Do you often feel like you don’t belong or aren’t good enough despite your achievements? Does dread and disappointment linger as deadlines approach or set in after completing a task? You’re not alone—70% of people experience imposter syndrome at least once in their lifetime. In my 9 years of clinical practice, I’ve discovered that a major contributor to our symptoms is the lingering impact of past events, which continue to shape our perception of the present. These unresolved wounds can persistently get in our way. However, it is my belief that with the right conditions, every human brain has the capacity to heal.

My ideal client is a client that is motivated for change, and willing to be vulnerable, open, and honest. They are willing to put in the work and trust in the therapy process. It is my goal to assist the client in any way that I can and meet their needs in order to help them achieve their goals, gain a better balanced self, and improve their overall mental health.

I have worked as a clinical psychologist since 2004. Originally from the NYC metropolitan area, I have lived in upstate NY for many years. My approach to psychotherapy is tailored to both presenting problems and clients’ interest in exploring questions. Sometimes, short-term and goal-directed psychotherapy is the best path, while at other times, a longer self-exploration is more helpful for self-seeing. I will meet you at your starting point and try to help you gain clarity and understanding into your questions, with the goal of helping you overcome the obstacles that keep you stuck in a situation or mindset.

I offer Somatic Experiencing (SE) sessions. Do you struggle with the effects of trauma, stress, neglect or injury? Feeling overwhelmed by issues of social justice and the environment? Living with and talking about these things can cause strong reactions in our bodies that deserve their own approach, in addition to psychotherapy. We want to feel comfortable in our skin - able to rest, feel a sense of belonging and confidently stand up for ourselves and others in a balanced way. SE helps clients navigate painful emotions and memories as the related physical sensations gently become more differentiated and take on new meanings.

When life becomes more of a mystery to embrace than a series of problems to solve, a shift or crack occurs in our perspective. This crack allows the light and miracle of peace and intimacy to gently blossom. Leaning into mystery and discovering intimacy has been at the core of both my personal and professional journey. Of course, life is always going to be a series of problems to solve. That’s the content of our lives. But when mystery is the lens or context from which these problems are viewed, the problems look and feel differently. We start noticing options. Transformation becomes accessible.

I AM CURRENTLY. UNABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS Seeing a therapist -- this is not an easy step you’re considering. Putting your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings in the hands of a stranger takes some courage and a bit of a leap of faith. Whether you’re feeling anxious or depressed, or are in a troubled marriage or relationship, or struggling with issues that have no label, you’re probably feeling stuck. Stuck is when people call a therapist. It’s after they have tried everything: waiting for things to get better, talking to friends or relatives, or reading self-help books.

I’m passionate about helping to heal from trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and other challenges. I'm also interested in identity issues - “who am I in the face of this?” - such as those coming from life transitions, realizations about sexual orientation, severe addiction, spirituality or religion, being in a relationship with an addicted or narcissistic person, or from having a long-term diagnosis like ADHD or Borderline Personality Disorder. I work with teens, young adults, middle aged and elders; couples, families, and individuals.

If things are not going well in your life, or you don't feel the way you'd like to feel, a good therapist can help. I think it's important to take a practical approach to therapy, especially in the beginning. Let's get you feeling better. I'll build your confidence in yourself and in your direction. I will teach you skills that you can practice in between sessions that build on what we discuss. From there, we can work together to figure out the origins of your symptoms and develop a deeper understanding of who you are so that we can work on who you want to be and how you want to feel for the rest of your life.

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
