My practice exists at a unique intersection: the deep, reflective methodology of psychoanalysis paired with a rigorous PhD in Business Administration and Organizational Psychology. This dual lens allows us to explore not only your internal world but also the complex external environments that shape your daily life. I engage with the whole of who you are—your thoughts, emotions, history, and hopes for the future. It’s deeply meaningful to walk alongside my clients as they grow, change, and achieve both personal and professional goals. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. My approach is grounded in clinical expertise, broad life experience, and a practical understanding of the challenges you face. My hope is that we can work together to better understand your story and move your life forward in meaningful new ways.

As a licensed psychoanalyst, I help individuals and couples navigate the complexities of loss and emotional pain. My practice is grounded in a relational approach—exploring how past experiences shape your current inner world, your relationships, and your sense of self. My core principles: Deep Listening: Understanding how your past and your losses live on inside you. Trauma-Informed Care: A sensitive, collaborative process that respects how trauma impacts your mind, body, and connections. Together, we can give voice to what has been silenced and help you move forward in a way that feels authentic and safe. In our work together, we will find space to process overwhelming or "stuck" grief, make sense of isolating emotional pain, and reconnect with inner strength and vitality. Therapy is a shared journey. We will work to transform what feels heavy or unspeakable into a clear path toward healing. My goal is to help you navigate these complexities in a way that feels collaborative, grounded, and safe.

Things don't always go the way we think they will. We might lose something, or someone, that means a lot to us. We might find it difficult to understand why we're behaving differently. Or it might be an unfamiliar feeling that we just can't seem to shake off. Sometimes, we need a bit of held to understand what's going on, and that's where MINDWORK comes in. When you visit MINDWORK you and I will spend some time each week increasing your self- awareness and helping you gain more insight into your inner-life. We'll work together so you can get more out of every day and meet any challenge life throws at you.

All of us struggle with barriers that inhibit our ability to expand in the world of work or relationships, experience vitality and creativity. These barriers are experienced as symptoms, for example: anxiety, depression, anger, dissociation, low mood and low self-esteem, negative thinking, interpersonal difficulties and self-defeating patterns. I have 20 years of clinical experience and a kind, patient and professional demeanor. With incisive, cogent exploration, support and some humor, I can help you come to better terms with and move beyond barriers.

I am an experienced family therapist. I work with married and unmarried couples, with families, and do individual work with adults. My experience is that when working with children and teenagers around the whole variety of issues that bring them into treatment, it is quicker and more effective to work with the whole family together than to work with the child alone. For children their families are central and shifts in the family impact on children and adolescents in a powerful way that therapists working alone cannot match. I also work with families where issues have arisen between adult parents and children and between adult siblings. I also have found hypnotherapy to be a useful tool particularly in helping people to deal with issues of anxiety and depression. As a family therapist I am always attentive tho the importance of the significant relationships in our lives. I am attentive to the patterns that develop in families and couples and how those become stuck, and how to help people change them. I also try and pay attention to the positive aspects of people's lives, their strengths and resources and how to enhance those. Often, in difficult circumstances attention becomes over focused on problems and strengths get ignored. Families can create problems but they are also a source of healing. My office is in midtown Manhattan. I do have some evening hours. I have a sliding scale. For people who are unsure about starting therapy, or wish to meet with me before making a decision, I am happy to set up a free meeting to talk with them.

For parents: My approach is to understand the world as the child understands it and to separate the child from the problem.

We need to feel understood, safe, and supported to create life-long change, and in my practice I work to establish a respectful and warm relationship where this growth and development can occur. I believe each person is capable of tremendous change and view giving the gift of therapy as an honor. I find by exploring both the past and the present, clients are better able to recognize life patterns which may be affecting their relationships, career, and overall mental health. However, I also believe each person is unique and do not utilize a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Rather, I work with clients in a collaborative manner, and together we establish the direction and pace of our work. I work with individuals and couples from a variety of cultural, ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Overall, I think you will find my approach open, flexible, affirming, and engaging. Clients usually begin sessions with a variety of concerns such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, or problems with romantic and personal relationships. I also work with clients on issues of trauma and past abuse, body image and eating disorders, LGBTQI issues, and women's issues.

If you can’t seem to make things work for you, and you want to talk to someone about how to change that, I can help. My job is to provide you with insight into how you get in your way of getting the things you want in life, so you can make changes that will serve you better than the same old same old way of doing things that keeps you stuck in patterns with undesirable outcomes. No doubt about it, change is hard. You’ve been who you are for a long time, and are used to navigating our difficult world in a particular way. The problem is, it just isn’t working. So it’s not surprising that you’re confused, conflicted, anxious or depressed. I have a flexible approach to working with people, since one size does not fit all. My twelve years of training and over a quarter century’s worth of experience working with people has paid off. I’ve learned to listen in a non-judgmental way, and to help you feel safe in revealing your fears, feelings and thoughts, all in your own time, at your own pace. There may be things you want to change about yourself, and other things you want to keep. You get to make all the decisions about who you are and want to be. I’m here to point out what might work better for you, but not to tell you what to do. There’s no magic that can turn things around instantly, but if you’re committed to the process you can make significant strides in a reasonable period of time. I invite you to come in for a no-obligation consultation to see if you feel comfortable talking with me about what in your life is not how you want it to be. If you choose not to continue with me, there's no charge for the consultation.

