Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in both New York and New Jersey as well as a licensed psychoanalyst in New York State. My treatment approach is collaborative and insight-oriented. Together with my clients, we identify dysfunctional behaviors and create emotionally healthy and sustainable alternatives.

A bit about my approach to therapy

The therapeutic process is interactive and outcome-driven as it is my belief that psychotherapy should be focused on a commitment to positive change sooner rather than later.

What you can expect from our first session

In the process of treatment, the client and therapist collaborate on identifying problem areas which result in dysfunctional outcomes in the client's life. Patterns are then identified and insights into current problematic outcomes are explored. Once an understanding of these dynamics is achieved, together we develop goals to change behavior(s) and create new, healthy patterns that are sustainable.
