Based on my experience in Miami and New York, I work primarily in a psychodynamic way with adults experiencing depression and anxiety; gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues; substance abuse; grief issues; relationship concerns; and unresolved childhood wounds.
I am a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist specializing in talk therapy. My clients often come to me feeling angry, depressed and disappointed with their relationships, careers and their lives and are at a loss as to how to live a fulfilling life. Working together with clients within a supportive relationship, I help them articulate their feelings more authentically and uncover unconscious conflicts that get in the way of living life with vitality. I have found that when people truly engage in the process of therapy, they can experience healing, acceptance of themselves, stress reduction, personal growth, and increased fulfillment.

With more focus on diversity and the struggle of young people with gender dysphoria and gender identity issues there is a real need to treat this often underserved population.
'Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin. At times in our lives most of use have experienced some feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, anxiety, fear - whether we are single or in a relationship. We may be experiencing grief. Often, romantic relationships open old wounds. And even more often, your 'inner voice' may be critical and a replica of what you experienced growing up. I help you soften self criticism by practicing Compassion-Focused Therapy, and I tailor other modalities as we work together. You will be safe, and you will be heard.

Unresolved trauma can be devastating. Are you feeling numb, shut down or agitated and on high alert? Many of us have experienced a traumatic event - what makes the difference in how you recover is the kind of support you have in your life. Experiencing trauma, abuse or neglect often leaves us with fewer internal resources to deal with the impact. This can lead to unhealthy ways of dealing with the pain such as addictions, depression, destructive relationships, isolation. Using modern therapy modalities (IFS), I can help you process your pain and find joy again. Please reach out, let me help guide you to healing.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
