Individual and Couples Therapy

Do past traumas hold you back?
Is the recession making you so anxious that you can’t think creatively and act effectively?
Are you having trouble finding a relationship or finding happiness within the relationship you have?
Are you depressed or grieving?
Do you need help to stop smoking, lose weight, or increase self-esteem?

Psychotherapy with the right person can help!

I am a spiritually oriented psychotherapist in Park Slope, Brooklyn, with 32 years’ experience helping individuals and couples from very diverse backgrounds overcome a wide range of difficulties. I offer both long- and short-term therapy with a multi-disciplinary approach, incorporating:

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy and counseling
Hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy
Mindfulness meditation
Pet-assisted therapy

I have experienced all these methods as a patient myself, so I know personally how powerful psychotherapy is when enhanced by EMDR, meditation, and hypnosis. These modalities help you to relax and be more open to change. They tap unconscious processes, facilitating growth through faster reprocessing of traumatic memories and negative thoughts as well as recognizing and enhancing your strengths.

I believe that successful therapy stems from the quality and strength of the relationship between patient and therapist. The more the therapist is involved in her own healing process, the more effectively she can inspire her patient’s growth. Understanding from the inside what the process of change is all about, she uses that understanding to connect empathically with the patient’s experiences, enhancing the bond between them.

In addition, the therapist’s healing process inspires within her a conviction of the possibilities for change that she passes on to her patients. Patients pick up unconsciously the therapist’s capacity for change and use that as inspiration for their own growth. Read more about these ideas in my paper "Countertransference, Sensory Images and the Therapeutic Cure."

I believe too that the changes therapy is capable of creating are a miracle. As Albert Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is.”

I’m available for a free brief phone consultation to discuss why you’re seeking help and to make sure I can assist you. If we feel we’re not a good fit, I'll be glad to suggest other practitioners.

I invite you to read more about psychoanalytic psychotherapy, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and animal-assisted therapy, read some of my articles describing how I use these methods, and learn about my background.
