Therapy. The perception of the word has gradually evolved from stigmatization ("Why do you go to therapy?") to curiosity ("Do you go to therapy?") to acceptance ("Who is your therapist?") And yet, a practice that has been around for thousands of years is still often peered at through a lens of apprehension. Perhaps your upbringing — or your religion — modeled that vulnerability equates to weakness. That your inner thoughts belong exactly there — inside your own mind. You wonder: Are others thinking similarly? Is it "normal" to feel certain ways? You begin to yearn to learn more about yourself and how you came to be, "you."

I have over five years' experience and all the themes to which intimacy therapy relates: addiction, relationships, stress and anxiety, depression, and things people turn to as initially adaptive coping mechanisms. I am a lifelong New Yorker and finished at the top of my class studying advanced clinical practice at graduate school (Columbia University).

You have already taken the first and most difficult step of therapy — showing up. Your reading this prompt is our first "intimate" bond. I have worked with countless individuals (from 16 to 86), many of whom tried therapy for the first time. I promise that I will devote every ounce of my capabilities to help process your unique journey and what it all means.

I have substantial experience working alongside individuals dealing with issues related to intimacy. A large percentage of them have struggled with sexual or pornography (or other) addictions. I use a two-pronged approach: Asking ourselves, "How do we measure progress and how can we get there?" and "What are the roots of this issue?" The two blend to create a more promising journey ahead.

I hesitate to define the "type" of therapies I most often employ, as I strive to treat each individual compassionately and uniquely. Together, we will identify strengths while processing past traumas and how they have impacted who you are today. Along the way, we will identify the coping mechanism(s) to which you have historically turned, and how we can dig deeper in order to keep moving forward.
