About Me
I help individuals and couples address challenges through focused, short-term therapy. With over 25 years of experience and diverse approaches like CBT and EMDR, I pinpoint core issues. My aim is to equip you with practical tools, finding clarity and lasting change efficiently. Sessions offer immediate insights you can apply. This approach suits those seeking direct, effective support without a long-term commitment.
Approach
To make brief work effective, I structure each session around one or two concrete goals and immediate, usable strategies you can try between visits. In Great Neck or via secure online video we work in English at a direct, steady pace—focused reflection, short experiential exercises, and clear feedback so you notice change quickly. Sessions often include gentle somatic checks, brief guided imagery or focused skill drills, plus short at-home experiments to test what shifts. This way of working fits people facing anxiety, relationship strain, chronic pain or trauma who want practical, timely results.
