Approach

Therapy helps us identify patterns to avoid old setbacks and make choices that are aligned with our true wants, needs, and values. We do this by examining a range of variables, including: symptoms, behavior patterns, relationship and family dynamics, aspirations, and apprehensions. Heightened awareness leads to a more empowered understanding of ourselves and others, which helps us live up to our full potential - becoming better friends, more confident parents, more stable partners and more productive, fulfilled members of society.  

In-Person Sessions

Sessions are 45 minutes and usually occur weekly or bi-weekly in my Manhattan or Brooklyn office.  My Manhattan office is located at Alma. My Brooklyn office is in Carroll Gardens, one block from the Carroll St F/G.

Walking Sessions

In warm months, I offer walking sessions in Washington Square Park and Central Park, which may appeal to clients with physical activity goals or preferences. We'll stroll at a pace determined by the client; 45 minutes per session. 

Virtual Sessions

Video and phone sessions are also available.

This is the APA definition of psychodynamic therapy. The idea is to use the past to better understand the present - and empower ourselves in facing the future. This means a lot of “tell me about your mom/dad/primary caregiver” and “
Some highlights from this morning’s wonderful conversation with multi-talented ( 🎷🎸 🛼 ) @priscilatnd. We talked about “fear of falling” and how safety gear can actually be viewed as a metaphor for being vulnerable in #therapy! W
I really wanted to feature roller-skaters in @byrdie after noticing the increased social media visibility of roller-skating (and other hobbies) throughout the pandemic. As a novice skater myself, I know how much fun the activity is. More importantly,
