Are you stuck in a cycle of anger, guilt, and shame that never seems to break — despite trying to manage it on your own? Have you tried anger classes or white-knuckling it, only to find yourself back in the same patterns? Struggling with anxiety that fuels the fire? I work with adults throughout via secure video or in person, with a particular passion for working with men — including those new to therapy who aren't sure what to expect. A licensed Psychologist and national authority on anger management, I bring 20+ years of experience helping people tame their anger and ease their anxiety. I specialize in men's therapy and offer individual therapy and couples counseling — with a direct, no-nonsense approach that gets to the root of your issues for real, lasting change. If you're exhausted from trying to manage your anger alone, you don't have to keep white-knuckling it. Whether you're new to therapy or have tried it before, I'll meet you where you are — with honesty, warmth, and no judgment. Let's talk and find out if we're a good fit to help you become a calmer, more grounded version of yourself. Although I help clients with many issues and goals, I am considered a national authority on anger management and anger therapy. I have over 20 years or experience, 7 years of specialized education, and intensive training in anger management, anxiety and other psychotherapy treatments.

On Course Psychological Counseling, P.C. is a group practice that is comprised of a multidisciplinary team of psychotherapists, including psychologists, marriage and family therapists, mental health counselors, social workers, and psychiatrists. We use an eclectic approach to treatment, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, supportive therapy, and insight-oriented therapy, to address each client's individual needs, tailor their goals for treatment, and reduce their symptoms.

When triggered by the right stressors, the genes we are born with can lead to anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations. And throughout life, we may experience abuse, neglect, loss, poverty, trauma and situations that make us feel “stuck.” Most stressors require support via therapy. Some respond better to medications. Whether it's ongoing therapy, medication, or a combination of the two, I will give you the evidence-based research. YOU will decide what's best for you.

My belief is that with support and opportunities for self-expression all of us can grow into happier, healthier, more balanced and connected individuals. I integrate mindfulness, meditation, and art-making with verbal therapy to provide clients with opportunities for increased self-awareness and self-compassion. My approach is holistic; believing that mind-body-spirit and past-present-future are inextricably linked. Therapy is a journey we embark on together with an attitude of compassion and curiosity.

My objective as a psychotherapist is to provide safe, comfortable and judgment-free environment for clients to work through issues. In addition, I provide warmth and flexibility in working with my clients. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, living with chronic medical conditions, self- esteem issues, relationship and career issues, among others. I work with adolescents and adults of all ages. People come into therapy to make changes in their lives, to reduce emotional pain or to get past "stuck" points, and resolve conflicts. I am there to help with the process. I believe that it is important to have a good match between therapist and client in order to make the therapeutic process effective, and I am also of the belief that the therapeutic relationship can contribute to the healing process. I primarily work psychodynamically, but I find that at times it is useful to include cognitive-behavioral techniques into the therapy, depending on the client's needs. Unresolved issues from the past can get in the way of attaining personal and professional growth. Psychotherapy can enhance one's self-awareness and the ability to recognize in one's own self-defeating and self-sabotaging patterns, and to change these patterns. Overall, I see my role as a psychotherapist is to respect the goals that my clients come in with, and support the process of working toward these goals.

