Introduction: I am a licensed, experienced, and empathic therapist, in a full-time private practice since 1992. I work very well with people who feel isolated, excluded or lonely, even if they have loved ones around them. I am particularly sensitive to individuals who find it hard to ask for help and who may have issues of guilt and/or shame about current or past behaviors.
In working with addictive behaviors, I am committed to life-long changes through co-creating daily tools for success. I have extensive experience in working with Adult Children Of Alcoholics.
In the area of sports, I am an experienced athlete and am effective in helping people through the emotional aspects involved in recovering from injuries. I played sports in high school and college and I taught physical education at Stern College, as I was building my psychotherapy practice. Currently, I embrace many indoor and outdoor physical activities and I have personal experience with both sports successes and injury-related setbacks.
My therapeutic style is interpersonal, experiential, and behavioral. I help clients to enhance their self-understanding and self-esteem by recognizing and healing old and current wounds.
I have two office locations: NYC and Westchester. Currently, I am not on any insurance panels. Payment is made to me directly. If you have PPO insurance they may reimburse you. If you are eligible for reimbursement, I will feel out the paperwork needed.
I enjoy helping clients increase their self-acceptance, their ability to live in the present moment, and their capacity to work, love and enjoy life.
