Experienced Psychotherapist in New York City
With over two decades of experience in psychotherapy and counseling, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life's most challenging emotional and psychological transitions. My practice is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, complemented by insights from Internal Family Systems and mindfulness techniques, offering clients a deeply personalized path to healing. Drawing on extensive clinical training and a unique background as a rabbi in Judaism's Reform movement, I integrate spiritual and psychological perspectives to address issues ranging from trauma and anxiety to relationship conflicts and existential crises.My approach emphasizes building trust and fostering self-discovery, empowering clients to break free from destructive patterns and cultivate greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful connections. As a licensed psychoanalyst and educator, I remain committed to advancing both my clients' well-being and the broader field of psychotherapy through continuous learning and teaching.
