I believe in the healing power of human connection, which can bring about transformative change. Clients come to psychotherapy for many reasons, and my job is learning about your concerns in order to design a course of psychotherapy that moves you towards feeling well and functioning at your optimum capacity. If you're burned out, restless, stressed, or scared, supportive counseling can get you through a difficult transition. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Relational Psychodynamic Therapy help you experience relief of troubling symptoms that occur during mood and trauma-related disorders.

My psychotherapy practice is informed by formal training in contemplative and psychodynamic therapies, valuing health and wellness. My framework is a natural outcome of my own ongoing therapeutic work and developing spiritual practice, allowing me to more fluently move between the spiritual language of love and compassion and the psychological language of emotional distress and resiliency. The focus is on the here and now, understanding that your early developmental experiences affect your present feelings, mood, and behavior, often masking your natural capacity for well-being. Those experiencing life changes, challenges, transitions, such as loss and grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, work-related issues would benefit.

Psychotherapy is a collaboration between therapist and client. It makes use of the strengths, resources and goals of the client and the supportive attunement, non-judgmental perspective, training and experience of the therapist. Many of my clients come to me because they want to incorporate mindfulness and somatic therapies with talk therapy in order to work more effectively with anxiety, depression, pain and other challenges.

Providing mental health care in the New York metro area for the past 20 years has taught me to honor each client’s unique journey as they navigate life's transitions. During these transitions, shared themes emerge around loss, grief, trauma, interpersonal relationships, and coming to terms with our own identities. While these common themes inform my approach to providing psychotherapy, individual circumstances require tailored therapeutic treatment. By collaborating with clients on their purpose, direction, and goals of psychotherapy, we work together to shape treatment.

If someone asks you how you think you’re doing in your life, what would you say? We may see signs that our life has gotten off course. Sometimes, others share their concerns for us, but we believe we can manage it ourselves. I meet each client where they are on their journey. Some have endured a difficult past or ongoing stress. Others have been through a traumatic event such as an accident, or the loss of a loved one through death or a break-up. Often, we don't recognize the impact of emotional toll, disguised as anxiety or other symptoms. My work helps you to connect the dots, providing support as you (re)build your best life.

For me, being a therapist is a privilege. I like to work with anyone eager to understand what is happening to them in their life. Together, we'll try to understand the factors that are creating the trouble - including some of the unconscious ones - and then we'll put them in perspective, cut them down to size, and talk about what can be done. I create a safe, intelligent, and empathic environment for counseling where we can talk about anything without judgment. My office is a safe place to be yourself. So many of our problems have their root in isolation and anxiety, and that is something we can address together.

Working together we can find novel ways of addressing the issues that are causing you distress and start you on the path to a more satisfying life.
