I work as an interactive partner to help you work through self-defeating patterns and develop more beneficial coping strategies. I provide a safe and supportive environment that allows for genuine exploration of current and past relationships and experiences in order to promote personal development and lasting change. My practice is diverse regarding race, culture and sexual orientation.

I work with adults aged 18 and over who come to address all kinds of concerns. As disruptive and difficult as symptoms and troubling experiences can be, I believe that they serve as signposts that show us where our energy may be unproductively trapped. I use a process of skilled listening and dialogue to help people read such signposts. Many find that when they can translate their signs into a language comprehensible to themselves, the energy trapped in symptoms stops causing suffering and becomes available to fuel a passionate life.

I have been a Social Worker in private practice for over 20 years on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I enjoy working with both individuals and couples. Relationship distress is the most common problem that bring people in to see me, but anxiety, depression and life confusion are also often part of the stories that I hear. Helping people to manage, understand and strengthen important relationships is a primary focus. I enjoy working with teens and adults of every age.

Thank you for your interest. I am a licensed psychologist in practice for over 20 years.

I believe that everyone has the potential to feel better about themselves and to get past self-created and learned limitations

Integration and balance. These are the two guiding principles of my therapeutic approach. Sometimes people find themselves lost, astray, or simply curious about their current state in life. When we hit our lowest point, however, we may access the greatest change within ourselves. At some point in time, we may have lost our sense of self, while in other cases we may have struggled to form a coherent identity no matter how successful or secure we may appear. Nevertheless, we all have the potential to cultivate our resiliency and better understand who we are and who we wish to be.

Have you ever felt like your life is unraveling, the rug is being pulled from beneath you and you are coming undone? What felt safe, now feels dangerous, what was clear is now confusing. Are you struggling in relationship? Finding it difficult to grow up and own your independence? You may be feeling overwhelming anxiety, sadness, shame, fear and/or anger.

In the words of Carl Jung ""There's no coming to consciousness without pain." Entering psychotherapy is, literally, life saving. Many of us function "in the dark" for years, going through the motions of life without any deeper sense of meaning. This absence of meaning results in an "unlived life" of emotional distress and a variety of symptoms. Many continue to suffer because they fear another sort of pain...that involved with the process of getting to truly know oneself. The difference is that the pain involved with coming to consciousness is simply part of the journey, not the destination.

Individual and Couple sessions informed by attachment theory, trauma and when needed sex therapy are provided in my Columbus Circle office. I can help with communication, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and attention issues. I am certified in EMDR and Board Certified in Neurofeedback and trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. EMDR and Neurofeedback are 2 of the key treatment therapies recommended in the book; BODY KEEPS THE SCORE by Bessel van der Kolk, MD. Research demonstrates how the brain and our emotional lives interact and how with assistance we can change our lives.

I can help you pursue your dreams without fear of your mother's disapproval and transform your childhood wounds into peace, power and wisdom. I can also help you find courage and strength in face of grief and loss. If you are young adult, I can help you through the angst of difficult life transitions. If you are a lawyer or other professional I can help you manage work/life stress in high power careers. I also help individuals affected by PTSD, phobias and performance anxiety by using a scientifically-proven technique called EMDR.

For over 25 years, I have had the privilege of working with people who have shared their lives with me and trusted me to help through challenging times. Together we will work to find a way to better living - with less distress, more satisfying work and relationships, and a life with greater meaning. I work within a psychodynamic framework while practicing an integrative treatment model; I believe that both understanding yourself better and learning ways to manage difficult emotions are key to a meaningful and satisfying life.

Psychotherapy is a process of discovery and understanding of feelings associated with pain and suffering, involving building of own narrative in the presence of the Other (the therapist), allowing understanding, and alleviation of pain, shedding of destructive patterns. I work with people dealing with depression and anxiety, traumatic events of the past, struggling with lack of meaning and direction. I work with teenagers helping them deal with peer pressure and demands of school performance. I provide confidential, non-judgmental, and creative space in which the process of cure unfolds and healing is possible.

Engaging in therapy is a significant step with the potential to be life altering. Whether you are inquiring due to a recent loss or transition, difficulty coping with daily life due to anxiety or depression, or relationship concerns, you will find a safe and supportive healing environment.

Life can be difficult, let's try to make it easier.
