I am an experienced adult psychotherapist with accredited postgraduate training and clinical experience. I have special interests in work-related stress, performance anxiety, eating disorders and interpersonal relationships. I have an active affiliation with many major insurance plans. You can expect to have a consultation within one to two days. My office is conveniently located on the Upper West Side. Curiosity, humor and a toleration of paradox and irony can help. Let's see how we can bring out the best in you and make the world a better place for everyone.
I have also provided couples and marital
therapy and have current experience in
panic disorders, phobias, and performance anxiety in the creative arts
and sports.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP) consultant-provider. Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work and Traumatic Stress. Member, New York Academy of Sciences.
