I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at Yeshiva University and psychoanalytic training at New York University. I have been in private practice for over 35 years, treating adolescents and adults. Most of the people I see, seek treatment to get help with difficulties in relationships. In psychotherapy, we identify repetitive patterns that interfere with the initiation and/or maintenance of intimate relationships. I also work with people who experience anxiety or depressive states.

My psychoanalytic approach surprises people by making connections that have an immediate emotional impact.
I see people who: have what they want but they are not happy, they feel guilty about their happiness. Who struggle to see a vision of the future, who fear they will never have what they need. Who wonder if the problem is practical and real or if there is something they are doing - but asking these questions alone only makes things feel worse. Who feel too much or too little, who cry all the time or wish they could cry. Who can’t stop repeating the same mistakes because they at least provide momentary relief. Above all, who want to be at peace with themselves. I am a practitioner of Zen Buddhism and meditation.

My Interpersonal Psychoanalytic training informs both my short and long term work.
My clients come to me when they are experiencing an increase in stress and anxiety or are feeling sad, lonely or overwhelmed. Something in their life is not working or is suddenly more difficult than before. I help my clients develop an appreciation for their own stories and to make sense of uncomfortable feelings that prevent them from pursuing goals, that cause problems in relationships or hold them back from creating more satisfying and fulfilling social, family and work lives.

My work is informed by contemporary psychoanalytic theories and techniques because I believe these help facilitate a process that addresses the deepest levels of distress and has the most lasting benefits.
Life moves quickly, and therapy can help you to slow down and reflect on your experience in ways that open up new possibilities. In this process, even the most troubling symptoms contain important potential energy. As a therapist I work to strike a balance between creating space for reflection and participating actively in the process, including, when needed, telling you what I really think. But most of all, I have respect for the particular difficulties that you face and for the ways in which you have lived with them.

Do you sometimes find yourself in uncomfortable or painful interactions with others? Do you find yourself conflicted about decisions? Perhaps your difficulties are intense and active, infused with a sense of dread or anger. Or maybe it might be more like a deadness in the form of numbing or repetitive patterns from which you wish to awaken and/or relax into a life of homeostasis.

Therapy is about listening in-depth - to stories of our past and present, to our emotions, our affects, and our ways of relating. I create a safe space to listen carefully and empathically to help you understand how you have developed into who you are, and what gets in the way in the here and now. There are many ways to do this work. I believe the most important place to start in any modality is by establishing a solid therapeutic alliance. This relationship becomes a vehicle for exploring other ways of relating. I have a particular interest in childhood trauma, attachment, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.

"At its best, psychotherapy alleviates suffering and makes possible a richer, more meaningful life. I work with patients by drawing on a number of different perspectives. In particular, I use a psychoanalytic approach to address repetitive patterns and historical forces that prevent people from creating the life they want to live and to untangle what's been painful in the past from what's possible in the future. I integrate behavioral interventions when appropriate to confront specific problems and to help people develop a sense of competency, control, and agency."

My approach is psychoanalytic, but also is highly individualized.
Psychotherapy alleviates suffering and expands your capacity to live a fulfilling life. It helps you to build stronger relationships, find satisfaction in work, be more creative, and achieve your goals - whatever they may be. Good psychotherapy works through collaboration; we work together to understand your experiences, memories and relationships in order to create openings for change. My practice is diverse across race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and age. I believe that therapists must be sensitive to social issues and must bring into treatment an understanding of the suffering and trauma caused by marginalization.

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.
