Welcome! I am a Brooklyn-based psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples in New York City.
Most recently, I was certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples ( EFT) developed by Dr Susan Johnson.
Have you felt like you are missing your partner, or have lost the ability to talk to each other? Do you long to feel more connected? If you cannot understand why so many of your interactions with your partner or children end up in arguments then I might be able to help. I work with families who are experiencing this kind of distance and escalations. My clients state that after our work together: they communicate better, feel more connected and 'in sync" with each other and are better able to meet each other's needs. I have heard comments such as, "I feel like I am falling in love again" and "thank you, I got my child back".

Reaching out to a therapist can be a daunting task. It is difficult to make changes and break unhealthy patterns and anxiety and depression can feel crippling. Therapy can play a large role in helping individuals lead happier, more productive lives. We all face challenges but with the proper support, your challenges do not need to define you or stop you from achieving happiness and success. I draw from different modalities to help my clients, including Psychodynamic, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Emotional Freedom Technique ( EFT), as I believe in treating each client as an individual.
