I am a bi-lingual psychotherapist with over 37 years of experience in treating adults, children, families and couples suffering from depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, relationship and parenting issues, trauma, and Complex PTSD.
Are you stuck or blocked, feeling chronic shame, anger, fear or sadness? Do you keep repeating behavioral or interpersonal patterns that are self-sabotaging and keep you from having self-confidence and successful relationships? Do you find yourself taken over by sudden bursts of anger or fear, crying spells etc in reaction to even small perceived hurts? Do you frequently feel lonely but anxious in the presence of others? Do you often sacrifice your own needs in order to be liked, or loved, and then collect resentment in relationships? Are you disconnected from your inner source of self-esteem, joy and strength?
​
By first employing a developmental lens, we can move from a compassionate understanding of your pain, as it is manifested in your life, to learning and reinforcing psychological, and behavioral skills that will result in a lasting sense of well-being.
My approach to psychotherapy is a collaborative and integrative process, in which we quickly identify sources of distress and work together on effective treatment solutions, that are designed to instill a renewed sense of hope, energy, and self-empowerment.

Call me at 646-320-9910 if you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment.

just as I am, then I can change"
