My psychodynamic approach focuses on feelings and thoughts.
I provide counseling for individuals, couples and families. Together we explore strategies for gaining insight and improving connections. Conflicts and crises often have origins that are not obvious and, consequently, seem impossible to solve. I work with clients toward a better understanding of their current, challenging situations, focusing on personal growth and more satisfying relationships. Change often begins with the first bold step of reaching out.

As a NY State licensed Psychologist I provide psychotherapy to adults, couples, and families. As a practitioner for over 25 years my work is psychodynamic in nature whereby I strive to understand why one has come into therapy; why they are looking for help and ways to alleviate their distress and provide relief going forward. This can be difficult so my nonjudgmental focus is on exploring, understanding, and empathizing with each unique situation and accompanying f.eelings. I work within the theoretical framework of Object Relations exploring relationships with support and empathy allowing relief and change to emerge.

While my training is grounded in modern psychodynamic theories, I frequently draw upon cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, humanistic, neurocognitive, and skills-based approaches to inform my treatment.
Life is a journey. Too often, though, we find ourselves adrift, feeling alone, scared, and without a map to navigate. I believe that therapy provides a trusting, compassionate, and facilitative relationship for moving through life's uncertain waters. My goal is to help you feel more in control of your life by gaining insights into patterns and relationships that may hold you back, and to develop practical skills for coping with life's inevitable challenges. I believe that, together, we can help you realize your potential, feel more connected to others, and set your own course on your journey.

I incorporate evidence-based practice techniques from modalities of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy in my practice in order to address your individual needs.
One of the most courageous things we can do is to begin to understand our own story. What often precedes healing, however, is profound confusion and discomfort which deters us from delving deeper within. The process of growth is often accompanied by fear of the unknown and thus, can appear a daunting task. But you are not alone. My goal is to walk alongside you as you come to know yourself and navigate the path to a happier, healthier life. More importantly, what are your goals? What makes you feel safe? Therapy strengthens our insight by compassionately confronting us with the questions we have never dared to ask ourselves before.

The people who I work with often come to therapy after a change in their life has led them to question how they can overcome difficult situations and understand their decisions in order to live a more meaningful life and improve their relationships to self and others. Transitions such as starting college, having a child, losing a loved one, or ending a relationship are often events that cause a shift in understanding of ourselves and our worlds. Expectations about how life should be may not fit our reality, or old patterns or ways of coping that may have previously been effective become problematic.

Most of us experience emotional conflict. Anxiety, depression, loss or seemingly impossible situations are among the challenges that interfere with our ability to sustain satisfactory relations at home, the workplace - and most importantly, within ourselves. Feelings of sadness or discontent can lead us unproductively towards substance dependence or persistent grief that overwhelms our lives. Obstacles such as poor self-esteem or past traumas are possible to overcome. Through sensitive inquiry, I encourage exploration of your thought process and resulting behaviors. While respecting your individual concerns, my overall goal is for you to achieve a sense of well-being.

Do you want to find your way through this crisis and come out stronger and even more empowered? It is possible!!! Quarantined and in "social isolation" we can go deeper within (even if we didn't want to.) We can use this opportunity to look inside and discover inner issues that keep us from being who we really are, and find the inner gifts and resources we didn't know we had, to go to the next level of our more empowered life. We can learn how to adapt successfully.

Psychodynamic Therapists
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
