I am a licensed psychotherapist and have been in practice for over 30 years as an individual, group and couples therapist. I received my MSW from The Hunter School of Social Work and completed my post-graduate work at the Psychoanalytic Institute for Clinical Social Workers. I have extensive experience teaching and supervising other clinicians at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies, The Fifth Avenue Center for Counseling and Psychotherapy and the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society. I am committed to expanding my knowledge base and skills, staying current with up to date therapeutic modalities. I trained in mindfulness and meditation with John Welwood, and advanced my approach to couples therapy with Terry Real and the Relational Life Institute. For the last two decades, I have been part of the Systems Centered Training (SCT), which teaches a transformative change-based approach to therapy for individuals, groups and couples. I am also a certified EMDR therapist and certified meditation instructor.

As a well-versed Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, I diagnose and treat patients as a Psychotherapist at my own private practice, Union Square Couples Counseling & Psychotherapy, established in New York City, New York, in 1983. I have an impressive professional journey that spans thirty-four years and my areas of expertise include anxiety management, depression, self-esteem issues, and relationship difficulties, including marital, family, work, and friendships. My work also includes working with individuals struggling with various addictions, life cycle transitions, disenchantment, and personal growth. Various approaches are used, depending on the problem presented. My style is interactive and direct. You you can expect clear and honest feedback.
