You have a lot of choices in selecting a therapist and psychologist. What’s different about me and my practice? (1) You’re getting an expert: I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology, I completed advanced training in my postdoctoral fellowship, and I trained at prestigious institutions. (2) I am an internationally recognized scholar in psychotherapy research, personality assessment, and psychotherapy integration. (3) I have a number of specialty areas in my practice, including therapy for substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties, as well as testing for Learning Disorders, ADHD, personality assessment, and comprehensive diagnostic evaluations.

I am a collaborative psychotherapist who enjoys integrating CBT, IFS, mindfulness treatments, trauma-informed practices, somatic treatments, and psychodynamic psychotherapy in my work to offer the best care possible for my clients. I believe sexual health, understanding, and connection are vital. I know the importance of mind/body integration. I am a practitioner who truly believes that everyone heals in different ways and everyone deserves access to that healing.

Sex, sexuality, and intimacy are concepts that we spend a lot of time pondering, but have few places or people in our lives where these topics are acceptable to bring up. The truth is everyone has sexual and intimacy concerns, but society doesn’t help us sort this stuff out. Messages about sex are everywhere in advertising, but real honest sex education is lacking. This leaves us to feel that we are isolated and alone. This can cause inner turmoil for people, and I want to create a safe environment where people can discuss their desires, fears, dreams, and beliefs about themselves. I believe that personal growth and self reflection come from support, guidance, and nurturance.

You are the expert of your own life, yet somehow you have lost the thread. My work with you will help you find your way back again. Our work together will likely include a variety of approaches that will be determined by your needs at the time. There may be strategies we will learn, concepts to explore and, sometimes, even homework. This is your time to heal, restore and rebuild yourself. I will be your guide. I am currently licensed in New York, South Carolina and Florida and I am completely online.
I offer free consultations so you can decide for yourself if you think we might be a good fit to work together.

Seeking therapy is not an easy step, but you are taking the first step to make meaningful change. Life can be stressful, painful, and frustrating. I am here to help relieve some of that frustration by creating a supportive space for you to be your true self. My approach to therapy is to help you understand your thoughts and behavior through a new lens, unraveling the root of your difficulties. I am eclectic in my work and have adapted a very holistic approach. I am relational in my work as I see people as social beings, with a lot of issues stemming from interpersonal struggles. Through our work together you will gain insight, learn how to deal in a more adaptive way to your struggles and become more in touch with your thoughts and feelings

Many of my clients feel uncomfortable or unsatisfied going through their daily lives, though they aren’t quite sure why. This generally manifests into anxiety or depression, feeling disconnected from themselves and others, and not being able to make change. I specialize in helping clients chart a course for enlightenment and self-improvement through conversations about past and current ways of navigating the world , along with building up psychological tools to handle life’s stressors.

My treatment style is integrative and strength-based and can incorporate tenets of CBT, motivational interviewing, crisis management, psychodynamic therapy, or trauma-informed counseling, depending on the client’s unique situation.
I enjoy nothing more than bringing out the best in others, seeing them grow, and helping them attain peace and happiness that has eluded them.

I welcome adolescents and adults who are experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, mood instability, and trauma. I am particularly attuned to the difficulties men face in understanding, experiencing, and expressing our emotions. I approach my work with compassion and warmth, along with deep respect for each individual’s experience and identities. I primarily use relational and psychodynamic modalities. This means I place an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, and collaborate with my clients to identify, explore, and change relationship and behavior patterns. I believe a therapist can be a “friendly mirror,” gently guiding us to see and accept all parts of ourselves.

My practice is deeply empathetic and intuitive, utilizes unique life experience and is rooted in the psychodynamic and attachment theory modalities. I also apply trauma-informed care, CBT, and other evidence-based practices, which allows clients to see real and actual positive changes in their lives. For me, process and progress go hand in hand.

For anyone, beginning therapy can be filled with a range of feelings, from fear to excitement to uncertainty. As therapists, we hope to guide, support, empower and be with you during this process of growth, exploration, and self actualization. We want to work with you to realize a life you find fulfilling on your own terms.
The Gender & Sexuality Therapy Center is a New York City based group of psychotherapists providing a wide range of services, including psychotherapy, supervision, workshops, and consultation focusing on gender, sexuality, sex and relationships.
We believe that taking the first step and beginning therapy is nothing short of courageous, is self-caring, and deeply rewarding, and we’re so glad you’re here.

I am drawn to helping people who have dealt with trauma and feel persistent isolation and sadness in their daily lives. By looking at things together a different way, we can navigate a different path. Let’s explore together, like astronauts! By gaining perspective, you can find more opportunities for strength and agency in your daily life.
My goal is to help you make own space to think about things you didn’t know were possible, a safe space for exploration and support you on this path. Making the first step can be intimidating, but we can also go to new places. Contact me to setup a free consultation call to figure out how we can move forward together.

I’m a licensed therapist in New York specializing in men’s mental health, with advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) — an approach that helps you understand the different parts of yourself that drive your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with men navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions, using a collaborative, non-judgmental approach that meets you where you are.
Taking the first step can often be the hardest, so I offer no-cost consultation calls to discuss what therapy together can look like.
