ABOUTPracticing Change and Letting Go

Therapy is a collaborative process; we work together to think about how you think. My style is conversational, with an emphasis on talking about feelings, thoughts, and patterns that keep you stuck in place. I specialize in the LGBTQ community, working with individuals and couples who are looking to improve their relationships. I am also experinced in addressing substance use disorders within the LGBTQ community and other communities. I am an observant Jew and a gay man; I live in Manhattan with my husband and 2 dogs, Jacob and Golda.

Before working in private practice, I was the assistant clinical director of an outpatient mental health clinic in the West Village, where I saw patients and supervised several clinicians. I currently offer in-person and telehealth sessions. My office is wheelchair accessible.

I have a limited number of Medicare sessions available.
