I am the Founder and Director of The Talk Suite. I have hand-selected each therapist on our team, sharing with them my philosophy, expertise and passion for my work. I encourage our team to use an eclectic and flexible approach to the way in which we practice therapy; adapting different theories of psychology to the individual needs of our clients. I am a Psychoanalyst and New York State Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work from New York University and postgraduate education at Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy. I have been in private practice for over twenty years.
I am a compassionate and caring psychotherapist who will respect your feelings while working through issues of concern for your well-being. I believe that being curious about yourself and how you are in the world is a big part of the therapeutic action.
I use an eclectic approach adapting the different theories of psychology appropriately to the needs of the individual (or couple). Working together dynamically, through a mutual dialogue, we can explore and become curious regarding all areas of concern in your life.
