Talk Therapy

in person, with a good listener

FiDi, NYC

About

I’m a Psychoanalyst licensed by the State of New York. I practice open-ended, non-medical talk therapy. My approach is grounded in Modern Psychoanalysis, a set of tools developed here in New York City to relieve emotional pain, release creative blocks, and help you grow into the person you want to be. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, respected, and free to live the life you want.

My fee is $200 per session. Because it’s important that therapy be available to everyone, I offer a sliding scale, according to financial need. If you need to talk to someone, but you’re not sure you can afford it, ask. If you don’t see a time listed that works for you, ask. Sessions are conducted in person, at my office downtown. It’s a nice, relaxing place, and it’s easy to get to.

I work with:

  • anger

  • anxiety

  • career shifts

  • creative blocks

  • depression

  • grief and mourning

  • low self-esteem

  • midlife crisis

  • physical, emotional, and sexual trauma

  • post-traumatic stress (PTSD)

  • questions of gender and sexual identity

  • relationship issues

  • substance use and maintaining sobriety

  • …and more

I do not discriminate as to race, religion, age, gender, sexual preference, nationality, or political affiliation. All are welcome here.

About me

Before I became a therapist, I had a career in technology. I didn't expect to, it just kind of happened. Over time, I became aware that, despite the frenetic pace of technological change, the people using it are the same as they’ve been for thousands of years. Yet, as I learned through my personal analysis, they remain mysteries to themselves. I chose to train as a therapist in order to spend my second career exploring those mysteries. It's been a journey. I find pleasure, pride, and fulfilment in accompanying you on yours.
