You must be ready for change. Congratulations for taking the first step and welcome to my website.

Living in New York City provides us with great opportunities for work, pleasure and interesting relationships, yet at the same time, can feel pressured and stressful.  In these moments, we all experience emotional difficulties.

Even if we feel we are successful in many ways, often times we recognize that we could be happier, healthier, or just know ourselves better.  Many of us reach a point in our life where our ways of dealing with things are no longer working and we need new approaches, advanced skills to make the changes we want. Happily,  neuroscience provides ample evidence that our brains are resilient and “wired” for change. Psychotherapy is an effective tool for that change.

Some of the issues that I have helped New Yorkers with are:

Depression
Anxiety
Relationship and Family Issues
Work and job related problems
Couples and marriage counseling
Teenager and adolescent Issues

• You may feel that you can relate to one of the above issues or maybe it is something different.  Some people come in because they feel that they have a life that looks good on the outside, but doesn’t feel quite right on the inside.  They feel stuck  but don’t understand why. Whatever it is, as an experienced psychotherapist,  I can help you handle your issues more effectively , explore and change negative patterns and feel optimistic about your life. 

  Psychotherapy is a collaborative process.  I like to listen but I also actively participate in a non judgmental way. People ask me “well what is your style of working?” My “style” is to help you face your challenges with insight, warmth and humor.  My office feels comfortable and safe. If you think that coming to therapy means you are “crazy” or “weak”, the opposite is true. Acknowledging that you need some guidance and support is a sign of strength. When someone tells me they leave my office feeling “lighter” and more energized, I know our work together is going well.

  How do you even begin to choose the right professional to talk to?  One way is to take a moment and read through my website to learn more about me, my practice and how psychotherapy works. Please call me so we can talk about getting  started. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  My office is conveniently located on the upper west side of Manhattan.