Do past beliefs and negative patterns hold you back from living life fully? If so, you need to know that HEALING and CHANGE are always possible. IT IS NEVER TOO LATE. Successful clients want to change and are committed to the emotional work necessary to achieve their goals. This takes courage...and if you are resonating with this, you have already taken the first step. I work with individuals, families and couples. My areas of expertise include: PTSD/trauma anxiety and phobias depression adults who were wounded as children relationship issues identity and life crises creativity blocks life goals related to aging ...and breaking negative patterns (be they personal, romantic, platonic, familial or professional) Treatment goals are collaboratively identified and are adjusted based on changing client needs and desires. Often, no single treatment technique is sufficient in helping clients achieve both the intellectual insight and emotional understanding needed for lasting change. Among the therapeutic techniques I offer, alone or in combination, are SENSORIMOTOR PSYCHOTHERAPY, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, EMDR, Short-Term Solution Focused Psychotherapy, Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapy, and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy.. i have trained with some of the leading experts in the field of Psychotherapy. But the MOST IMPORTANT thing that I bring to my clients' healing process isn't what I know. IT'S WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

I firmly believe that we as human beings grow in relationships as an empathic and attuned other bears witness to our struggles; my role is to provide a safe environment and a skilled ear in which you are able to become better acquainted with yourself: your thinking, behavior, and feelings so that you can ultimately live a more fulfilled life. For some this means a few months of work and for others a few years. My approach is integrative, collaborative, and informed by my training in depth psychology. Many have described me as gentle, empathic, and non-judgmental. I work with you to illuminate and build on your strengths and empower you to conquer negative patterns so you have greater emotional and overall psychological freedom. Our work takes a commitment from both you and I as we travel together on a journey to help you understand more about yourself and make the changes you desire in your life. My experience is that when we are able to make internal change we are then able to take the next step and make external change. Whether it be depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems or any other struggles, you don't have to do it alone. Give me a call and lets take the next step together.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy practices and technique. Cognitive Therapy lends itself well to all psychological disorders, including challenges associated with problematic styles of personality and mood. Within that framework, I incorporate schema based methods, guiding clients in the discovery and understanding of how core beliefs are developed and influence day ­to ­day decisions, behaviors and reactions. Mindfulness skills are taught, encouraging self- awareness, self­ acceptance and emotional balance. My goal is to teach you what I've learned, arming you with the skills needed for effective functioning and overall well being. Sessions are organized, collaborative and solution focused. Through guided discovery you'll identify patterns of thought and how those patterns influence emotions and behaviors. Modifying dysfunctional thinking is a first step towards improvement. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders; panic, OCD, phobias, generalized anxiety and more. Working with diverse populations and age groups, listening for what's said and unsaid, can lead to a rich, warm, and highly productive, working relationship.

You might be seeking therapy to get past long-standing anxiety, depression, trauma or other emotional hurdles. As a therapist who offers psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy, I work to help you uncover the unconscious conflicts that drive these painful feelings and are the barrier to lasting progress. These unconscious patterns often can affect your relationships, cause physical pain, unwanted dependencies, loneliness, insomnia, phobia, career dissatisfaction and rage. Together, we can bravely and safely explore the different parts of who you are, bringing to light desires and fears that underly the pain you have been experiencing. Our work can help you move forward to accept all parts of yourself and find new ways of being, producing long-lasting change so you can find your own unique and fulfilling way to live your life. It is important that you find someone with whom you are comfortable to do this work. I invite you to schedule an initial consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for each other.

My specialty is work with writers, visual artists, and other creative professionals. My goal is for clients to feel comfortable talking about whatever is on their mind, in an environment that feels warm, genuine, caring, and spontaneous. During sessions, I listen intently as clients speak and ask questions that are illuminating. Together, we explore the past’s influence upon the present, and how each person’s individual psychology colors the way they see the world. My training in psychodynamic psychotherapy has proven to be effective in this regard. I successfully help people struggling with depression, anxiety, and/or problems with self-esteem. Other times, people come to me because they suspect they have a role in ‘what is' but can’t put a finger on how, and what to do to make things better. Psychological healing and growth can lead to all sorts of positive changes, not just relief from emotional pain. Ideally, relationships with important others improve, and vocations and avocations become a source of maximum fulfillment. I devote myself 100% towards this end for every person I see.

My specialties include: * Living with physical illness * Counseling the loved ones of people with illness * Couples/relationship therapy * Parenting issues As a therapist, my priority is to customize treatments for the individual and not force clients to conform to predetermined methods. I provide individual, couples, and group therapy, and if appropriate, can offer a combination of these modalities. Above all, I value the creativity and growth potential of every human being. I believe that change is possible no matter how entrenched one may be in a given situation. I accept Aetna and Medicare.
