Together, we can examine issues that are troubling you. Relationship difficulties and matters that make you feel depressed or anxious can be addressed in psychotherapy. I am especially interested in helping you understand and resolve troublesome behavior patterns, stresses about racial and ethnic identity, and sexuality. Navigating life's challenges - whether it's a relationship disappointment, illnesses, loss or injustices - are often too painful to address alone. Together, we will work to restore your hope, self-confidence and develop a winning spirit to use when encountering future obstacles.

People come to my practice for many reasons, but what we all seem to have in common is a goal to feel more alive and at peace with ourselves and others, and truly connect in our relationships and with what we choose to do in the world. As an IFS therapist I work with people in a profoundly nonjudgmental way, where every past behavior, emotion, and thought can be intimately and compassionately understood. Change and growth then comes from a place of open-minded self knowledge and love... I have personally experienced transformation through this work and have witnessed its power to promote long lasting change in countless clients.

You're in the right place if you've experienced trauma earlier in your life AND you're now going through a big change. After trying regular talk therapy and doing it yourself, you still feel stuck in the same old patterns. Your body has reactions that you can't seem to control. You can't stop thinking about the past. Regular talk therapy and/or doing it on your own (DIY) may have made you feel more hopeless, helpless, stuck and lonely. It’s not your fault, though. The traditional methods are not designed to help you fully heal.

Good therapy can produce long lasting life changes. Although shifts in behavior and emotions can take time, even in the short term there can be immediate relief. I see the relationship between the patient and therapist as central to a positive outcome. Although we are all infinitely diverse and complex, collectively we seek to be understood. I listen with curiosity and empathy to understand each individual's unique experience. In treatment I create an atmosphere of trust where together we can identify your strengths, find practical solutions to problems and unfold underlying vulnerabilities that are obstacles to your experience of a rich and fulfilling life.

Life often feels harder than it needs to. We have so many balls in the air, and constant juggling often leads to anxiety, self-doubt, and anger. It can be hard to be a good parent and spouse, to meet the expectations of friends colleagues and family, all while trying to meet our own needs. No wonder we find ourselves lost, unfulfilled and disconnected. If it seems like you don't know which way to turn, you've come to the right place.

As an integrative psychotherapist with many years of experience, I help people gain a deeper understanding of their internal struggles & create meaningful changes. I work on a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, dating & relationship difficulties, codependency, and self-esteem issues. I also work with couples and families to change hurtful & destructive patterns in the relationship and create a stronger, more meaningful connection. Some of the therapeutic approaches I practice are Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, CBT, Psychodynamic, and Mindfulness practices.
I offer group therapy as an adjunctive component to individual treatment in my practice as it provides an opportunity to propel individual therapy work. Sitting with and relating to others who share similar concerns can enhance the examination of one's specific struggles within an interpersonal context, going beyond the one-on-one experience with a therapist. Communication, trust, and intimacy are explored in a confidential arena that allows members an opportunity to receive additional support and help with developing more satisfying relationships.

I help people who are struggling with having more for themselves: worried singles & overwhelmed mothers, hurting and angry couples, the overworked professional or under appreciated employee. Stagnation, even advancement in both career and relationship, can produce anxiety or discomfort for anyone. Long-standing struggles often result from a history of reacting to stress in ways that limit one's ability to attain the "more" that's missing. I also offer clinical consultation to psychotherapists and assist those exploring socio-cultural dynamics within group, class, and work settings.

My interests in working in psychiatry started very early. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at a young age. Living with a chronic condition has taught me about the intimate connection between mind and body and the power of one to influence the other. I am a board certified Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist. In every stage of my training, I sought to deepen my understanding of this connection, and develop skills to help patients maintain a balance between the two. I specialize in treating children with chronic medical conditions; particularly type 1 diabetes, but also many other conditions.

I offer group therapy (please see below for my groups), ADHD couples consultation, and ADHD evaluations. I use a skills-based approach because teaching someone how to eventually be their own therapist can help someone develop the confidence to manage whatever life throws at them - as they say, if you catch someone a fish, they eat for a day; teach them to fish, they eat for a lifetime! I also practice with a values framework so I will be eager to learn about what your values are and what is important to you in your life. I can see people in: NY, NJ, FL, CT, VT, IL - more to come.
DBT groups are not your traditional talk therapy. They are skills based - think of it more as a class. There are four different categories of skills that you will learn - mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills. This group will provide you with a toolkit of life skills to help you replace any ineffective behaviors, thoughts patterns or habits.

I have three areas of expertise - substance use, eating disorders and gender affirming care. Substance use includes anything from being curious about your relationship to substances to wanting to stop using completely. Eating issues can range from poor body image to binging/purging/restricting on a daily basis. In regards to gender affirming care - as a trans guy, I have a special place in my heart for clients who are exploring their gender/sexuality. Whether you are just starting to question or worried about coming out or need letters to obtain appropriate medical care - a safe place to process can be very helpful.
Group for parents of neurodiverse children - with or without a diagnosis. Some example issues are ADHD, sensory, learning disabilities... The purpose is to come together to give each other support, vent, brainstorm, and share resources in a safe accepting place. The day to day parenting of a SN child comes with both joy and challenges. Sometimes it feels like only those who have been through it can really understand. It is also sometimes too painful to share emotions of frustration or guilt with others. By getting together we get to listen, support, connect, and empower our selves for another week!

Accepting new clients in-person/online. I believe that therapy is not a "one size fits all” process. Every person is a complex individual, and every relationship is unique. I offer therapy with a non-judgmental, anti-racist, strength-based, affirming approach, and adapt treatment to my clients’ values and make up, including gender, ethnicity, and sexuality. As an active partner I will always be on your side, but I will also challenge you when necessary. My experience is extensive, diverse, and contemporary, and my past in Creative and Producing for Film and Advertising brings a unique perspective to my practice.
