My Approach to Helping

I am a psychotherapist and counselor with a practice in New York City and Sag Harbor, NY. What differentiates me from most psychotherapists is that I view "neurosis" as the whole organism's natural response to developmental stress on the path to maturation, rather than as pathology. We label people "neurotic," when it's not a medical illness they are suffering from, but spiritual immaturity. Neurosis is the natural unfolding of human maturation. I want to return psychology to the study of the unfolding psyche in all it's beauty and complexity.

I see my clients as already, fundamentally perfect and my practice aims first at the completion of childhood issues and then to facilitate the further awakening and the successful unfolding of your true self, the self you were at birth; the self that's there in between your thoughts.

More Info About My Practice

I use innovative methods drawn from yoga and other humanistic, transpersonal and eastern traditions. I'm particularly helpful with couples, existential/midlife crisis, and resistance to change.

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

I've worked with many people who are interested in psychedelics and visionary plants. I do NOT use psychedelics in my practice, but my background and training makes me able to understand the spiritual emergency experienced by most psychedelic users seeking help.
