I believe that we are built to grow and evolve, and that everyone is capable of creating a rich, rewarding life. As a psychotherapist, my job is to help you turn the obstacles that you are now facing into opportunities to learn, change and thrive. How do you want to feel? How do you want to handle challenges? Who do you want surrounding you? What would it take to make you feel as though you were living your best life? I partner with you to answer these questions and work toward releasing all that stands in your way.

I have been in private practice for more than 15 years and pride myself on helping individuals develop a strong sense of identity. I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The New School for Social Research and have extensive training from Beth Israel Medical Center, North Central Bronx Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital, and New York Presbyterian Hospital. I practice in Westport, CT, and Manhattan, NY. I work with families, adults, children, and adolescents suffering from mood, anxiety, and eating disorders, and help cope with life transitions, including parenthood, divorce, emerging adulthood, medical illness, and end-of- life.

My one goal is to help you live an authentically joyful and fulfilling life. Anxiety and depression might be reasons for considering therapy but we often ignore or fail to recognize experiences of trauma. Unresolved trauma results in emotions and bodily feelings that keep you "stuck" in your life. Personal tragedies can cause trauma but trauma is also the cumulative result of every day stressors, such as COVID, relationship issues, employment, FOMO, and social media use. As a result, we may then experience negative emotional states that cause us to get pulled into unproductive and even harmful relationships and social situations.

There is no reason to delay... a better life is yours for the making! If you are thinking of coming to therapy there is probably at least a small part of you that knows things could be better in your life. I specialize in helping you articulate what is getting in the way and moving to where you want to be. The specific challenge may be a relationship that isn't working, a pattern of behavior, a way of treating yourself or other issue. I am easy to talk to and highly interactive.

In my work with children and adolescents, I help with emotional and behavioral difficulties that interfere with school and family life.
For most clients, my therapeutic philosophy is "less is more." In my work with adults and children, my goal is to help clients get back on their feet as quickly as possible, and then be available when they want to "check in."
In my previous career, I worked for a Boston-based asset management firm. That experience helps me appreciate the uniqueness of women making life transitions, and relate to men who typically would "never go to therapy."

My approach is informed by the importance of developing healthy attachment templates in early life and how those patterns are replayed in our adult lives, often without our awareness.
Happy relationships are a refuge from other life stressors, while unhappy ones permeate every aspect of our lives. The focus of my work is on helping clients to create and sustain them. I teach clients how to become more intimate emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually with both themselves and their partners. Some of my clients are dealing with the aftermath of an affair; some are unclear about what they want; some wonder why they repeatedly push others away; and some are trying to understand themselves (a prerequisite for being in a relationship.)

I believe that you are not defined by your past experiences, and with the right support and guidance, you can break free from the cycle of abuse and create a life filled with self-love, resilience, and empowerment.
Are you going through an antagonistic divorce? Healing from an abusive relationship? Have you grown up in a household with antagonistic parents or siblings? Antagonism can lead to feelings of isolation, fear and insecurity. There are often feelings of sadness, disappointment, resentment, anger, and frustration, for feeling wronged and unsupported. Self alienation from friends and family can stem from feelings of not being understood and not knowing yourself. Therapy can help bridge the gap to knowing and trusting yourself again.

My primary objective is to provide a customized therapeutic experience to assist clients in handling challenging life experiences.
Hello and thank you for looking at my profile. I believe therapy isn’t about digging up negative experiences from the past and dwelling on them, it is about seeing the ways the past is controlling your present. When our past interferes with our present we can find ourselves feeling stuck and dissatisfied. We are perhaps surviving but not thriving. Therapy can also be about recognizing behavior patterns and/or learning better coping skills. Anxiety, trauma, life-stressors, digital addiction, ADHD,OCD, teen, young adult and men’s issues as well as parenting in the Digital age are a few of my specialties.
