I have been a psychotherapist for more than 30 years. During my years of practice, my therapeutic approach has evolved into a collaborative and flexible interaction. I make use of psychodynamic as well as contemporary techniques. I do Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) groups. My treatment goals are to increase self-awareness, insight, and a sense of wellbeing, and to empower the individual with useful, comfortable strategies to achieve change. I am now located in midtown and Harlem. I now provide Teletherapy through FaceTime, Zoom, Skype, etc.
I offer psychotherapy to individuals, small EFT groups in a safe emotional environment where growth and significant life change can be achieved.
I facilitate motivational and personal-growth groups and workshops (EFT). I offer personal coaching, corporate crisis counseling, ongoing clinical supervision, and case consultation. Email is not always a reliable or timely way to communicate. You may contact me at phone #s above. I am now located in Midtown and Harlem. I now do Teletherapy.
