Depression and anxiety can impede our careers, relationships, self confidence, success and happiness. If you feel unmotivated, disappointed in self or others, envious, or unsure of yourself, there may be powerful root causes lying just outside your awareness. Often I can help, even if other attempts have failed. How do you choose a therapist? Training and experience matter. I trained at Stanford and Columbia, finished 2 postdoctoral fellowships, completed full psychoanalytic training, and have practiced for 25+ years. While therapy is never a quick fix, it can lead to greater success and happiness. Offering teletherapy nationwide.
I focus on root causes that underlie thoughts, feelings, and actions in order to create lasting change and prevent symptoms’ recurrence. My experience as an attorney informs my work with those in highly demanding executive and professional environments, including the impact of those environments on one's personality, personal life, and relationships.
PhD-Columbia University, NY; Post-doc Certificate in Psychoanalysis MPI; Fellowships at NY Psychoanalytic & Columbia Psychoanalytic. Former Faculty @ Columbia Univ., Clinical Psychology Dept. & Columbia Univ. Medical School (student health Psychiatry service), NY.. Being in solo private practice, I can assure you the utmost in confidentiality.

I am not in-network w/insurance plans bc their restrictions prevent us from deciding together what is best for your treatment. In addition, while it is always your option to seek insurance reimbursement, doing so requires me to diagnose you with a mental disorder, which may not be necessary.
