Experienced individual and couples therapist. Often times, people find that they experience unhappiness, anxiety, or repeated obstacles to getting what they want in relationships, work, or other areas of our lives. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with what the "universe" throws your way, and which of your own behaviors and conflicts are contributing to your unhappiness. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to live more consciously and deliberately. I teach and practice psychoanalysis.

Searching for the right therapist is sort of like dating. In order to find the right fit, you may need to search around in order to get a feel for who is out there. I believe the power of therapy evolves from a non-judgmental space where people can finally experience, not only feeling seen and heard, but eventually, accepted and understood. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of New York City. I earned a BA in Psychology and Criminal Justice from the University of Michigan and a Masters of Social Work from New York University and hold a specialization in Trauma Studies from the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapy.

If you are thinking about starting therapy, you may be struggling with a loss or a life transition; feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just not yourself. In reaching out to begin therapy, you are demonstrating a drive towards healing and growth. In therapy we will tune into that drive to help you access feelings of vitality, wholeness and clarity.

As a therapist, I view the process as a partnership (collaboration) between the client and myself to establish the most appropriate and effective form of treatment. My approach to therapy is an eclectic one. There is no one size fits all. As the client and I begin to work together the most effective treatment modality will reveal its self and will guide the treatment planning process.

My approach to therapy is geared towards both developing insight as well as finding ways to promote healing and growth. In session, we often work to develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the patterns that permeate our lives. Depending on your goals, we may also incorporate mindfulness or other somatic practices to help promote nervous system regulation. Therefore, sessions can flexibly move between exploratory, experiential, or solution-focused.

Sometimes life can be stressful and overwhelming leaving you feeling as if you are trying to climb out of a hole or as if you are continuously running with no destination. Therapy can help you make changes in your life by helping with achieving goals, and modifying your overall perspective and the way you manage the stressors that you face. Deciding to embark on the therapeutic journey is not an easy decision but the first step in achieving change. I specialize in working with adults that are struggling with transitional issues including changes professionally, in family, as well as yearns to resolve voids in their romantic life.

We all have times where we hit roadblocks that get in the way of finding balance and peace in our work, our relationships and our health. These experiences may distort the perceptions we have of ourselves; bringing up feelings of fear, frustration, loneliness and burnout. Through exploration and introspection, we can identify your obstacles and develop realistic tools to manage stressful circumstances, allowing you to create the life you want.

You can then make the changes you need to make to experience fulfillment with yourself and within relationships.

Although you might come to therapy seeking help with your vulnerabilities, I believe you possess the strengths to develop healthy relationships with yourself and others and to change your life. Whether you come to therapy during an acute crisis, have reached a crossroads, or need to process and reflect on a layer of your life, therapy can be a powerful, supportive exploration. If you are seeking a better understanding or to change how you feel related to others, the meaning of important or painful moments in your life, or to develop insight into your life patterns, therapy can be a transformative tool for you.

Everyone inevitably feels down, anxious, or unmotivated. We struggle with family obligations, identity, relationships, career choices, or just life in general. We may not even be aware of the impact stress has on us. Factor all that in the context of time, money, and societal norms, and we may experience ennui or question our life choices. I want to help people grow and live life in a way that's less challenging, more satisfying, and well-balanced. I collaborate with people to overcome barriers to success, realize and effectively utilize their individual strengths and creativity, and ultimately embrace their own sense of humanity.

Navigating the world can be tough when you consistently try to please others, have difficulty making decisions, or fear speaking your mind. I work with individuals who are often marginalized, and exhausted by their unhealthy relationships with self and others. Often when we attempt to live differently, negative emotions will kick in that cause us to cling to our old ways. I know all too well how difficult it is to feel overwhelmed or trapped by your circumstances. Together we'll push back on negative self talk, poor boundaries, self sabotage, and other unhelpful patterns that may be limiting life choices.
