I integrate anti-oppressive, trauma informed, experiential, psychodynamic, and relational psychoanalytic approaches in our work together to alleviate your distress and help you understand how lived experiences have shaped your consciousness.
Looking for an affirming, safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself? Together we can work through whatever challenges you are facing to meet goals that have seemed difficult to attain. My intention is to pave the way toward healing, acceptance of your full authentic self, and long-term growth. Drawing on knowledge from queer, and critical race theory, we will work collaboratively to help you navigate systemic issues and its impact on your intersecting identities.

My work is primarily psychoanalytic and psychodynamic, (a focus on conscious and unconscious processes), combining insight and reflection, but I have a pragmatic streak addressing your coping skills, mindfulness in the present moment, and your interpersonal interactions and (any) self destructive patterns.
Are you stuck? Same problems, same thoughts? Unable to play, or imagine something different? Depression, anxiety, addictions and trauma require another person to help you understand their pull and face them, so they no longer control your life. Suffering alone only forces the pain underground to emerge in symptoms, behaviors and personal interactions that undermine your life and lead you to hide even more from others. The therapy relationship is one where you hope to explore who you are with another person to allow your desires to emerge without shame and fear.

I have trained at numerous outpatient and inpatient sites, including The New York Psychoanalytic Institute and Mount Sinai Hospital.
Engaging in personal exploration through therapy, though occasionally fraught with pain and difficulty, yields profound insights into our deepest fears and desires. By bringing our feelings, thoughts, and motivations into conscious awareness, we can begin to understand the self-defeating patterns that get in the way of our fulfillment in love, relationships, and work. As a psychologist, I primarily work with adults, including young adults navigating their identities and professionals balancing their work and personal lives. In addition, I specialize in treating individuals struggling with trauma and personality disorders.

Starting psychotherapy can be an exciting and anxiety-provoking process as you take active steps to make changes in your life and relationships. I approach psychotherapy as a collaboration and work in an integrative way, tailoring interventions to individual needs. I believe that therapy's aim is not only to make improvements but also to manage disappointments. To this end, we can simultaneously engage in meaningful explorations while developing important coping skills, including mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. I offer individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to adults, children, and adolescents, and work with different family and relationship configurations.

The aim of analytic work is to discover and create the conditions of possibility for transformation in life and experience. Sometimes the roots of one's difficulties are not immediately apparent. I invite you to engage in the work of confronting your own way of living—one shaped by your history, society, culture, and your own actions, memories, and emotions. I pay close attention to each individual's complex and particular mode of engaging with the world, with others, and with their inner life.

As a licensed and skilled family therapist, I offer services to individuals, couples, teens, children, and families. Based on my education, training, and life experiences I believe that the individual can be better understood through the context of their relationships (family, romantic, etc.). I believe it is more important to understand the meaning of emotions, versus whether they are right or wrong to feel.

I have graduate degrees from the University of Chicago and The Derner Institute of Psychological Studies at Adelphi and completed psychoanalytic training at Columbia University where I am also on the faculty.
People often seek therapy at a point where life feels too stressful or off-kilter. This point might emerge gradually or occur in the face of acute problems, stressors or losses that feel overwhelming. Effective therapy requires commitment and engagement on both the part of the therapist and patient and often involves exploring parts of oneself and one’s life that feel elusive or painful. The pursuit of change and growth can take time, however there is a remarkable payoff to effective treatment, which can include greater freedom and satisfaction in the areas of love and intimacy, family and relationships, creativity and work.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
