Psychotherapy lets people be their most 'authentic' selves and live at their highest potential; it also helps them understand barriers to optimal living. Expecting that you have all the answers is not realistic, and entering therapy is a helpful step to deepening understanding, resolving problematic relational patterns and simply making changes. Also,Therapy need not be a 'lifelong process'. I have a proven track record working with people achieving results. My treatment approach combines a Relational psychodynamic frame with goal-focused techniques. I tend to work very interactively with clients relationally, while also allowing abundant space for clients their own insights and self-reflection.

Welcome. I seek to provide individuals and couples with an engaging and collaborative process. Aspiring to be curious and supportive as you identify & explore uncomfortable feelings, discordant self-beliefs, or painful relational dynamics that are keeping you from having more meaningful, enlivened, and loving connections to yourself and others. Navigating together, we will address areas, that may include love, family dynamics, internal conflict, issues of health, work, friendship, school, trauma, addiction, & loss. With couples' areas of exploration sex/intimacy, premarital counselling, financial issues, betrayal & fertility.

I'm a strong advocate for emotional well-being. Experiencing emotions is as natural as feeling hunger, and facing emotional challenges, as common as experiencing appetite. Engaging in therapy to process emotions is essential, much like regular doctor visits, whether for a check-up, addressing initial symptoms, or seeking help when issues have already affected life functioning. My approach focuses on helping clients overcome doubts, difficulties, and challenges to promote a calm, stable, and fulfilling life, staying away from categorizing, labeling, or pathologizing.

As a clinical therapist, my purpose is to center clients in the awareness that they MATTER in the world. For over 25 years I have run a private practice in New York City, working with individuals, couples and groups. My office provides a safe environment for clients to speak openly; to identify and resolve personal challenges and conflicts in order to rediscover and reach their fullest potential - leading to a joyous, healthier life. My practice is grounded in the principles of interpersonal/relational therapy, somatic experience (SE), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Goal Oriented Therapy, Spirituality, and EMDR.

As a clinical psychologist with a background in athletics and fitness, I meet patients where they are, develop a strong working relationship, and identify strengths we can build off of all while maintaining cultural humility and awareness. Over the past nine years, I have found that this approach facilitates the reduction of emotional distress and improves self-esteem, decision making, and overall life satisfaction. My holistic approach can foster a more integrated, healthy, and powerful sense of self that is better equipped to handle life’s stresses during and after therapy.

I am a very experienced trauma therapist, specializing in treating young adults suffering from PTSD, abuse in narcissistic relationships, codependency, break ups, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ issues, divorce, and work place problems, using cognitive behavioral work, EMDR and IFS. My approach is eclectic and interactive, blending a combination of techniques. Non-judgment and warmth in a holistic frame describes my style. I also am trained in ADHD coaching, NLP, hypnosis, and other modalities designed for you to develop better coping skills. This is not a cookie cutter approach. It is a treatment custom made to meet your needs.

Are you experiencing frustration and disagreement in your relationship? Feeling defensive, shut down, or overwhelmed? Feeling like you are beating your head against the wall hoping for a different outcome? Do you feel stuck and crave more in your relationship? Do you feel lonely, taken for granted, and unappreciated? Do you carry the burden of the responsibilities in your home? Do you struggle to change your partner’s mind about divorce, rebuild trust, forgive and be forgiven, or save a marriage after an affair? Do you want to rekindle your love and passion, and most importantly understand how much you love your lives together?

I believe that it is a brave step to reach out for help and take action to change ones life. As a result, the selection of a therapist who is the best fit for you and your personality is an important choice. Over the years I have collaborated with patients to help them gain mastery over issues ranging from anxiety to addiction and many other issues as well. Younger and older patients of both genders and all sexual orientations have spent time in my office diligently working towards their goals.
