Therapists in New York, NY

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.

I work with you to discover what a meaningful life looks like and make changes that lead to greater fulfillment and equanimity. Deep, attentive listening creates a safe space for you to explore your unfiltered thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we will create greater awareness and understanding of negative patterns that keep you stuck and experiment with different ways of responding to life’s many challenges and complexities. I am passionate about working with people struggling with low self-esteem and high self-criticism, stressful life transitions, and social anxiety.

Change can happen in an instant depending on a belief system. I work with recognizing, changing, and replacing faulty belief systems. The ability to relax and enjoy- while remaining vigilant to success and threats- comes by fighting the fire at the base. We take three roads: The thought (cognitive behavioral therapy), the feeling (psychodynamic), and the behavior (Pavlov/Skinner-behaviorism).

I hope to help my clients be curious and motivated to delve into their inner world. They might be struggling with feelings they can’t fully understand or life patterns they want to break. They’re seeking a space where they can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Their goal is to achieve a deeper understanding of themselves, leading to meaningful and lasting change. They want to live a more authentic life, driven by a sense of purpose and inner peace.

Sometimes, even after we have achieved some of life’s major milestones, we can still wrestle with uncomfortable emotions; feelings of listlessness or the slight ache that something is missing. It may seem as if the world on the outside we have worked so hard to construct isn’t quite what it seems or brings us the happiness we hoped. The gap between what we feel and what we think we should feel can grow. We may experience feelings of self-doubt, shame, loneliness, and notice our relationships have begun to suffer. Where we once shined at work, feelings of boredom, impostor syndrome, or insecurity may plague us. Confusion sets in.

You've been through a lot over the years. Your body is changing, your relationships have shifted, and your priorities have transformed over time — sometimes in good ways, sometimes not so much. You often feel uncertain about your identity. Being young can feel far away, but you don’t feel old, either. You grapple with a sense of "Who am I now? Which direction should I head?" Now, as you look around, you realize that a lot of these changes happened without you really being fully aware of what was going on. You want to take back control of your life, but you're not quite sure which steps to take.

Hello and welcome! Therapy serves two critical functions: 1) therapy is a scientific approach to mental health, addressing challenges through insights and targeted goals for enhanced functioning and well-being; 2) therapy embodies a humanitarian mission, much like education, by nurturing your curiosity and deepening your connection with self and others. I believe in a balanced approach that combines the two aspects to not only improve your mental health but also enrich your life with emotional literacy.

I am a Clinical Psychologist in New York, NYU faculty, with a Post-Doctoral degree in couples therapy and training in group therapy. Specializing in couples, individuals, and people's affinities for others, I find that relationships can be wonderful. They can also provide a platform for people to both learn about (and get into trouble with !) themselves and those they love. I work with couples, individual adults & groups to relate to time in the following ways: acknowledge the past, focus on the present, and consider the future. This sounds easier to do than it actually is to practice. So many difficult things in life are like that.

Maybe you haven’t found a therapist who gets you. Maybe you aren’t seeing the progress you hoped for. We’ve all been there.

Individual Therapy is a space for you to visit where you can feel understood, and not judged.

I am able to work with couples upon request.
