Offering individual psychotherapy and group therapy

I offer individual psychotherapy, both in-person and virtually, at my office, located at 303 Fifth Avenue, to patients with a wide array of disorders, constructive factors, and backgrounds. Many patients feel comfortable confiding things in me that they normally never, or rarely, tell others. They reveal their minds and hearts to me and themselves which can be a relief. This is the holding environment that D.W. Winnicott describes.  

I help patients to understand their wish within their ambivalence and to improve perspective-taking.  I assist with problem-solving, self-regulation, social communication, mindfulness in navigating impulses, recognizing unwanted feelings, conflicts and self-states, in becoming free from toxic relationship/objects, believing in one's body that a trauma has truly concluded, exploring self-esteem, and dismantling self-attack.

I utilize interpersonal psychoanalysis, object relations, psychoanalytic technique, and elements of CBT and trauma therapy in response to your needs.

I believe that the purpose of psychotherapy is not only to alleviate and eliminate symptoms,  but also to enrich and clarify one's internal experience.   

I accept most major insurance, including Anthem (BCBS), Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare and Medicare with a sliding scale for out-of-pocket fees.
