The goal of my work with you is to support your development and help you to break free from painful patterns of living. I aim to establish a space in which you can feel safe and free to express your thoughts and feelings. I listen closely to you and share my questions, reactions and observations with you. We collaborate as we examine the complex meanings of your feelings, thoughts, memories, dreams, and relationships. Good psychotherapy will alleviate your personal suffering and increase your capacity for love, work, creativity, and aliveness.
I completed my predoctoral training at Columbia Medical Center, and my postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University Counseling and Center. I worked at five different university counseling centers during my training and career, last in the capacity of Assistant Director of the Counseling Center at Fordham University, Rose Hill Campus.
My training includes a variety of approaches such as psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, family and couples psychotherapy, and dissertation coaching. Areas of specialty are treatment of anxiety and depression, immigration, acculturation and identity, relationship problems and sexuality, work and creative inhibitions/blocks. My clientele comprises a diverse group of people of different ages, nationalities, ethnicities, sexual identities and orientations. I also see many undergraduate, graduate, and high school students.

Please note that I do not take insurance. I will be happy to assist you in submitting my bill to your insurance company. I suggest that we briefly speak on the phone before you come in so that I can answer basic questions you might have about my services and payment.
