COVID-19 UPDATE: My physical New Paltz, NY and Manhattan offices temporarily closed on 3/18/2020. I am currently offering teletherapy for individuals and couples until it is safe to return to the office.
I am an experientially oriented psychotherapist in New York City and New Paltz, New York with 30 years of experience treating a variety of psychological issues.
Whether the causes are rooted in low self-esteem, anxiety or depression, unhealed childhood wounds or self defeating patterns, I’ll help you overcome barriers that interfere with positive self-worth needed to restore healthy human connections. LEARN MORE
