively treat your issue.

If you're affected by daily stresses of life, significant issues related to depression, anxiety or interpersonal relationships, I am a New York licensed psychologist and certified psychoanalyst that will help you resolve these problems. Clients gain insight into what's troubling them so that they can manage their issues more effectively. I work in an intimate setting, situated in a comfortable environment overlooking a private garden. It is a safe and confidential space. I work with people who are having difficulty developing and or maintaining significant relationships, experiencing depression, anxiety, low self esteem, feelings of being unlovable, or "just getting by" rather than thriving.

I have learned the "connection" we make in therapy will lead to fruitful change. We begin by working on very specific concerns, to the more elusive, abstract conflicts of a more esoteric life that aren't so simple to characterize. Everyone comes to therapy with different hopes, unique needs, and a desire to seek what is transformational. I work to create a trusting relationship with all of my patients. In the initial sessions, I focus on what brings you to therapy at this moment in time and to establish a working rapport where you feel safe and listened to, without judgement. Therapy is a unique opportunity to find your voice,

I am a psychologist practicing individual and group therapy with adults across the lifespan, from college aged people to older adults. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, substance use, out of control sexual behavior, self-defeating behaviors, trauma, grief, and feelings of inadequacy. I have worked extensively with LGBT+ people, individuals with chronic medical conditions, and with older adults. I have a particular expertise in working with individuals living with HIV.

My decision to become a therapist evolved as my values, my own understanding of the world & my place in it, broadened. It is this evolution that I work to facilitate for my patients as they seek to find their unique places in the world. I believe in relationship therapy, with both a psychodynamic & open systems theory base. I try to account for both environmental & hereditary variables in the treatment paradigm using direct intervention & a mix of traditional psychodynamic & psychoanalytic techniques, including CBT & DBT elements.

Therapy can provide a path to relieving distress and gaining invaluable self awareness. I offer my patients a safe space through which they can better understand their feelings and experiences and develop skills to cope with stressors. I work predominantly as an insight-oriented therapist, understanding how the past elucidates present difficulties, but also help patients examine problematic patterns of thought or behavior when relevant. I believe in a collaborative approach to treatment, developing individualized goals with patients and regularly checking in about how they are experiencing the process of therapy.

I work from a strengths-based perspective with the belief that we all possess unique skills and abilities that can help us transcend painful circumstances, leading us to a recognition of the richness and meaning that is possible in our lives. I have worked extensively with individuals (from college age to older adulthood) and couples dealing with mental health issues such as depression; anxiety; trauma; problems in relationships; substance abuse; and bipolar disorder. I formerly specialized in psychotherapy with older adults at UCLA Health in LA for almost 10 years before moving to NYC in 2023. Now licensed in NY, NJ, CA, and MA.

Hello. Are you struggling with a difficult problem? I would like to help. You will receive exceptional, personalized treatment backed by over 20 years of success. I know your situation is unique.

My primary goals as a clinical psychologist are to help you:(1) live your life more fully, (2) feel more comfortable with and better about yourself, and (3) cope more productively with any stressors that you are facing. With this in mind, my therapeutic focus will be to provide you with the personal support that you need to make the changes that you want, and teach you specific techniques that you can use. We will do this in as time and cost efficient a manner as possible. Together, we will construct a new roadmap for you to use.

Therapy works, and people can change. In my practice people stop acting like marionettes dangling on invisible ropes and feeling "out of control" or stuck in repetitive, unproductive destructive motions. Together, we rewrite your story and free you to choose new, productive, more authentic and organic behaviors. You will figure out what you really want and how to get it. You will also learn that you can't get a quick fix. It took you many years to "create" yourself the way you are, and you need to acknowledge and respect this creatively devised mechanism.

Coping with life isn't always easy but can be more meaningful with someone to share your hopes and dreams with as well as your challenges and worries. Sometimes changes in moods and emotions can seem confusing and even scary in both ourselves and in others and make us question who we are and who the other person is. We are always in relationships with ourselves and with others at home, at work, in school, in our past and present. What and who do you want in your life? What brought you to where you are today and where do you want to go from here? Who do you want to be? These and other questions will be explored and entertained.
