The word therapy means "to care for". So, psychotherapy is "a caring for the psyche or soul". To discover how to truly care we must be aware of who or what we’re caring for. My psychotherapy is as much a method of inner discovery as it is a process of emotional healing.

As a psychotherapist in Manhattan NYC my practice is relationship oriented. We were wounded in a relationship(s) and it is in those relationship(s) that we must heal. I work with you in learning to express your desires and needs in healthy ways. At the same time, we together manage the uncomfortable feelings that may surface. In-depth psychotherapy develops your intimacy skills and allows for the creation of more genuine relationships. This contributes to your overall sense of empowerment and fulfillment in all areas of your life.

As a holistic psychotherapist, I work with clients to experience therapy within themselves in new ways. We strive to explore more of our 'selves'—the various ones our psyche’s created to handle diverse life experiences. We have become comfortable with our old 'selves'. Part of the method of Present Centered Therapies is to reintegrate our disowned selves—the ones that have been criticized or shamed. This unleashes the energy that’s been stuck in resistant patterns so that more of us can emerge with confidence, aliveness and creativity.

Psychotherapy is a profoundly transforming process that guides you in achieving greater emotional connectedness and awareness of 'you'. This provides the foundation for all change, both within and without. Psychotherapy also helps you cultivate empathy toward yourself, and teaches you better techniques for working with your full range of emotions.

Present Centered Therapies is life-altering psychotherapy that is not only effective with individuals, but also with couples, families, and groups striving to achieve real change in real time.
