Your Trusted NYC Therapist for Personalized Mental Health Support
As a licensed clinical psychotherapist with over two decades of experience in Manhattan, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges through an integrative approach combining psychodynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive behavioral therapies. My practice focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore emotional struggles, trauma, and relationship issues. With specialized expertise in LGBTQ counseling and mindfulness-based techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to develop self-awareness, build coping strategies, and rediscover their innate self-healing abilities.My background includes guest lecturing at John Jay College, extensive training in modern psychoanalysis, and experience working with high-profile clients from diverse professional backgrounds. I maintain active memberships in leading psychoanalytic organizations and continually refine my practice through ongoing research and professional development.
