Therapy is a collaborative partnership built on trust, empathy, and honesty. I strive to create an inviting, warm, safe space for my clients to explore, grow, and develop confidence and trust in themselves. As a therapist, I focus on the person, not just the problem. My goal is to provide support and help you hone in on your resilience and resourcefulness, so you leave our sessions feeling empowered, centered, and in control.

Congrats on taking the first step towards improving your life and thank you for allowing me to accompany you on your journey to fulfillment! My approach is grounded on the belief that every individual has the power and potential to create fulfillment in their lives when given the action tools and the opportunity to hear that still quiet voice guiding them "home." My approach is creative, spiritual and client centered. I employ multi-modalities including but not limited to psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Gestalt which I tailor to the clients’ individual style and needs.

Are you having trouble in your relationships, at work, or when you're alone, because of panic attacks, obsessions or compulsions? Has depression eroded your confidence and sapped the pleasure from life? Therapy can help. Are you looking for a new partner, or perhaps grieving a loss? Do you struggle at work or in school? Do you or someone you are caring for suffer from a medical illness? These are all very stressful situations, and a good time to talk with a trained professional. Therapy can help you increase space in your life for self-care and compassion, self-awareness and reflection, and provide support in making changes.

I offer adults and couples a collaborative approach to therapy that promotes healing changes. You'll find me to be a nonjudgemental, understanding & empathetic listener committed to helping you improve your relationships and life ambitions. In the course of our treatment learning to recognize the triggers that bring up your painful feelings which have created barriers to your goals, enables you to reevaluate them & opt for making more productive and beneficial choices. For thirty years I have integrated my psychoanalytic understandings with newer evidence based treatments to better suit your particular needs.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and culturally sensitive. I try to harness each person’s unique inner strengths to guide clients toward resilience, balance, and a sense of fulfillment. I work with adults who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship issues, transitions, as well as body and self-esteem issues. I integrate a combination of therapeutic modalities depending on the client’s unique needs. I offer guidance, support, and a safe space for exploration while recognizing that clients ultimately drive their healing process. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy sessions, both in English and in Hebrew.

I believe it is important to establish a safe and trusting environment and relationship with you.

I use a humanistic approach to my work and strive to help individuals and couples reach their highest state of self-awareness to maximize their potential. My therapeutic approach and orientation is specific and tailored to your needs. Additionally, I believe strongly in the power of client-centered therapy and trusting your system to guide the work.

We all deserve to be seen and heard in our fullness and complexity. I believe deeply in the therapeutic relationship as our central force, to make room for you to be heard in your authenticity, without judgment. I value fostering a space of curiosity, honesty, & safety, where we can work as partners to navigate challenges, process your experiences, gain insight into your inner world, & heal from pain and trauma. Whether you are getting stuck in anxious thought patterns, feeling lost, working through past and present trauma, my goal is to discover the strengths you already possess and expand to even better improve your life.

The reasons to seek therapy are endless: life changes, feelings of depression or anxiety, the realization that a change is needed, feeling lost or stuck, the loss of a loved one or any situation that brings us distress. Talking to someone about these circumstances can seem daunting, but it does not have to be. Therapy offers the ability to talk about your unique situation in a safe and compassionate environment. I provide a space for growth and healing where you will be supported and listened to without judgement.

The following questions are common: Why can’t I sleep? Why don’t I feel like myself? Why do I feel numb, depressed, anxious, stressed, and panicky? I cannot deal with my family, friends, or school and work! How do I deal with discrimination, oppression, microaggressions, marginalization, racism at work or school, etc.? The feelings and symptoms you are experiencing may be about your body and mind trying to adjust to difficult and stressful life experiences. These circumstances heavily impact your ability to stay positive and focus on work or school due to feeling. Especially with everything that’s going on in our world right now

I am well trained and seasoned by lots of life experience - you can talk to me about anything. A commitment to having a great life, combined with an openness to the support of others, makes anything possible. Being a therapist is my second profession; taken up after working in the investment banking business for more than twenty years. I have raised a family in New York City and have four grown children. Couples therapy, anger managment, addictions, and making major life changes are some of the areas in which I collaborate with my clients.

I value curiosity and connection. I entered this field with an understanding that taking care of our minds is essential to living healthy, fulfilling lives. I believe an important element of a healthy mind is healthy supports. I place emphasis on building a collaborative relationship, where with warmth and some good humor we can figure out together what a healthy mind might look like for you.

Human behavior is complicated. I help clients understand their own behavior and that of others so that they can improve their relationships, work effectively and lead the most fulfilling life possible. I have 20+ years of experience providing psychotherapy to children, teens, young adults, and families. I also have extensive experience working in special education as an evaluator and CSE chairperson. I am an REBT therapist. I incorporate trauma informed interventions and DBT /mindfulness techniques in session. My practice is 100% virtual and I work through headway so they will handle all of the insurance paperwork for you.

My practice is limited to adults who are wishing help with problems related to anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, child rearing and stress management. I have been in practice for over 25 years seeing individuals and couples. During the initial consultation, we will talk about the concerns that bring you to consult with a mental health professional. We will discuss the history of your concern. Once I understand the issues presented I will make a recommendation of how to proceed.

Seeking a therapist can be a daunting task, regardless of whether it’s an experience that’s familiar or one that’s new. Starting from the initial inquiry, my goal is to create a foundation of trust with my clients. Together, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy and discuss any priorities, goals, or values you may have. Therapy looks different for everyone, and over the course of treatment, we’ll collaborate to create a supportive and empowering therapeutic relationship that meets your needs.
