Specialties include childhood and complex trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues including adolescents.
In private practice for twenty-five years. I embrace a safe compassionate approach with persons suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship and childhood trauma. I use EMDR, mediation and Somatic Experiencing to connect mind, body and spirit. I am open to examining "isms" informing experience, especially work with bipoc clients. Scheduling a psychotherapy appointment is daunting--but courageous. Experience is essential to finding a right therapist. With a seasoned therapist, you will realize that depth and meaning is essential to "conversation". Authenticity, empathy and clarity create balance and love in work and play.

JUNE 2022: Currently accepting individuals for psychodynamically informed, attachment-oriented, weekly therapy or couples for weekly EFT-based couples therapy (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy). EFT-based couples therapy seeks to help couples identify the interactional patterns that keep couples disconnected. In understanding these patterns, we work to help partners learn and understand their habitual protective behaviors, their partner's protective behaviors, and to practice NEW ways of responding to one's self and one's partner.

Specialties: saving couples on-the-brink, marital rescue after infidelity, empty-nester marriages, family size decisions & co-parenting after divorce.
DURING THE PANDEMIC-ALL SESSIONS ARE CONDUCTED VIA ZOOM. What motivates me? 90% of divorcing couples do not receive EVEN ONE HOUR of marital therapy, 2/3 of divorces do not involve high-conflict marriages, children of divorce are twice as likely to divorce and 2/3 of divorces occur within the first 10 years of marriage. I have been married for 43 years, father of 4, counseling couples in NYC since 1980 with an 80% success rate in saving couples on the brink. Most couples wait 2 years before seeking any help. For goodness sake, DON'T WAIT! My mantra: I'll be the last person in the room to give up on your marriage

I'm a licensed art therapist who works with individuals, couples, and adolescents.
I enjoy working with couples who are interested in an open / polyamorous relationship. I have found that short-term therapy can be incredibly useful in setting up these types of arrangements when boundaries, trust, and communication are paramount. I also work with couples who are struggling with these issues in closed relationships. It is my goal to help you develop mutual respect, understanding, and empathic communication. The individuals that I work most effectively with are those experiencing a big life transition (new baby, divorce, job, graduation, etc) with challenges coping or have unresolved trauma of their past bubbling up

I believe the cornerstone of effective therapy is a collaborative therapeutic relationship. If clients can be actively engaged in the treatment process, the potential for growth and change can be profound. I strive to engage clients of all ages and backgrounds to develop personalized treatment approaches to meet their unique needs and goals. Whether managing life stressors or coping with depression, anxiety, substance use or trauma, I work with clients to help generate insight, identify strengths, and develop practical coping strategies to navigate their every day lives.

People come to therapy for a variety of different reasons. Some individuals embark on a therapeutic process with specific goals in mind or because they have recently been impacted by particularly challenging life events. Others may pursue therapy and specifically creative arts psychotherapy as an on-going process toward deeper self-knowledge, growth, and healing. I offer individuals and couples an approach that is holistic, client-centered, non-judgmental and creative through traditional talk therapy, creative arts infused therapy, and often a synthesis of the two.

These emotions can be hard to manage on your own. As a dedicated and open therapist, I would be honored to offer a safe space to heal the scars and burdens that you carry. I am a client centered therapist who will create your own individualized plan on how to cope with the challenges you are faced with. My practice utilizes a holistic yet evidenced based approach in order to ensure successful outcomes.

My approach in the therapeutic relationship integrates various theoretical perspectives which serve to guide our work together.
Famed poet Maya Angelou once said, “there is no greater agony then bearing an untold story inside you”. I believe we all have untold stories and these life stories can produce emotional discomforts and become a source of unresolved pain. With over 20 years’ experience I can support you in the therapeutic journey to gain awareness, insight, and understanding into beliefs about self that disrupt relationships and daily functioning. I completed certification in Couples Therapy and specialize in work with couples. Currently, I am pursuing certification as a sex therapist to help couples better address their sexual life.

I have had success with teens, adults, and couples.
Experienced individual and couples therapist. Often times, people find that they experience unhappiness, anxiety, or repeated obstacles to getting what they want in relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what the "universe" throws your way, and which of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately. I teach and practice psychoanalysis.

Many clients are in search of deeper happiness and emotional resilience in their lives and relationships. Often, out of innocence, we look outside ourselves for fulfillment instead of inward, towards our own true hearts. For over 25 years I have worked with couples and individuals seeking a way out of isolation and emotional suffering towards greater joy. This is your time to be on the planet. If you struggle with self-defeating patterns and would like help shifting towards a more vibrant life, please call me for a free consultation.

Peace is one of those terms that can have different meanings for different people. People often think peace is the absence of war and struggle. I have learned over time that two things can be true. Peace and harmony can exist with pain, sadness and even worry. Through my own self journey I have witnessed and experienced different ways of healing " Healing is not Linear." My goal is to walk with you on your journey because I believe you are the author of your life. I will meet you where you are but most importantly empower you with the tools to trust yourself. I work with teens, adults, and couples.
