"I have commanded foreign words to explicate the native in me, all the while obfuscating what was, but was not, could not be, spoken. And what of words? I have spoken in multitudes and platitudes. I have harbored thoughts and feelings with no hope of setting them off to sail in these words. All words but my own. There are, and always will be, two ways to tell my stories. I shall strive to choose dis-cordingly. There once was word where my innards stood. First there was word. After word there was silence. ..."

If you're reading this, I want to congratulate you on taking the first step towards improving your mental health. Knowing you are in a place where you need to ask for help can be a scary feeling, and I want to commend you for starting this journey towards bettering yourself. Life can bring many unexpected challenges. I believe with the correct tools and mindset, it is possible for a person to overcome anything that comes in their path, no matter how difficult the obstacle may seem.

People often come to psychotherapy after long-term frustrations, when they feel overwhelmed by a lack of possibility, in times of emotional pain, and when in a crisis. These feelings are addressed through a psychotherapeutic process in which people articulate aspects of experience they would not otherwise have a chance to explore. Through this process they not only make sense of symptoms and other forms of relational suffering, but foster increased freedom, creativity, and purpose.

I am most helpful to those that want to learn practical skills to help reduce mental health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and stress, or who find themselves "stuck" and wanting to find more meaning in their lives. While having a safe space to discuss day to day problems and vent is extremely important, many people need a bit more guidance in learning new ways to relate to their thoughts and feelings in order to reach their goals. I aim to provide this guidance in a flexible and collaborative manner, monitoring progress and incorporating feedback throughout treatment.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience in providing short to medium-term treatment that is specific and goal oriented. Early in our work together we will strive to identify specific things you want to change in your life, so we can evaluate along the way whether our strategies are working or need to be tweaked. I also believe it is important to remain flexible and allow space in therapy for exploration, as we might not be fully aware of how certain things affect our lives at the beginning of therapy.

Given the complexities and demands of society today, it is inevitable that at some point in all of our lives, we will experience an emotional or challenging event.

I am currently seeing clients virtually in New York, Florida and California. Don't Stay Stuck in the Yuck!

As a therapist I value self-inquiry, relationships, and finding meaning. My primary goal is to create an environment where clients feel accepted and heard, while simultaneously challenged to find new perspectives. At the core of my practice is a nonjudgemental attitude and a desire to bring awareness into my client's lives. We will work together with the goal of exploring different aspects of your self in order to uncover why you may be feeling stuck or unsatisfied.

I strive to understand each individual's issues and needs through the different phases of the therapeutic relationship. I find patterns of thinking which surface from recurrent automatic thoughts. I thus obtain a comprehensive understanding of the person in his/her functioning. Through a pro-active, attuned, caring, neutral, compassionate and non-judgmental stance, an empowering process is developed, leading to an enhancement of self-esteem. I have come to see how people can better understand themselves and their relationships, and am able to to help them make improved choices for themselves, and to live more meaningful lives.

My focus is on healing the root cause of mental health struggles, prioritizing resolution over coping strategies and compensatory mechanisms. As a first step, I usually help my clients feel safe, understand how their life experiences affected them, and where their mental health struggles are coming from. In the following process, we may focus on fostering a secure connection (attachment) with oneself, discovering parts of the client's psyche that may be holding anxiety, pain, anger, or sadness, or other difficult emotions and guiding those parts towards intentional healing.

People often seek therapy at a point where life feels too stressful or off-kilter. This point might emerge gradually or occur in the face of acute problems, stressors or losses that feel overwhelming. Effective therapy requires commitment and engagement on both the part of the therapist and patient and often involves exploring parts of oneself and one’s life that feel elusive or painful. The pursuit of change and growth can take time, however there is a remarkable payoff to effective treatment, which can include greater freedom and satisfaction in the areas of love and intimacy, family and relationships, creativity and work.
