As in any meaningful relationship, the right fit for therapy is essential.
I am a bilingual clinician, with training both in France and the US. I first practiced in Paris as a clinical psychologist, and I now work as a clinical social worker in New York. I work with children, adolescents and adults who suffer from day to day struggles or severe difficulties. I provide a safe space where patients can explore and work through their emotional and social problems, or in the case of children where they can play them out. Although therapy may be difficult at first, I know from experience that it is well worth the effort.

Developing a collaborative relationship holds the most promise for a rewarding therapy.
I help people who are struggling with having more for themselves: worried singles & overwhelmed mothers, hurting and angry couples, the overworked professional or under appreciated employee. Stagnation, even advancement in both career and relationship, can produce anxiety or discomfort for anyone. Long-standing struggles often result from a history of reacting to stress in ways that limit one's ability to attain the "more" that's missing. I also offer clinical consultation to psychotherapists and assist those exploring socio-cultural dynamics within group, class, and work settings.

The key to a satisfying and productive therapy is the ability of the therapist to “get” the patient and their world, and to use the interactive relationship to resolve the blockages and dysfunctional behavior patterns that engender feelings of anxiety and depression.
I am a psychodynamically trained therapist with 30 years of experience treating a wide variety of individuals and couples. I don't treat diagnoses or disorders. I work with people who are dissatisfied and unhappy with some aspects of their lives, and who have come to recognize that their difficulties may have their origin within their own perceptions or unproductive patterns of behavior. A patient recently described our work together saying, “You listen to me until I know what I think.”

I am especially interested in relationship issues, be they intimate relationships, friendships, or something more undefined.
I specialize in individual, couples, and group psychotherapy with adolescents, adults, and older adults. I operate from a psychodynamic (relational) framework, although I have the training and experience to adapt my style to best suit each client's individual needs. I encourage curiosity in the therapy room with an emphasis on reserving judgment; I believe that through increased awareness of ourselves, as opposed to labeling our thoughts, feelings, and actions as good or bad, the more we can grow. I strive to create a safe, intimate environment that balances nurturing and support with challenging one's preconceived notions and beliefs.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
