I work with adults, couples, adolescents and families, on a broad range of topics including relationship difficulties, stress management, depression, anxiety, childhood challenges, school related issues,anger management, marital and pre-martial issues, co-parenting, divorce, domestic violence, and bereavement.
Sometimes we become overwhelmed with life's many challenges and can't seem to get things right. Stress can overtake our lives and leave us feeling bog down, thus feeling stagnant or repeating the same negative patterns. Together I can help you achieve a personal sense of well being through counseling. My therapeutic approach is an interactive goal oriented approach using cognitive behavior therapy. Our thoughts, emotions and behaviors essentially create our lives! They can create within us tremendous sadness or overwhelming joy.

Everyone experiences uncomfortable emotions at different times in their life. However, when the emotional pain lingers and begins to affect one's relationships and/or their capacity to work, it is time to call an experienced, well-trained mental health professional. Are you often worried or depressed, did you recently experience a significant loss, do you often feel angry and disappointed with family, friends or co-workers? These are just a few of the psychological problems psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and group treatment can address. Together we can begin to understand what is causing the emotional pain.

After working extensively in the field of HIV and AIDS and then as a Program Director for the FDNY, providing counseling and therapeutic services to firefighters post-9/11, I have developed a speciality in grief and trauma.

I provide a comfortable, down-to-earth environment that will allow you to develop insight, find more choices in your life, and to build self confidence. I have advanced training in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, however unlike classical analysis I do not act as a blank screen and have a contemporary approach.

Self-care is essential to mental health as well as maintaining the ability to take care of those who are close to you.

Other areas include depression, anxiety, trauma, transitions, grief, and relationship difficulties.
Everyday I am humbled by working with those who have the courage to look in the mirror and work on themselves. I view psychotherapy as an opportunity for growth no matter where you are in your life; whether seeking support in a time of crisis, suffering from a mental illness, working on relationships, or you are simply curious about who you are and how your mind works. My treatment approach is rooted in psychodynamic and relational frameworks although I tailor my technique to each client. I value change beyond symptom resolution but also to increase self awareness and individual growth.

This 6-week group is specifically for women who lost their mother prior to age 30. When a woman loses her mother at a young age, it is like losing a life compass. Women typically have complicated relationships with their mothers, yet depend on them for guidance and support for many years. It's an unusual phenomenon since most women live well into mid-life years with their moms. This group will offer support and guidance to those who manage their way through life without a mother's presence. Fee: $60 per group- sliding scale available.
