My approach to treatment is guided by my psychoanalytic training with adults and adolescents.
As a psychotherapist, I provide a safe environment for reflection where discovering and exploring fixed patterns that hinder you from realizing goals can lead to awareness. We all have parts of ourselves that we do not understand and feel that we cannot change, often leaving us feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Telling your story and gaining deeper understanding of yourself can have transforming effects on your life. I work with patients facing problems in love, work, family, school, issues with self-esteem, identity, and trauma. My analytic training makes me a skilled and empathic listener, helping to identify themes that lead to insights and more choices.

I have extensive expertise in a wide range of therapeutic modalities, beginning with 35 years experience in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and more than 20 years in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).
I am a bi-lingual psychotherapist with more than 30 years experience treating adults, children, families and couples suffering from depression, anxiety, relationships issues, parenting, trauma and eating disorders. Are you stuck or blocked, feeling shame, anger, fear, or sadness? Are you disconnected from your inner source of self-esteem, strength and joy? Are your moods driving your actions in your life, instead of your aspirations and goals? Do you find yourself unable to stop addictive, or impulsive behavior patterns? Perhaps it's time to ask yourself how long you can keep doing the same things, expecting different results.

Many people experience struggles around depression, anxiety, relationship issues or lack of meaning and direction in life. These difficulties often relate to a background of patterns of thinking/feeling that interfere with our ability to live life fully. Through careful listening and discussion we will seek to understand these patterns This sets the stage for recognition and development of new patterns of living that seek engagement, recognition and embodiment. I am a licensed psychologist, Jungian analyst, co-founder and faculty member of the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association.

I draw on psychoanalytic and trauma-focused theories.
People often feel alone with their problems. Your inner world can feel very different from how others see you. Privately you may feel sad, anxious or overwhelmed with life's challenges. You may be unhappy with how your life is going generally or with specific things about yourself or your relationships. Perhaps painful/traumatic experiences from your past are continuing to trouble you. Your feelings may lead to difficulty with intimacy, work, self-image, sleep, drugs/alcohol, eating, sex, or motivation. These are the kinds of problems I hear about often from people I see for psychotherapy. Together we can work to improve your life.

In practice I use a pragmatic, results-oriented approach and am not tethered to one particular psychoanalytic modality. Rather, recognizing each patient has unique needs, I draw from many therapeutic approaches that best fit each patient. In my practice, I can quickly assess which techniques will work best to meet each client's individual needs to show patients that they can have the right tools to reach their optimal comfort level in their careers, families, and relationships. The goal is bridging the gap and finding the most productive pathway between where clients are and where they want to be.

I am a clinical psychologist with twenty-five years of experience in the practice, supervision and teaching of psychotherapy in New York. I would say my approach is warm, supportive and flexible--responsive to the challenge a client faces. I have served on the medical faculty of two universities, including seventeen years at Columbia, and try to balance the benefits of evidenced-based treatment with the sensitivity of psychoanalytic and family approaches; I am certified in these last two areas. My goal is to help clients overcome obstacles to working and loving with greater pleasure and clarity.

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.
