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.

Seeking therapy can be a daunting task and often people are ambivalent about entering a therapeutic relationship. Through years of psychotherapy practice with adolescents, adults and couples, I have found that real change is possible when one feels safe, validated and accepted. My work is grounded in the belief that with the right support and practical tools one can gain confidence in tackling obstacles such as anxiety, depression, loss and difficult life events or transitions. My style is integrative, interpersonal and solution focused. I believe it is most important to meet the individual where they are.

Having recovered from a 17-yr struggle with bulimia, I know first hand the feeling of being shackled by an eating disorder. Utilizing a combination of relational, behavioral, and trauma-informed modaities, I walk alongside clients to help heal unresolved issues, get unstuck, have a stronger sense of self, and gain skills to create meaningful lives. Because of my personal and professional experience with recovery, I have incredible compassion and commitment to clients struggling with eating disorders.

Is your mother toxic? I am a licensed psychologist specializing in people with destructive mothers.

I have a wide range of clinical interests and expertise including trauma/bereavement, autistic spectrum disorders, parenting issues, and individual adult relational psychoanalysis. I am trained in parent-infant psychotherapy as intervention at the earliest ages can prevent/lessen the impact of potential risk factors that can derail a child's development.

Choosing a therapist is a very personal matter, especially if you have never been in therapy before. Being able to talk in a safe environment is essential. I am a caring and empathic therapist with 20 years experience in body/mind psychotherapy. I bring to my work the utmost respect for the innate wisdom of each individual.

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 practicing psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy in NYC with adults for over 20 years.

I am experienced with both short- and long-term individual and couples therapy, and I am a trained hypnotherapist. I believe that everyone has the potential to feel better about themselves and to get past self-created and learned limitations

I think people come to therapy with a purpose - to realize certain hopes, address pressing difficulties, reduce the obstacles in their way. I view psychotherapy as an active collaboration around that purpose, and seek to create a welcoming and comfortable base of strengthening support. I have twenty years' experience helping people manage anxiety, mood disorders, issues of self-esteem, loss, relationship problems. I use diverse approaches, drawing on: training in psychoanalysis; techniques gained doing couples treatment; skills from extensive work with teens. Additionally, I have expertise treating substance abuse. I have written and presented widely on these subjects, and am on the faculty at NYU.

I have more than 30 years of experience working with clients who have anxiety, depression, eating disorders, or difficulties in their personal relationships or at work. In developing a therapeutic relationship with you, I aim to create a warm and safe environment in which to explore and understand the behavior, thought patterns and feelings that are a source of concern for you. I will develop with you an individualized approach that may draw upon traditional psychodynamic therapy or newer behavioral treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

People who feel anxious, depressed or just lonely make major improvements in their lives, careers and relationships, working with me to understand the issues which cause their distress. Working with depressive disorder, anxiety, relationship problems, career problems, and substance abuse my services include individual psychotherapy, group and couples work. As a licensed psychotherapist, I received my MSW from Columbia University and received analytic training at Washington Square Institute and The Center for the Advancement of Group Analytic Studies. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist I had a career as a Marketing Executive which makes me well qualified to work with professionals struggling with career advancement issues.

I am often described as a warm, empathic person who creates a comfortable, supportive, and safe therapeutic environment. Unlike the distant, silent psychoanalyst stereotype, I am a real person in the room. I respond to what you tell me, ask questions, and will even share a laugh with you. My approach is based on the premise that relationships are essential in shaping who we are as people and how we experience the world.

With over 30 years of private practice, I have seen major changes in people resolving problems and changing their lives for the better. You may come in with issues such as relationships difficulties, anxiety, depression, narcissism, sexual identity, coping with stress, self-sabotage, lack of confidence, problems with aging, and others, which we can deal with together. In therapy, we have an opportunity to identify repetitive patterns and assumptions that interfere with a satisfying life. I bring an analytically informed approach, while maintaining a focus on your present life and interactions, as well as using the relationship between us as a valuable source of information.

Highly experienced and knowledgeable therapist working with an interactive approach to clearly identify the obstacles holding you back and support the breakthroughs to your goals. Using a collaborative, psycho-dynamic framework that is focused on your specific needs, discovery of greater emotional stability and well-being is within reach. I provide empathy and deep understanding around circumstances relating to a broad spectrum of personal challenges including relationship issues, work-related challenges, loss of a loved one or dealing with the natural process of aging.

What might you gain from psychotherapy? Life can feel rushed and crowded, full of stimulation, demands, and obligations, yet we often feel quite isolated and alone with our most intimate problems and concerns. In the company of a skilled and attentive professional, it might be possible to explore your thoughts and feelings -- discovering new and different perspectives and options along the way. Together we can work to identify and understand the conflicts and issues that affect the quality of your life, work, and relationships.

The goal of my therapeutic practice is to create an analytic and intuitive space to help you work on exploring and resolving your unconscious thoughts and conflicts that might be the basis of your mental distress. Fostering deeper acceptance and understanding of your unconscious thoughts and wishes can provide relief from depression, alleviate anxiety, and improve interpersonal relationships. I have empathy, openness, and an eye for psychodynamics that allows this space to be recreated each week throughout our therapeutic relationship.
