Life is hard. We all face seasons of winter, where a disruption leads to feelings of grief, loneliness, anger, or anxiety. Even desired change can trigger difficult emotional experiences and heightened stress. Our modern life is so crowded with demands that many of us feel overextended, under supported, and disconnected from ourselves and others. At times, it can be difficult to find meaning and purpose in our lives and relationships. Few of us were taught how to recognize and metabolize emotional experiences or how to navigate interpersonal difficulties. My goal is to create a space where you will feel heard and understood, but also challenged and empowered to explore your life and make lasting change. Together, we will work to identify and begin to challenge and modify interpersonal patterns, habits, and beliefs that that are keeping you stuck. I pull from different modalities to meet your needs. Sometimes, we might have an exploratory session to increase self awareness or self compassion. Other times, we might engage in active behavioral experiments or exposures. Through our work together, you will learn to build skill and confidence to manage life’s stressors. While individual goals vary, I aim to help my clients live more consciously with more clarity and a better understanding and acceptance of self.

Every individual is a compilation of their genetics, early learned behavior, primary identifications, patterning, and life experience. Psychotherapy is a guide to identifying and mapping these factors, appreciating the ones that serve well as well as learning to work with and restructure those that, born of dysfunction, continue to cause unhappiness and anxiety. Psychotherapy is a mutual process, where a therapist acts as pilot for navigating what is brought by the patient - the co-pilot. It is the patient's job to think about and gradually share their experiences and thoughts while it is the therapist's job to listen carefully, comment effectively, and guide the patient to a better understanding of the lines that have shaped them. Verbalization leads to consciousness, and the chance to choose alternate ways of coping with situations and relationships. Out of cognition comes actions which lead to character changes. These can help a person to better reach their life goal and personal fulfillment, be these goals relationship, career, familial, financial or spiritual.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years, working with individuals couples and families. I work with individuals and families dealing with a wide range of issues, and with both traditional and non traditional families. Who ever I am working with, I pay attention to the context of people's lives and the importance of the significant relationships in our lives. As a family and couple therapist I work with the ways our interaction patterns serve to promote healing, and the ways that those patterns help to maintain problems. In difficult times both individuals and families can become focused on their problems, and the more positive parts of our lives can become diminished. I think that one of the important tasks of therapy is to help people to focus on and utilize their strengths and resources

I'm a New York city-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I am also licensed in the state of California. I work with individual adults as they manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, marriage, relationship, and dating issues, aging and caregiving concerns, parenting, pregnancy, and career and life transitions. Therapy meets you where you are. Clients seek my help for many reasons. Whether you're struggling with a crisis, managing painful or difficult emotions, or just interested in learning more about yourself, therapy can help you explore who you are and what has shaped you. Examining your personal history helps you begin the discovery process. Sometimes we adopt roles based on old patterns that don't serve us any longer. I help my clients uncover the stories they've convinced themselves or true, or that others have told you. These stories often keep you stuck. Therapy helps you identify unconscious obstacles to achieving goals, enabling you to begin the healing process feeling authentic and happier. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds. I have over 20 years of experience working successfully with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety and who are experiencing problems in their relationships. I have expertise in working with individuals who have mentally ill family members, as well as caregivers; individuals coping with the pressure of caring for aging loved ones.

Hi, I'm glad you're here! I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-worth, and relationship issues, as well as chronic illness, and shifts in religious beliefs or identity. My approach is warm, flexible, and grounded in unconditional positive regard: in this space, you are accepted for exactly who you are. Sessions are unstructured and shaped by what feels most important in the moment, whether it's a current struggle or something rooted in your past. We'll go at your pace and explore what's getting in the way so you can move forward with more clarity, connection, and a stronger sense of who you are. I draw from psychodynamic, somatic, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) modalities, and incorporate dream work or parts work when helpful. My approach is collaborative (you know yourself the best, after all!) and relational. That means that in our sessions we attend not only to your life experiences but also to what unfolds between us, because those moments can give us insight into the dynamics of your relationships outside of therapy. I firmly believe we are all doing the best we can with the tools we have; there is no specific path or timeline we must follow. I invite you to bring your whole, imperfect self to the session, as I strive to do the same.

Therapy can help you to get to the roots of your issues, develop a better understanding of yourself and provide you with tools to more effectively manage your life. My role, as your therapist, is an objective and non-biased one. I will focus on listening to you, guiding you through a thorough exploration of yourself- past, present and future- and fostering insight. Your own insights will guide you to make decisions and take subsequent actions. Whatever the concern that leads you to therapy, rest assured that I will be deeply invested in supporting you through the process, freeing you to live the life you desire.

Some modalities I use in my work include, Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Focused, and Strength-Based Practices. During our work together, you will be able to express yourself in a non-judgmental space. We will collaborate to establish goals during the course of treatment, such as developing coping skills, gaining insight into feelings, and attaining an overall sense of wellness. I will guide you in the direction you want go and help you recognize your strengths and achievements; therefore, using them to foster your growth.
