We all struggle to improve our lives - to change and grow in ways that make us feel more fulfilled. As a psychotherapist for over 20 years, I often see people who are stuck, in unsatisfying relationships or jobs, alcohol/drug dependence or struggling with anxiety, depression or fears that hold them back from living more fully. My background in fine arts and personal experience as a painter has made me especially attuned to issues of artists who feel blocked in their creativity. Helping people with inhibitions in expressing feelings and asserting themselves is another area of interest.

My philosophy is to provide a safe, nurturing and caring environment for my clients in order for the healing process to begin. I have worked extensively with adults, adolescents and children. My goal is to allow the client to feel strengthened and to discover new potentials for restoration, progress and transformation.

One of my favorite quotes is from Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." Our brokenness can cause us so much pain and turmoil, and yet it is that very brokenness or imperfection that can help us uncover our greatest potential. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help you tap into that luminous potential in order to unlock more choices in your life and to further personal growth.

I am a psychotherapist graduated from New York University and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in the field. In addition, I received training in Mindfulness from Cambridge Health Alliance of Harvard Medical School which I encounter to be an interesting complement and a powerful tool to increase tolerance for painful emotions as well as an enhancing ability to remain attentive. My approach stresses the therapeutic relationship as a central vehicle for transformation subsuming empathy, unconditional positive regard and genuine.

Who would you be without the burdens you carry? Whether you are struggling through a crisis, experiencing a loss, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or addiction, you don't have to go it alone. Life events often create mental and emotional blocks that keep you feeling stuck. Together we will identify issues, dysfunctional patterns of behavior, maladaptive coping mechanisms, and other barriers that are preventing you from being where you want to be personally and/or professionally. We will start with where you are right now and build on your strengths so you can begin (or resume!) living your best life.

You wake up with a feeling of dread and urgency, or suffer through sleepless nights. Time is ticking away. You feel an urge to do, a lack of clarity about what. You've talked to friends, looked up cures on the internet, but nothing works. These things happen in life, and often they have nothing to do with having a disorder. You are probably exactly where you need to be to move on to the next part of your life. Perhaps therapy can give you space to discover how.

I am most well suited to help people working through life transitions, difficult relationships, trauma and loss. I also find that I work particularly well with people interested in visual imagery and other nonverbal experience. While verbal expression is essential, we all also carry internal images, physiological and emotional expressions that can stretch well beyond language. I find that creative efforts to make use of these nonverbal elements can often expand therapeutic potentials in very useful and generative ways. What kinds of images come to mind when you think about your life experience? What kinds of sounds and smells?

My psychoanalytic training and my 20 years work experience has taught me the importance of understanding the full individual and his/her own unique experience in the world. In therapy, I provide a supportive environment that focuses on symptom-reduction while also exploring underlying roots of emotional discomfort. I encourage self-exploration, emotional processing and self-acceptance. I believe in helping clients understand how their past experiences impacts their lives, and in utilizing the therapeutic relationship to foster clients' growth and self-fulfillment. I find psychotherapy to be powerful and exciting and I consider it a privilege to help people strive for their potential.