It’s never been more important to learn how to self-regulate: to settle yourself down when you’re freaked out, to get yourself engaged when you’ve frozen. To cultivate your sense of coherence and capacity. I can help you do that in our sessions, and teach you how to get there yourself, when you’re facing these challenges on your own. And as so much of healing comes from relationships, both personal and in a professional healing ones, it is essential to build these connections. When we’re stuck in a threat response, it’s hard to reach out and feel others’ support. There are many challenges we are currently facing, and we don’t have to do it alone. Getting your system regulated and calm can help you better access the support that is here. Incorporating the body into the conversation of healing is an essential part of developing vitality and joy. The focus of my practice is to work directly with the physiology and with energetic systems, building health and slowly renegotiating how life challenges were managed. The modalities I use to guide this work are Somatic Experiencing, Polarity Therapy, Inner Relationship Focusing, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, AEDP, Reiki and Realization Process, supported by psychotherapy.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in challenges that seem to keep resurfacing? Maybe you're struggling in a relationship, weighed down by anxiety or stress, or feeling stuck in patterns you don't quite understand. You may recognize that something needs to change but feel unsure where to begin. Therapy can help you gain clarity, strengthen your relationships, and find a different way forward. I work with adults and couples navigating relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic illness, burnout, and major life transitions. You may be struggling with recurring conflict, communication difficulties, or emotional distance in your relationship. Perhaps you're navigating difficult family dynamics, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or a growing sense of dissatisfaction. Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to help you understand yourself better and develop healthier, more fulfilling ways to navigate your life and relationships. I believe therapy should reflect your unique experiences, needs, and goals rather than follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we'll explore the underlying factors contributing to your challenges, including how past experiences, relationships, and familiar patterns shape how you cope, communicate, and connect. Understanding these dynamics is important, but insight alone isn't always enough. We also focus on practical strategies for managing difficult emotions, strengthening boundaries, improving communication, and navigating conflict. The goal is meaningful, lasting change, not simply managing problems as they arise. My approach is integrative, relational, and trauma-informed, drawing from attachment-based therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other evidence-based approaches. With couples, I help partners recognize cycles of conflict and disconnection, understand each other's emotional needs, and navigate challenges around communication, intimacy, and trust. Whether you're hoping to rebuild emotional safety, strengthen your connection, or gain clarity about your relationship's future, we'll work toward healthier ways of relating. With individuals, we may explore how family dynamics, past experiences, and long-standing coping strategies contribute to current struggles. Our work can focus on strengthening self-awareness, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and your ability to navigate relationships and life transitions with greater confidence and flexibility. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over a decade of experience, I bring a warm, active, and collaborative style to sessions. I'm not simply a quiet observer; I actively engage in our conversations, offering thoughtful feedback, practical guidance, and gentle challenges when appropriate. I believe therapy works best when you feel understood and supported as you make meaningful changes. I'm licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut and offer primarily virtual sessions, with limited in-person availability one day a week in New York City. I'm currently accepting new individual and couples clients. You're welcome to schedule an initial session or arrange a complimentary 15-minute introductory call to ask questions and explore whether we'd be a good fit.

I help individuals process change - wanted or unwanted. Losses are important to recognize and acknowledge their importance. Some losses we experienced earlier this week, others happened to us while we were quite young. I'll educate to acknowledge the presence of emotions, monitor emotions, and the ability to listen to their important messages that will lead to growth and behavior that is beneficial! I've found I'm a great fit for the 20-something to 40-something man who isn't easily aware of his emotions and therefore may be experiencing shortcomings (or roadblocks) in his life. Clients who work in the Arts, Education, Finance, and Entrepreneurs find my style complimentary to their own strengths and perspectives.

Most clients tell me they feel comfortable with me almost immediately, often within the first phone call. I don’t rush you or sit behind emotional distance. I show up as a real person, warm, steady, curious, and without judgment, so you can finally stop carrying everything alone. My approach is conversational and grounded in real life. I help you slow your thoughts enough to separate fear from reality, soften the self-criticism that’s been running the show, and understand the experiences that shaped you. I gently challenge the patterns that keep you anxious or overwhelmed, but always in a way that feels supportive rather than intrusive. People often say therapy with me feels surprisingly natural, like speaking with someone who truly gets them.

Maybe you’re used to looking like you have it together, while internally you’re overthinking everything. You replay conversations, second-guess your decisions, worry about how others see you, or feel overwhelmed by emotions that are hard to shut off. You might be navigating relationship challenges, a major life transition, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure of what you actually want. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, and I work with young adults and adults who want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that keep showing up in their lives. Together, we’ll get curious about what’s underneath those patterns, not just focus on making the uncomfortable feelings go away. My approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I draw from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and other evidence-based approaches, while also making space for deeper exploration and meaningful change. Therapy with me is a place where you can show up as you are. I’ll meet you with compassion, ask thoughtful questions, gently challenge you when it’s helpful, , when appropriate, bring some humor into the room, too.
