I received my masters degree in social work from New York University in 1987. I practice psychotherapy with a combined perspective of psychodynamic, insight-oriented and cognitive/behavioral techniques to work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families. I see psychotherapy as a means to explore the connections between past and present relationships, experiences, and emotional states, for the purpose of creating life changes. I focus upon the relationship between therapist and client as the catalyst for this self-awareness and growth, creating the foundation for addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, life transitions, attachment issues, and parenting concerns. I have specialized training and expertise in working with the older adult population, helping to explore the particular developmental, emotional, and physical issues pertinent to that life phase. In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I provide clinical consultation for licensed therapists and for those working towards licensure. Believing that confidentiality is a crucial elements in the psychotherapeutic process, I choose not to participate directly with private insurance companies. I will provide documentation for those who choose to coordinate with their insurance for out of network benefits. I do participate directly with Medicare and Medicaid.
