Therapists in Lincoln Square, New York, NY

Sometimes, even after we have achieved some of life’s major milestones, we can still wrestle with uncomfortable emotions; feelings of listlessness or the slight ache that something is missing. It may seem as if the world on the outside we have worked so hard to construct isn’t quite what it seems or brings us the happiness we hoped. The gap between what we feel and what we think we should feel can grow. We may experience feelings of self-doubt, shame, loneliness, and notice our relationships have begun to suffer. Where we once shined at work, feelings of boredom, impostor syndrome, or insecurity may plague us. Confusion sets in.

I believe that hurt, disappointment, sadness and grief are a normal part of the human experience. However, we often turn this hurt inward and create even more painful beliefs about ourselves and the world.

I offer curiosity, new ideas and techniques while helping my clients identify and shift patterns that no longer serve them.

I offer psychotherapy to individuals of all ages who are looking to engage more fully in life. This often includes those who are experiencing emotional or interpersonal difficulties that are interfering with their social, personal, educational, or professional lives.

In the 22 years I have been practicing psychotherapy, I have learned to focus on the needs of each individual for we are all unique.

I create a safe environment where problems in work and love can be resolved in a personal way.

If any of these issues speak to you, I'm here for you. I work with people of all races, religious affiliations and with the LGBTQ community. I have been referred to as a healing presence.
