My Approach to Helping

As a therapist, my expertise is in helping successful, high-functioning individuals resolve blocks in creativity and performance and gain insight into destructive, self-defeating life patterns. My therapy style is creative and focuses on problem solving, conflicts, self awareness, managing stress/emotions and effective communication. I help clients who feel "stuck" in many aspects of their lives work through blocks, as well as self-esteem and relationship problems that interfere with happiness and achievement. I provide both consultations and psychotherapy in my practice working with adolescents, adults and couples in long-term therapy or crisis treatment.

I am an advanced EMDR therapist and have expertise helping adolescents and adults work through trauma, abuse, phobias, obsessions, compulsions, anxiety, depression, addictions, stress and performance problems, infidelity and sexual difficulties. The EMDR protocol is powerfully effective for enhancing peak performance for performers, artists, business leaders, public speakers and professional athletes as well as others who are motivated to reach goals beyond their present competency.

Depending on client needs and goals, I blend psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR, CBT and stress management techniques in an individualized approach.

More Info About My Practice

I have two convenient locations in Manhattan on the Upper East Side and Gramercy Park near Union Square. Major subways and convenient for NYU students. I welcome questions by phone or email regarding a consultation.

Session fee range is $160 for psychotherapy and $175-$225 for EMDR and couples therapy. I do not accept insurance, however my clients receive out of network reimbursement for their sessions with me. If you are unsure, contact your insurance company to find out what mental health benefits your plan covers.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

It is my belief that insight and awareness does not always lead to desired change in behaviors. Therefore, it is important to address blocking beliefs and any obstacles that interfere with growth and change. My EMDR therapy training, emotion regulation and mindfulness training allows me to use a flexible approach with clients as needed.
