Most of our psychological pain and misery, our inhibitions and limitations in achieving a satisfying life, are the result of primitive anxieties that we carry within ourselves since the very time we were, indeed, really helpless. The psychoanalytic encounter allows one to become wiser and assume more responsibility towards oneself and toward others one lives with, cares for or simply meets in everyday life. It is a method that concentrates on the "Here and Now" and tries to free the mind from old -- and, usually, no longer all that helpful -- ways that we use to defend ourselves from pain.

People seek psychotherapy for different reasons. Sometimes they want to solve a specific problem produced by difficult circumstances; sometimes they want relief from feelings of general unhappiness and anxiety; other times they want to make a change, to feel less stuck, less depressed and more hopeful. Asking for help is the first important step. It gives substance to our desire for change and makes concrete our wish to feel better. This very act of asking says that we feel entitled to support and serious consideration.

Careful listening and energetic, purposeful interaction are central in my method of treatment. Reducing anxiety, depression and difficulties in relationships and careers are crucial and worthwhile goals in my work as a psychotherapist. In the course of over 40 years of experience it has become my philosophy of psychotherapy that it is in the nature of relationships and careers to come to a crisis over time. Although the crisis invaribly leads to conflicts and is therefore anxiety producing, it is also an opportunity to work through issues to achieve insight and personal transformation.

It's amazing: talking in therapy is such a simple act, with powerful results. What keeps getting in the way of satisfaction--in relationships, in work? The patient and I form a sort of detective team to investigate this question. When self-defeating patterns of thinking and behavior come into conscious awareness, it becomes possible to make informed decisions, to act in ways that make life better. Therapy is serious, but it can be something to enjoy and look forward to. Depression and anxiety, isolation, anger, loneliness--all are states that we can address in treatment, with understanding, patience and respect.

Each of us has a unique personal history defining who we are, and how we function in the world in positive and problematic ways. By understanding formative influences we can free ourselves from patterns of thinking and behavior holding us back. I work with individuals and couples to help identify past experiences, and feelings, emotions, and patterns of behavior in present life and relationships that stand in the way of a deepening sense of identity. I bring an eclectic background to my work with patients, informed by a long history of engagement in the arts, and a thirty year career in the mental health field.

People seek therapy at vulnerable moments in their lives. Developing a space of safety is primary and it is important to me to hold this in mind as we begin. My primary role is to listen, and listen closely, though I work in an interactive fashion. I seek to help my patients develop self- compassion as they begin to consider aspects of their lives and experiences that have been kept "out of bounds". I am comfortable working with problems of mood, anxiety, relationships, work life and parenting issues.

Depression, anxiety, eating disorders,career difficulties, and relationship conflicts can feel overwhelming. An individual may feel stuck in unhealthy coping mechanisms. As a psychodynamic therapist, I know that individuals suffering from these difficutlies may exhibit similar symptoms, yet the underlying causality is unique to each individual. Revealing one's problem to a stranger can be difficult, I work with my clients to develop a safe environment where there is a mutual sense of authenticity, empathy, and trust. In collaboration with the client, we develop a treatment plan based on his/her individual needs and goals.

I am a NY State licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with children 6 years and older, adolescents and young adults. I use person centered approach and CBT to treat mood and anxiety disorders and other mental health problems. My authenticity and sense of humor, and ability to incorporate play into the sessions help me connect with children and treat them effectively. I believe individuals first need to feel safe, understood and supported within the therapeutic relationship. I also think it's important to tailor treatment interventions to fit the specific needs of individuals I am working with.

My focus in working with patients is for them to feel deeply understood by me and to feel safe in exploring their issues, whatever they might be. This understanding is best accomplished, in my mind, through the use of empathy. What is it like for you to be you? For me, the relationship between patient and therapist must point in the direction of healing oneself and through oneself, others. I fundamentally believe, like others before me, that the patient is the one who guides the process. Similarly, it is the patient who is my best teacher.

If you're looking for a therapist, it is vital to feel connected. Empathy, support, and a good fit; while necessary for change, is not sufficient. Through working together, we will identify the changes you want to make and you will learn methods and perspectives that can help you cope with life's ups and downs, and use not only while in therapy, but long after it ends.

My goal in working with patients is to provide a safe and calm environment to explore issues of concern to them. I understand that it is not always easy to speak about problems, but I believe that through careful listening and gentle inquiry, it is possible to begin to gain insight into feelings and behaviors. I very much respect the needs of each individual, and work in a way that recognizes that people have different ways of expressing themselves, and that it is critical to give people an opportunity to tell their own story in their own way, and in their own time.

I am a clinical social worker with post graduate training in classical and relational psychotherapy. I work with people dealing with depression, anxiety, body image issues, self esteem, money, career, and trauma. Together we will explore the factors keeping you stuck in repeated patterns of relating. One goal is to be able to have new experiences and discover places within yourself that may be yet unknown. Some pain is inevitable. We cannot change the past but by becoming more conscious, we become better equipped to make choices that aid in transformation.

I love working with people interested in improving and understanding their impact on their relationships to both themselves and others. Included would be issues of self esteem; relationships with family members; interactions in the workplace and social areas in which they find themselves.

There is no simple formula for helping people but there are necessary elements: an atmosphere of safety and respect, and openess to and curiosity about the uniqueness of each person. Therapy is essentially a series of conversations in which you and I create meaningful solutions to problems and difficulties in living. The opportunity provided by therapy for greater self awareness allows people to stop self defeating behavior and destructive patterns of living and to get on with making the best use of their time and talents.

People come to therapy with all sort of challenges. You may be stuck on a particular problem that seems to appear over and over or you are struggling with making decisions and then moving on. Maybe something unfortunate has happened in your life. Sometimes people have difficulty managing their emotions and the behaviors that result and want to learn to have better ways to cope. Often my clients are hoping to find deeper meaning in their work, their relationships and in the life they have created. Allowing yourself the space to engage in therapy provides an opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and private way.
