Find A Psychologist in New York City, NY.

My approach is mainly psychodynamic and psychoanalytic. Treatment is focused on your goals, which we will clarify. Afterwards, we will diagnose what internal factors are preventing you from achieving peak relational, work success and innovation in your life. I work with couples, relationships, addiction, anxiety and work/career. It is often most difficult to focus on the things that we aren't fully aware of or don't like about ourselves - although if we can do that, change is possible. I work very hard for my patients and look forward to dreaming your big dreams with you.

Trainees also gain supervised experience working with diverse populations in various clinical settings.

I am problem focused. I help you identify specific emotions you would like to reduce (depression, anger, anxiety or shame) or feelings you want to have more often (satisfaction, confidence, joy). We target behaviors you want to increase or decrease, and situations and people you would like to handle more effectively. I show you how your beliefs about the problems you face largely determine your emotional upset and your self-defeating behavior. Together we modify your beliefs. This allows you to effectively handle difficult situations, perform the way you would like and attain your personal goals. Your thinking about the past, present and future determines how you feel and function.
