I work with people who are generally high functioning, yet feeling sub-optimal in one or more life areas. In recent years, a major challenge for people is managing the stress of a busy life in NYC. Balancing career, health, family, relationships, recreation, technology, and self-care can be daunting. I listen closely and ask clarifying questions to help each person figure out what she or he needs to thrive, and what to let go of. The goal is to cultivate self awareness and practical tools for navigating life in a way that increases satisfaction and well-being.
"Monster-in-Law." "The Witch." "Mrs. Evil." Uh-oh. You married your husband/wife but like it or not, his/her mother is part of the deal, yet the relationship with your mother-in-law can be a rocky one. You can't pretend she doesn't exist or you risk upsetting your spouse--and your marriage. This time-limited support group will offer coping strategies and emotional backup, and will help you feel that you're not alone.

Why do people seek therapy? Usually it's because they're feeling dissatisfied, anxious, or depressed--and it's becoming difficult to cope. Do you feel stuck in a relationship or work situation? Struggling with life transitions: marriage, divorce, pregnancy/infertility, parenting, career change, becoming an in-law, serious illness, aging parents? If you'd like to change your life, I can help you understand what's getting in the way. Working together in a safe, nonjudgmental space, we can help you find the solutions you're seeking.
The prolonged grief that comes from watching a loved one battle chronic illness is a unique struggle and often exists without many spaces to talk about it. This group is meant to hold that space and provide a non-judgmental environment where members can feel supported through their grief and in community with similarly situated people.

Whether you are new to therapy or continuing therapy and looking for a new counselor, I understand that transitions are difficult and being vulnerable can take a tremendous amount of courage. I hope to offer you the space where you can feel safe and supported during this transition. I believe that everyone has the opportunity for growth and that we all have the potential to live meaningful, happy lives if we let ourselves. Together, we can explore the challenges that you are facing, and I will provide you with the emotional support and encouragement that is sometimes needed to create positive change.
Do you feel like you had a good childhood but something is missing? That love or affection from your parent needs to be earned? That your parent lives vicariously through you but doesn't see you as your own person? This group is a safe space for clients who have done some individual work around their relationship with their parent(s) and are managing feelings of inadequacy, disappointment, anger, sadness, and are interested in working on codependency and boundaries. *This is an 8-week virtual group next offered summer 2024.*

On-line bereavement support group for those impacted by loss due to Covid 19. This group is for adults who face the death of a loved one, or have a loved one in hospital or care facility.

Have you been impacted by loss due to Covid 19? Is isolation and social distancing causing you loneliness, anxiety or conflict in your family? Grief and mourning are being experienced as never before. Our traditional ways of coping - through the participation in rituals and communal gatherings, the hugs of loved ones and being with family - have been upended. The reality of not being able to be with loved ones, especially those who are ill or dying is traumatic. We are also having to negotiate with our family in new ways. I can help you find a path through these challenges.
As individuals begin interacting freely with other group members, they usually re-experience or recreate some of the interpersonal difficulties that brought them to the group in the first place. Many of the reasons people seek help with personal issues usually stem from difficulties in their relationships with others. Under the skilled direction of a group therapist, the group is able to point out troublesome interpersonal patterns by providing feedback and support and offering alternatives, and in such a way that the difficulty becomes resolved.

Close your eyes and imagine what life would be like without the anxiety, sadness, self-criticism, and low self-esteem weighing you down.

In this online group, participants recovering from OCD set behavioral goals and hold one another accountable in a supportive and caring environment. Each session will also have a question or topic related to OCD to get the conversation flowing and to explore new areas within a group of like-minded peers, all of whom have experience with OCD. This group is recommended for people who are in, or have been in, individual therapy for OCD and are generally familiar with the concepts of exposure and response prevention (ERP).

I believe in the capacity of us all to define our life's path by taking risks and stretching in new directions. This can be one of the hardest parts of OCD and anxiety: feeling like your choices are dictated by the lump in your throat, the pit in your stomach or obsessive thoughts. Before I became a therapist, I was a lawyer for almost 20 years. That experience informs my work with clients as we strengthen their inner advocate and, often, develop a truer understanding of who they are and want to be when they are actively choosing how to live. YOU are not that critical, anxious voice in your head; let's clarify and pursue YOUR path.

I see talk therapy as a vital tool to help us build the lives we want and the world we desire. It’s my pleasure to work with adults and teens seeking a greater sense of purpose, freedom, and joy in daily life, and those looking for a sense of intimacy and trust to anchor their explorations. With patience and warm interest, I invite you to bring your curiosity to bear on whatever lives inside you: anxiety, loneliness, envy, anger, grief, and other inconvenient feelings. When we unearth the parts of ourselves we’ve kept hidden, we can reckon with their powerful undertow and harness their energy to transform our lives for the better.

I work primarily with young adults and adults who are looking for effective, sustainable solutions to deal with life's daily challenges. I enjoy helping my clients remove obstacles that are keeping them stuck so they can reach their goals and more. I believe that the therapeutic bond is of primary importance especially when it feels difficult or scary or even exciting and new. I have a strong presence and my clients know I am with them through the entire process. I integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), whenever it is appropriate, to help the process move along.
