I offer couples counseling and individual psychotherapy, and use a great deal of humor and compassion in my work.

This means that I utilize both short-term AND long-term therapeutic methodologies. I specialize in working with people who are depressed, anxious, suffering from sexual or relationship issues, daunted by the problems they face, or who find themselves creatively blocked, or not living up to their potential in their vocation, or who wish to guide their careers to new heights and new directions.

We all experience bumps in the road during life, such as traumas, divorce, family issues, or loss of loved ones.

Together, we can map out a better picture of how your life events affected paths made along the way and use these insights to improve your relationships and develop your goals into realities.

In my 20+ years of experience working with adults and couples, I believe that the therapeutic relationship and the safety it provides is key to change. My expertise lies in helping my clients work through their depression, anxiety and relationship issues. As an EMDR trained therapist I help my clients desensitize and reprocess traumatic memories and break free of the distorted negative beliefs they developed in a dysfunctional or addicted family system. The link between childhood trauma exposure and substance abuse is well established. EMDR can help treat alcohol and drug addiction by treating the trauma that underlies it.

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.

I treat patients utilizing a relational analytic style. Family and personal issues are addressed. I specialize in physical symptoms as a pathway for heightened conscious awareness and psychological health.

As a Psychotherapist in East Hampton, NY, I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with relationship difficulties, divorce, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, eating disorders, low self-esteem, and a wide range of other concerns. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and to lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

I work with adolescents, adults and couples. To explore unsatisfying relationships and issues of personal identity, I draw on concepts from dynamic, relational and cognitive behavioral psychology. I see psychotherapy as a collaboration, a co-creation between therapist and patient.

I treat individuals and couples using both short and long term treatment techniques. There is a writers' saying: 'How can I know what I think until I hear what I say?' This applies to psychotherapy as well. Talking about your problems and concerns with a trained, empathic listener is often the best way to discover both your issues and their solutions. I use a great deal of humor and compassion in my work. Psychotherapy is particularly helpful in working with relationships, career issues and ambivalence in choices.
