Therapists in Central Park, New York, NY
Life is increasingly complex, and so it is important to find a space you can feel grounded. My style is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. I approach things pragmatically to support you in reaching your goals and learning to leave behind the things you may have outgrown. I believe that psychologists are most effective when we examine our own context, biases, and experiences. The sign of a truly effective therapy relationship is one where you feel comfortable voicing your perspective, even if history has made you cautious. I empower my clients to find and use their voice in therapy and out in the world.

I work best with people who want to change their lives but feel stuck, confused and paralyzed by fear and anxiety. They feel dishonest with themselves and frustrated for giving up on their true desires. However, deep inside they know they can do better. This struggle is their most intimate enemy. They feel alienated and unhappy sometimes in their relationships, work, profession, and in their daily lives in general. I help them to feel more confident about themselves, motivated to take control over their lives and to make the changes they want to make.

The source of your discomfort may seem obvious or feel out of reach. Whatever the case, exploring your experience has the power to be revealing and, in that way, transformative. My aim as a therapist is to together gain a better understanding of who you are and why you are — of your patterns, instincts, desires. Through this process we will challenge fixed ideas and, in doing so, build out a larger picture of your life and you within it.

I am a NY State licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with children 6 years and older, adolescents and young adults. I use person centered approach and CBT to treat mood and anxiety disorders and other mental health problems. My authenticity and sense of humor, and ability to incorporate play into the sessions help me connect with children and treat them effectively. I believe individuals first need to feel safe, understood and supported within the therapeutic relationship. I also think it's important to tailor treatment interventions to fit the specific needs of individuals I am working with.

At times, therapy can feel necessary in the short-term to help navigate a crisis situation. At other times, it can be a longer process of self-exploration and growth. My goal is to help you tell your story, figure out how to overcome stuckness, and live a more meaningful life in whatever way you define that. We will pay close attention to the patterns that frustrate you, the things you want but can't seem to get, the parts of yourself you want to express but remain hidden or misunderstood.

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is Optional.” Family dynamics, traumatic experiences, life challenges/ transitions, chronic illness, as well as our own cognitive, emotional, and biological vulnerabilities may sometimes cause us pain. However, the way we perceive, think and cope with these situations and susceptibilities can sometimes exceed that of the actual events, and may eventually lead to prolonged suffering and interfere with life satisfaction. Recovery—from any significant condition or life challenge—is a gradual, progressive, and ongoing process of restoring balance in mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual functioning.

It's perfectly normal and expected to feel some ambivalence about beginning psychotherapy. There is a natural fear that talking about one's concerns will make them worse and that even things that are going well could worsen in the process. My experience and training over 30 years has shown me however, that the therapeutic process enriches and strengthens what is already going well. The areas that one wants to improve become much better understood through the process, thereby clearing the way for real change to occur, which will only lead to a significantly more fulfilled life.
