The first step is realizing you're facing a challenge that needs your attention or perhaps you notice things are not flowing for you lately. The second step is realizing that you need assistance processing it to understand it fully, like most of us. The third and last step is deciding to make a change in your life by taking action, and starting a therapeutic relationship with an effective and experienced psychotherapist.
Having worked for over two decades in the heart of NYC, I feel honored to share my professional expertise and passion with the most diverse clientele in the world right at home. I offer a unique experience with the skillful art of listening, a solid clinical background and, most importanlty, the privilege of confidentiality and time.
Things get better when they are addressed. Are you trying to figure out where to start? You’ve already taken the most challenging step by coming here. Ready to take the next step? If so, please email me to schedule a session. See you soon!
