Great to meet you!

"After 30 fabulous years working with professionals in the heart of Manhattan, my focus remains on the deep-rooted relationships I’ve built since the start of my career. I continue to accept a limited number of referrals that specifically match my niche specialties."

My approach to therapy

"By recognizing and building upon your personal strengths, we aim for both the relief of current symptoms and the meaningful, long-term transformation that allows you to truly thrive."

What you can expect from me

Our first session serves as a refined (re)acquainting—a time to identify the catalyst for your personal or professional transformation. I offer an integrative approach, drawing from an extensive clinical toolbox built over three decades. By blending deep psychodynamic underpinnings with cognitive behavioral strategies and radical acceptance, I honor your unique strengths to facilitate immediate relief and meaningful, long-term evolution."
