About

A person or a couple seeking therapy deserves tremendous respect. Whether you are trying therapy for the first time, resuming treatment, or looking for a better fit, you are taking steps towards positive change. I believe that therapy is a place of growth where the human connection with your therapist, empathy, and unconditional acceptance are balanced with a challenge. Both are necessary to gain a new perspective, overcome internal barriers, and experience new, healthier, and more fulfilling ways of being. Years of experience and advanced post-graduate training I received make me believe in couples' and individuals' potential to grow and heal. I view our work as an interesting, energizing process that helps you better understand yourself and others, have healthy relationships, enhance your ability to cope with stress, and ultimately become a happier person. Our work would recognize the uniqueness of your circumstances and your personality. My approach to treatment is relational psychodynamic. For appropriate patients interested in developing deeper insight I also offer psychoanalysis. In addition to insight-oriented work targeted at exploring conflicting feelings, wishes, and other sources of feeling “stuck”, I integrate principles of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help patients who struggle with impulsivity, emotion regulation, and dealing with various relationship and life stressors. I work both with individuals and couples. I specialize in depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship issues, substance abuse, and infertility.
