If you are interested in improving your marriage, relationship, parenting, or your self - you arrived to the right place. My goal is to be a partner to your journey, to the change you wish to make in your life, and to help you move forward, happier, more aware, and more complete with yourself, your family or your better half. My therapeutic approach concentrates on short-term treatment and emphasizes on a more open, mutual relationship. Our first phone conversation will be a short complimentary consultation, in which you'll be able to ask me anything about the process or about me.

I have a long track of success treating people of all ages, in the individual, couples, family, and groups modalities. Special experience working with PTSD, LGBTQ issues and trauma. I also have provided treatment for people in the Autism spectrum. I can provide services in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Hebrew. I have a robust system to provide you with the state of the art Telehealth services.

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). For 20+ years, my practice has included individual therapy, career-counseling, and executive coaching. I accept many insurance plans and utilize a high range of treatment tools that contribute to my high rate of LONG-LASTING SUCCESS. My style is interactive and practical and focuses on applicable coping skills. I personalize treatment for you as a unique individual and a partner for change. I work in English and in Hebrew.

I believe in the power of therapeutic relationship and every person’s innate ability to cope and grow. My role is to support you in your pursuit of better relationships, positive changes, more presence and meaning. I currently work with online clients only and accept NY state insurances. Out-of-state residents are also welcome to inquire. I am also an active public speaker and educator on topics of modern relationships, parenting, and sex education offering interactive lectures in Europe and US. I draw on my own multicultural experience having lived and studied in 3 different countries and fluent in English, Russian and Hebrew.

I have extensive experience providing psychotherapy, supervising (Columbia & CUNY) and teaching graduate students . I specialize in treating anxiety (panic, social), depression, low self worth, attachment difficulties, perinatal depression/anxiety, and adjustment to parenting. I provide psychotherapy to those who are dissatisfied with their interpersonal relationships or with their career and who aspire to lead a meaningful life. Psychotherapy leads to greater self-knowledge, to making healthier life choices, to improving relationships and to greater self acceptance and confidence. Ineffective coping are replaced by healthier ones.

Deciding to start therapy is a courageous act. I understand how difficult it is to acknowledge that change cannot wait. The idea of letting someone you have never met into such vulnerability—and entrusting that person to embrace it and nurture it—feels daunting. I honor the opportunity to accept your weaknesses while working with you to uncover and fortify your unique strengths. By exploring the roots of an issue—whether it is family conflict or an eating disorder—I will guide you towards a shift in perspective and behavior that will result in a happier, more easeful existence

With more than 20 years of experience. I am a mature and well prepared licensed psychotherapist and psychoanalyst (Trilingual: Spanish, English and Hebrew) ready to provide high-quality psychotherapy to adults from a diverse ethnic and cultural background. My clinical work is profoundly influenced by my solid clinical skills, the integration of different modalities, a profound capacity to empathized and care for my patients and a passion and strong ethics for the therapeutic work.

Finding the right therapist is the first step towards healing and the relief of your pain. A trusting relationship is the essence of effective treatment. You need to feel connected and understood in order to share your internal world. My empathic capacities will enable you to feel safe enough to explore the problems which have hindered your life and relationships. My perspective is informed by contemporary relational psychoanalysis and I use psychodynamic methods to help us understand what makes you into you and recognize your potential, so you can become freer to change and be the author of your own life story.

We all have our stories to tell and narratives to make sense of our lives. But as you go through life, sometimes, things are not at all what they seem. What you feel inside and how you function in your life don’t always align. Hardships such as trauma, abuse, divorce, loss, and feelings of oppression mask and confuse our inner compass. We tend to hold conflict and unfinished business in our bodies. These experiences affect our relationships with others, but more importantly, affect our connection with ourselves.

My focus in treatment is to understand you as a whole person, to uncover with you your deepest desires, aversions and patterns of behavior that may be holding you back. In a welcoming and non-judgmental environment, you will discover who you are and what you authentically desire. Through the therapeutic process, you will be enabled to lead a more meaningful life and to establish more fulfilling relationships with healthier communication skills. We will work together to identify problems and solutions, and to help you be more effective overall in making decisions and reaching your goals.

My patients come to treatment to open up repressed parts of themselves. Sometimes, my patients are struggling to integrate family backgrounds, religious,or cultural with their lives today. They have often succeeded in their professional lives but feel stuck in their romantic or interpersonal lives.My patients usually bring a curiosity about how their history effects their present lives.They are interested in engaging in a treatment which examines this closely in order to understand why they are feeling blocked and to open up a greater sense of inner freedom in order to live more meaningful and fuller lives.

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 in the power of our therapeutic relationship, the ultimate yet genuine collaborative problem solving process. Together we will create positive change. I draw from my diverse psychology experiences, spanning schools, hospitals, day treatment programs, assessment centers, community mental health clinics, and private practice to tailor my interventions to meet your unique needs. My focus is providing concrete life skills while working through underlying issues and improving our everyday relationships. I view relationships as essential for helping to create change. The office has a room for testing and therapy and another for play therapy and PCIT.

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.
