About Us

People often seek therapy at a point where life feels too stressful or off-kilter. This point might emerge gradually or occur in the face of acute problems, stressors or losses that feel overwhelming. Effective therapy requires commitment and engagement on both the part of the therapist and patient and often involves exploring parts of oneself and one’s life that feel elusive or painful. The pursuit of change and growth can take time, however there is a remarkable payoff to effective treatment, which can include greater freedom and satisfaction in the areas of love and intimacy, family and relationships, creativity and work. , I am a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst and I provide treatment for adults, adolescents, and couples. I have experience working with individuals across the life span who present with a wide range of difficulties, including everyday job and life stress, anxiety and depression, relationship problems and substance abuse, and characterological problems. , I have graduate degrees from the University of Chicago and The Derner Institute of Psychological Studies at Adelphi and completed psychoanalytic training at Columbia University where I am also on the faculty. I tailor treatment to each individual that I am working with depending on your needs and my recommendations.
