Areas of Expertise

“Repeating negative patterns, such as continuing to find yourself in unfulfilling relationships, or always feeling guilty; trauma, such as that resulting from childhood abuse or neglect; addiction/substance misuse; anger issues; depression; anxiety.”

Approach to Therapy

“I believe that we all create protective mechanisms to get through childhood. Often, we unconsciously continue to employ these mechanisms as adults and not only are they no longer helpful, they can actually be what’s getting in the way of achieving healthy relationships and thriving at work. Therefore, I spend time connecting past with present, helping you become more accepting and compassionate towards yourself, and helping the traumatized parts of yourself catch up to the here and now. This results in more clarity and increased ability to connect with and trust your instincts, which naturally promotes healing.”

Interest in TherapySafetyNet

“I currently work in community mental health clinics providing psychotherapy to low- or no-income individuals, as I have throughout my career (presently part-time). I am strongly committed to the idea that ALL people can be helped by psychotherapy and deserve to be welcomed with respect and mutuality.”

Areas of Expertise

“I have been particularly successful in working with individuals in academia (both students and faculty) and those in creative fields. Most patients enter my office with symptoms of anxiety, depression, impulsive behaviors (including substance use), interpersonal difficulties, or simply to derive greater satisfaction from their lives. My intensive three year training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy has helped me to forge long term relationships with my patients as a means to achieving and sustaining therapeutic gains. My clients represent a wide range of cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations and I work with those age 18 and older as individuals and couples.”

Approach to Therapy

“I provide a comfortable space in which to explore both the long-standing and newly developed difficulties you are experiencing. I bring to my work a strong appreciation for both the ordinary and extraordinary struggles encountered across the life cycle.”

Interest in TherapySafetyNet

“I believe that everyone should have access to high quality mental health care regardless of their employment or financial status. As such, I devote a portion of my practice to working with individuals who find themselves with reduced means. It is often this subset of people who are most motivated for and in need of treatment.”

Areas of Expertise

“My approach is warm and relaxed. I utilize multiple theories depending on what will best suit the client’s need. I believe a client must feel they are safe and supported in order to begin making changes and moving forward. It is important that a client feel heard, understood and not judged.”

Approach to Therapy

“I believe strongly that each human being has the right to the availability of professional, high quality mental health care. I understand that regardless of the reasons, many people fall through the cracks where mental health coverage is concerned and live with issues that could be resolved if the proper care were available to them. As a mental health professional I consider it my responsibility to offer my services to all people, not only those fortunate enough to have insurance or to those able to pay the customary New York City rates for psychotherapy.”
