Creating a client who is the best version of themselves they can be. A created client engineered by his own diligence to find happiness, to find stability, and become a Captain who can navigate through all waters. I will do my best to help you find your best. Your life is yours! Be The Best At It!

If you feel stuck in the same unproductive problems and feelings around work, relationships, or any other issue that's important to you, I may be able to help you get to a better place. Many of my patients have considerable insight into their situation, but most find it difficult to change unproductive patterns, or "will" themselves into feeling better. You can break out of the circles of behavior that leave you feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. As a therapist, it is my job to help you gain awareness of unconscious roadblocks and help you tap into your natural ability to heal.

Welcome. Given the circumstance of being a human in the world we currently live in, it makes sense that one would be anxious and depressed. Even so, I believe that there still exists pathways for one to live a rich, textured life, filled with the capacity for love, creativity, and meaningful work. Often our solutions for living just lead to more suffering. Whether it’s by drinking too much or by rigid prohibitions, by compulsive eating or punitive restrictions on food—phobias, addictions, preoccupations, inhibitions, apathy, indecision, isolation, self-criticism—there are myriad ways to suffer.

You have taken a courageous step in seeking therapy. It is not always easy to talk about how you feel, what you've been through or what you want. Some experiences are beyond words. I see my clients as individuals who have the brilliant capacity to heal and connect with their innate self-worth. I create a warm and comforting space where you will feel seen and heard. My approach is interactive and incorporates an intersectional trauma lens. Together we will look at how your experiences, identities and relationships have impacted where you are now, and incorporate body awareness and strategies to heal.

I am a psychologist with a diverse practice. I work with individuals, couples, adolescents and families, and conduct a variety of psychotherapy groups. My style is informal, supportive and interactive. I have extensive experience working with issues related to addictive and compulsive behavior problems, relationship issues, identity issues, and many other areas of clinical concern. My first aim is to establish a mutually comfortable rapport to provide an atmosphere of openness and to make self exploration an experience that is satisfying and immediately helpful in both the short and long term.

As a trained psychotherapist with over 25 years of clinical, supervisory and teaching experience, I have learned that we all suffer from common problems in living -- in love and in work. But the solutions that will work for each of us are as unique as we are. I have had extensive training in a variety of different approaches. We will find what works best for you!

I am a Mental Health Counselor, who has a Masters Degree in Applied Behavioral Psychology and Advanced Certification in Mental Health Counseling. I offer my clients psychotherapy with an integrative approach, utilizing different theoretical frameworks to individualize a therapeutic plan for every person, group, and couple I work with. I primarily focus on CBT, Person-Centered, DBT, Relational, Psychodynamic, mindfulness, and meditation, but offer other techniques listed below. ​ My own philosophy is based on a holistic approach, so I do not always focus on diagnoses or pathology. However, I do recognize that sometimes it is needed.

I believe that change and healing come through relationships; our relationship with self as well as our relationships with others. It is because of this belief that I approach my work as a collaborative venture that requires large amounts of both compassion and curiosity. It is my goal to create an atmosphere where these qualities can be nurtured and to provide the individual with the support and space to reflect on old patterns of behavior and the opportunity to respond in new ways that allow for a more fully realized and authentic way of living.

I provide empathy, insight, and a seasoned approach in treating addiction, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and personality challenges. I assist individuals seeking freedom from out-of-control behaviors including substance abuse, sexual compulsivity, and other habituated difficulties. I'm credentialed to treat partners and couples affected by sexual betrayal as well as those experiencing negative relationship dynamics in general. My scope of practice also includes treating LGBTQ issues. Being a guide through adversity and loss, be it sudden or cumulative, is a primary objective in my collaborative approach with all my clients.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with an extensive background in research, clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, my clinical approach is informed by empirically validated treatments and techniques, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Like using psychotherapy outcome research to inform my clinical work, I employ a methodological approach to disentangling the various biological, social, and environmental factors that may be contributing to your current and past difficulties. My approach is intensely collaborative and transparent in nature.

Earning graduate degrees from Columbia and Yale Universities, I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in both the states of New York and Massachusetts, who is trained in psychoanalytic,dialectical behavioral (DBT) and humanistic treatment modalities. With offices in the West Village of Manhattan, I work with adults, children and adolescents with a variety of difficulties, including problems related to anxiety; mood, such as depression and poor self-esteem; interpersonal conflicts; career transitions; issues of professional identity; feelings of ineffectiveness and failures of performance in work and school; marital conflicts; and, difficulties with intimacy in romantic relationships.

People seek therapy out for many reasons, in essence, people just want to feel better. We want to feel less stressed, less depressed, less anxious, less angry. We want to feel more happy, more passionate, more sexual, more satisfied with our life, relationships, and careers. How does this magical shift happen? Actually, no magic required, just the courage to take the first step in knowing you want to experience your life differently than how you are experiencing it today. Through purposeful dialogue and a supportive and empathic environment this shift in living and perspective is not only possible but probable.

My approach to therapy is to create a safe, supportive environment for my clients. We will work together to help improve your emotional well being through analytic work and building healthy coping techniques. We will collaboratively build a unique treatment plans specific to your needs.

No matter how fortunate you may be, still human life is difficult. Despite your best efforts, at times life's stresses can be too much: you may be overwhelmed. Hurt, fear, guilt, anger, shame, grief: feeling bad can alert you to where the trouble lies, or add to your emotional burdens. Confusion, isolation, loneliness, restlessness, worry, despair, or addictive attempts to find relief - all of these painful states are attempts to ward off problems or fix what's wrong, but they can also make things worse.

I have been a therapist in practice at this location since 1998. I have post Masters training in psychoanalysis. In addition, I am a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), have run an outpatient mental health facility and have a long history of clinical supervisory practice. I believe that one can resolve most of his/her distress by talking to a non-judgemental listener who can use the appropriate intervention to move a client forward.

Sometimes people seek therapy because of painful situations, or they're unclear about which path to take. Sometimes they're trying to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood. And sometimes they have a more biological problem - ADD, depression, mood swings - and want to lead a rich and satisfying life despite these problems. I will help you to figure out the source of your problems, and find solutions. For twenty-four years I've worked with a wide range of patients with a variety of issues. I've taught Psychology at Smith College, and graduate students and candidates at the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center.
