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.

I work with clients who are struggling to get out of their own way and continue to repeat undesired patterns. These issues can present as continuing to choose emotionally unavailable partners ("toxic" partners), and yet get frustrated things are not working out and internalize it as something is wrong with them, or individuals/couples that have read every books they could find, yet the change they implement is often temporary and ultimately they return to old unhealthy behaviors and emotions. I help clients reach their goal of identifying and aligning with their values to live an empowered life filled with self-trust and love.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

Do you sometimes feel misunderstood or judged because you don't have mainstream beliefs or a cookie-cutter lifestyle? Have you hesitated going to therapy (even though a part of you would like to get a second opinion about issues that keep cropping up), because you thought the person wouldn't "get" you? Well, maybe I'm the right therapist for you. I came to NYC 1984 to see bands and explore art and then bartended in the E. Village for many years before becoming a therapist. I refuse to be pigeonholed so I won't do that with you.

People often come to psychotherapy after long-term frustrations, when they feel overwhelmed by a lack of possibility, in times of emotional pain, and when in a crisis. These feelings are addressed through a psychotherapeutic process in which people articulate aspects of experience they would not otherwise have a chance to explore. Through this process they not only make sense of symptoms and other forms of relational suffering, but foster increased freedom, creativity, and purpose.
