Welcome

I am a highly-experienced psychologist, who was based in the Financial District for many years but now practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.  A graduate of Columbia University, I work with adults, older adolescents, families and couples.  My approach is practical and strength-based, helping people develop the skills to effectively address immediate concerns, as well as long-standing problems.  My areas of expertise include the treatment of depression and anxiety, overcoming trauma, entering and maintaining romantic relationships and managing family dynamics.  I have additional expertise in helping people manage their careers and find work/life balance. 

My approach is integrative and, while we will look at your history to understand how it affects your personal and professional relationships, we will incorporate cognitive behavioral approaches as needed.  I have trained in several modalities of Couples Therapy and use systemic thinking even with individual clients to understand one's dynamic within the couple, family or work system.

The fact that you are on this website, suggests that you are taking the first step to feel better. It takes courage to change; it means tolerating some anxiety to let go of what was and to embrace what is. Find the therapist who is the ideal fit for you. I wish you the best on this worthwhile journey.
