MY FOCUS:
A PLACE TO BE UNDERSTOOD
I find psychotherapy to be most effective as a means to help clarify your feelings and thoughts to understand yourself better. It’s a space to reflect, consider choices, and create direction. My non-judgmental approach combines Positive Psychology & CBT to help you to develop greater resiliency and a mindset more empowered and attuned.
In addition to my work as a psychotherapist, I have worked with students for over 20 years as a high school teacher, coach, and for the last 11 years, as a writing professor at NYU. My warm, curious, and attentive style helps to cultivate an atmosphere of trust and and insight. Over a free phone consultation, let’s discover if we are a good fit.
MY ADDITIONAL WORK:
Intensive Short-Term Therapy
I offer short term intensive therapy for people who may have time-sensitive issues. These may include families or partners preparing for post-inpatient treatment of a loved one, divorce, family estrangement, a child in peril, and couples planning for marriage.
Unlike more conventional weekly therapy, these situations may involve more comprehensive approaches and sessions are not restricted by the typical time format. I offer a free consultation prior to engaging in short-term intensive therapy with a goal of helping you address your circumstances in the healthiest and most productive manner possible.
