Most of the people that I work with are successful, intelligent people who are seeking to resolve problems in their everyday life. I have successfully helped people with the following issues:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Life transitions
- Low self-esteem
- Relationships and intimacy
- Finding a meaningful life direction
- Creative block/performance anxiety
- LGBT concerns
- Grief and loss
In addition to general therapy, I focus on two specialty areas.
Healthy Relationships
Many years of clinical experience has taught me that the single most important reason that many people come to therapy is the desire for a healthy, committed relationship. Therapy can help you identify and resolve inner blocks that may be getting in the way of a satisfying relationship. Common issues include:
- Finding a partner you connect with
- Navigating the NYC dating scene; anxiety about dating
- Handling conflict and arguments
- Increasing intimacy in a relationship; sexual issues
- Making a decision about a relationship you are unsure about
- Ending a relationship in a healthy way; coping with a painful breakup
- Working through infidelity and commitment issues
Work and Career Development
Having a psychotherapy practice in midtown Manhattan has meant being immersed in the world of dynamic professionals, with all the range you would expect in Manhattan – from the corporate world to freelancers; law, architecture, performing arts, advertising, teaching, and more. Most people are seeking satisfaction in their work and hope to advance professionally. Typical issues include:
- Becoming an effective leader and manager
- Connecting with your sense of ambition; resolving inhibition about competition
- Asking for a promotion or raise; being compensated fairly
- Managing an effective life-work balance
- Turning disappointment about failures into a fresh approach
