I work with adults and children in individual, couples and group therapy.
It is my belief that seeking help is a courageous step that should be commended. Therapy offers us an opportunity to get to know ourselves, and provides a safe and comfortable space to think about the ways we can make our lives better. In this space, we come to understand the deeper meanings of the problems we face, gain the emotional tools to solve these problems, and become more confident in the decisions we make. Therapy can help to slow life down, and helps us find a place in it that fits who we are.

As a child and family therapist, I specialize in child therapy helping children to cope with depression, anger, anxiety, school, social and behavioral problems, a divorce, a death, and other family issues. I am a parenting expert and help parents to understand their child's behavior and difficulties and teach them skills for communicating positively with their child. I provide couple and family counseling focused on strengthening family relationships and joint problem solving. Using a psychodynamic approach, I help adults to understand their own early childhood experiences, so they can overcome emotional roadblocks and communicate positively with other family members.

Grounded in a clear understanding of developmental issues, I work closely with parents. Most of my clients come seeking treatment for mood, anxiety and relationship difficulties.

I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, children and families, and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. I think for therapy to really gel, you need to feel that your therapist gets you, perhaps in a way few others have. Adults I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. My work with children began in my earliest days as a therapist - and it continues to be a central part of my practice.

I worked for many years in child and adolescent mental health clinics and then in a school for behaviorally challenged children.
Have you felt like you are missing your partner, or have lost the ability to talk to each other? Do you long to feel more connected? If you cannot understand why so many of your interactions with your partner or children end up in arguments then I might be able to help. I work with families who are experiencing this kind of distance and escalations. My clients state that after our work together: they communicate better, feel more connected and 'in sync" with each other and are better able to meet each other's needs. I have heard comments such as, "I feel like I am falling in love again" and "thank you, I got my child back".

My office is conveniently located with every resource imaginable which might be desired by children or adults.
As a retired school counselor with extensive background in dealing with substance abuse issues, I am best positioned to assist clients with difficulties related to social, academic or behavioral issues. I am particularly attuned to the ways in which parenting styles impact upon the functioning of children and to the most efficient ways of creating change to promote the likeliness of a person's or family's success and happiness. At times, these are most effectively addressed through an examination and fostering of an individual's goal-setting and motivation and how these may encumber his or her movement on the path to future satisfaction.

I understand that it isn't easy to reach out for help for yourself or your child, but I'm here to make sure therapy is helpful for both of you.
I'm an LCSW practicing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and my office is conveniently located three blocks from the Bedford L stop. I'm psychodynamically oriented, and I specialize in anxiety, play therapy, trauma, and attachment. I enjoy helping families to strengthen relationships. Play is a child's natural way of communicating, and thus is the perfect tool for therapy with young children. I often work with older children, teens, and adults as well, and tailor my therapeutic approach to the needs of each person I work with.
