I am a trained psychoanalyst and psychotherapist in practice for over twenty years with offices in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn and Chelsea. Among the problems I treat are anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career impasse, and patterns of self-defeating behavior.
Therapy involves a unique and personal relationship between patient and therapist. In therapy we work together to understand and resolve obstacles to change. We explore how past experiences inform and limit present perspectives. We deal with real, sometimes uncomfortable, feelings, not just intellectual insight.
The process of learning to listen to your innermost thoughts, feelings, and fantasies opens up capacities for creative problem-solving and for satisfying intimacy with others. When therapy is working, in addition to experiencing symptom improvement, individuals feel freer to live more authentic and gratifying lives.

I originally trained as a Creative Arts Therapist (music and movement) and worked in both in-patient and out-patient psychiatry at one of Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Community Mental Health centers and at Bronx Psychiatric Center. This work was supervised by MD and PhD clinicians all of whom were psychoanalysts. This experience led me to seek further mental health training (Clinical Social Work) and then psychoanalytic training. I have been in private practice as a psychoanalyst/therapist for over 20 years.

30 years extensive clinical experience in psychoanalysis, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and short-term crisis related therapy with adults presenting a wide range of concerns: transitioning, anxiety and depression, strain trauma, relationship conflicts both at work and at home, inhibitions in creativity, etc.
As a result of varied leadership positions in mental health, consultations are offered in executive, managerial,and organizational governance.

I have earned a rich tapestry of professional experience working with a diverse population from a broad spectrum of settings: Newark Public Housing( VISTA Community Organizer), Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, American Arbitration Association, and BRIDGES Employee Assistance Program.
Integrating this substantial tapestry with adult and child/adolescent analytic training has enabled me to:
be a more complete and empathic listener; to facilitate the creative "thinking through" process - even when the unbearable emerges; to engage others in the world of discovery about oneself.
I view our work as a collaborative process in a non judgmental and inspiring therapeutic setting.
