About My Clients
Too often we can feel our lives are slipping away from ourselves. We can get stuck repeating behaviors that feel natural but that result in the same old painful outcomes: dating the same type of partner, getting into the same arguments, struggling in the same way to feel a connection, feeling the same anxiety or ambient-sadness. I work with patients to understand and decalcify these patterns as well as the deep systems of meaning that sustain them.
My Background and Approach
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy; no one modality is fully adequate to address every concern in every circumstance therapists need to possess a facility with multiple clinical methodologies and engage with current research in the field. For that reason, my approach is fundamentally integrative: In addition to my clinical training at NYU, I have trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, applied behavioral analysis (ABA), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems, and trauma-informed care; I work with adolescents and adults, individuals, couples, and families; and continue to teach, attend conferences, and research and write on issues in the field. The result is an evidence-based approach to therapy that balances addressing the immediate distress of today with an understanding of how your developmental history informs and often supports that distress.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Effective therapy is not just about symptom reduction or diagnosis, it is about identifying who you are, who you want to be, and then working together to get there.
