I am a psychoanalyst and couple therapist with over 14 years of experience. My background is in working with adult and children trauma survivors. I am also trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. I am a member of the teaching faculty of Training Institute for Mental Health, a psychoanalytic institute. I own the group practice, Manhattan Therapy (manhattantherapy.com) and I am licensed in NY, NJ and Michigan. In addition to weekly therapy, I offer couple therapy intensive sessions that take place for several hours on weekends. I specialize in relationships, both the relationships with others and even perhaps more significantly, one's relationship with the self. Issues include: ADHD, eating disorders, sexless relationships, workaholism, money disorders, and other out of control behaviors used to manage one's feelings. Together we will try to find language to describe your inner world. I work with your goals and we go at your pace. Part of what we will do in therapy is to discover the story you have told about yourself, and craft the story of your life ahead.
