The relationship between patient and therapist is essential. I focus on the here-and-now experience in therapy while taking into account your past experiences and relationships as we consider aspects of your life that are causing you pain. I listen to what is happening in your life and the surrounding world and will help you think about your feelings and experiences as we examine what may be interfering with you living the life you wish to lead.

I work responsively and nonjudgmentally, and I hope to create a trusting environment in which you feel safe to express your feelings, thoughts, and needs.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City and Dobbs Ferry, NY. I work with adults of all ages using psychoanalytic psychotherapy and relational psychoanalysis. Although I do not participate in insurance panels, my services are reimbursable by many health insurance companies.
