Psychoanalytic Therapists in Midtown West, New York, NY
First, I invite you to learn more about me and my work by visiting my website. If you think we may be a match, we can arrange a complimentary 15-minute consultation. I offer this because I believe entering psychotherapy can be one of the most important, life-altering decisions you ever make. Your decision to go into therapy probably was not easy, and the choice of a therapist deserves even greater consideration. You must, in addition to evaluating a therapist’s training and experience, find the right person. Success depends on a good “match” requiring empathy, trust, safety, and respect, sometimes spiced with humor and playfulness.

I am a psychologist practicing near Columbus Circle. I work with a range of adults, including college and graduate students, working professionals, and individuals with chronic health issues. Many of the individuals I work with are seeking greater self-understanding; a more integrated sense of identity; or greater means of coping with traumatic events, loss, or difficult life stressors.

My approach to therapy focuses on the relationship and creating a safe environment for exploration and growth. Whether you struggle with issues unique to the LGBTQ+/ BIPOC community, interpersonal conflicts, mood shifts related to chronic pain, self esteem or social anxiety, a supportive bond has proven to be the key to change. Hopefully together we can become more curious about your unique point of view and find pathways to change that could lead to a more fulfillng life. My approach to therapy is trauma-informed and interpersonal, in the tradition of relational psychoanalysis.

Deciding to enter therapy is an act of courage. If you feel overwhelmed or are dealing with situations in your life you can't manage therapy can make a difference when nothing else has worked. I help my patients recognize previously-unknown obstacles and long-standing patterns that get in the way of achieving their goals. In their work with me, my patients expand their capacity to see options in various areas of their lives, and so can make changes that improve and enhance the quality of their lives. I treat adults of all backgrounds and identities, and bring compassion and respect for a person's suffering to this work.

I like to do a two session consultation. In the first session you will have the space to tell me what has prompted you to seek treatment at this time. And in the second, through careful and non-intrusive inquiry, we will delineate the personality patterns that might be underpinning your current concerns. From there you can decide to work with me, I can help you find another therapist that better meets your needs, or we can simply part ways. The choice is yours, and the increased understanding is yours to keep!

Trained in both classical and contemporary analysis, I focus on depression and anxiety, sexual and relationship issues, trauma and self-identity problems. We would start with a consultation and our goal would be to establish a fruitful connection from the beginning. My other goals include helping you with your feelings, the troubling ones that return unwanted. I have found listening well is at least as important as talking well. Speech contains levels of meaning and so does silence. We discourse together in a dialogue leading to better relationships, better functioning, and better experiences.

I believe that safety, creativity and collaborative give-and-take are the crucial ingredients for a successful therapy experience. This enables the patient to look at past and present difficulties within the context of a new and potentially transformative relationship. I work to create an environment where patients can get to know and tolerate knowing many parts of themselves. I approach this task with sensitivity, curiosity, humor and warmth.

Oftentimes, even the strongest and most resilient need a helping hand. If you're feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, angry, sad or simply feeling unlike yourself, maybe it's time you take the hand of someone else to help get you back to feeling like yourself again.

Beginning therapy is a big deal. Talking about oneself to someone you’ve never met before can be daunting. Will you be judged? Given advice you didn’t ask for? Not given feedback you really need? You’ve probably been grappling with the issues that prompted you to make the appointment for some time, and may feel badly that you couldn’t figure it out yourself. In that first session I’ll be listening to understand what’s the matter but also how you’re experiencing the problem. We may need to work together to shift self-criticism and judgment to curiosity and compassion so that you can mobilize your inner strengths.

Dealing with anxiety or depression can be very distressing. In those moments or times, our priority becomes finding relief. However, the bigger picture is that we must focus on learning the tools that shift our mood and create an emotionally more fulfilling lifestyle. Think about the times when you felt completely confident and happy. It is very unlikely you felt any emotional discomfort. An elevated and confident emotional state will banish emotional distress. It is the antidote. Why? Anxiety and depression, which result from fear and doubt, have no place when confidence and optimism take hold.
