Expert Psychotherapy Services in NYC & Montclair, NJ
With over two decades of experience in private practice, I specialize in guiding adults, couples, and adolescents toward overcoming self-defeating behaviors and emotional challenges. My career began with consultancy roles at Fortune 500 companies like the Ford Foundation and Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals, where I honed expertise in human behavior and workplace motivation. Today, my practice focuses on psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, informed by contemporary relational theory and ego psychology. I hold a master's degree from Columbia University School of Social Work and a postgraduate certificate in psychoanalysis from the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.My approach creates a safe, collaborative environment to address depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship struggles while empowering clients to take control of their therapeutic journey. As faculty at the Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis of New Jersey, I maintain active engagement with evolving therapeutic methodologies.
