When I first meet with clients, my goal is to help them find the main road back to their original journey, from the exit that led them to the off ramp - I offer a steady hand for them to successfully maneuver in the foggy season of their lives. I provide a supportive environment suitable for helping clients form new insights in achieving alternate healthier perspectives than the ineffective solutions currently in use. I provide an atmosphere of professionalism, empathy, and privacy suitable for positive growth and achievable solutions.

For some individuals, therapy can be a frightening step to take on the journey of self-improvement. For others, it can be the piece needed to help turn one's life in a more positive direction. If you are looking to begin on this journey, I believe I can be of help.

Deciding to move on or tough it out. Believing it's your fault. Learning it was all a lie. Finding out the thing you fear most is exactly what's happening. Being invisible. Loving someone so completely then losing them. Not knowing why. Knowing it's over but still pretending. Feeling powerless. Letting go of who you thought you would be. Accepting who you are. Showing up. Being accountable for your actions. Not feeling safe. Realizing you lost it and can't get it back. Losing control. Lying awake in the middle of the night. Having regret. Feeling unwanted... These are just some of the hard things. Asking for help doesn't have to be.

When we saw mental health being unaffordable and incomplete, we took on this endeavor of launching our unique model of mental health wellness throughout many cities and states. Before we started, we saw a great demand for receiving affordable, comprehensive, and enjoyable mental healthcare. So, we started our company to provide counseling that is affordable on the base prices, but also extremely affordable through our unmatched sliding scale models. We also didn't sacrifice the quality of care delivered, but even increased it. We now offer in-person and virtual visits in CT, FL, NJ, NV, and PA.

With over 30 years clinical experience and training at Harvard, Princeton and University of Chicago, I treat individuals and families, ranging in age from pre-teens to adults.

I work with a variety of populations, cultures and & issues. Since I have been in practice for many years and have training and expertise in many modalities of treatment, I adapt the treatment to fit the individual needs of each client with special emphasis on respecting his or her uniqueness as I help them heal and grow to reach their full potential.

People who come to me are often in crisis. They need someone who can listen deeper than words to bring greater understanding, clarity, and perspective. Fear or depression block pathways toward effective change. I bring years of training and practice, personal sensitivity and deep intuition. My goal is to help you release your own potential, unblock energy, so that you have greater awareness and can actualize that new awareness. I've been trained in five different psychoanalytic approaches, depending in part on your situation and location. I offer psychoanalysis in NYS. Call 203-894-9489 for initial phone consultation.

Life often times brings us through situations that become complex based on the unique way we view the world. This complexity of thought emotions and preconceived notions form the manner in which we cope with or deal with life. This is especially true when dealing with addiction, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, divorce; and those times our lives when things just don't seem right. Together we will create an awareness of you. Through this awareness the areas needing change will surface, it is then that the skills needed to implement the change you have chosen are developed.
