Welcome to my practice.

It takes a lot of courage to even think about challenging and confronting one's personal concerns, so I commend you for taking this first step of finding a therapist. Since personal therapy is about discussing your life experiences, history and present concerns, finding someone with whom you feel comfortable is key. It is important to work with someone empathic, insightful and caring, to get the maximum benefit from therapy.

I would be happy to meet with you to explore whether the two of us could work well together. Your comfort level is important to me. If we do not hit it off, I will assist you with finding a counselor who could better meet your needs.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified psychoanalyst. I have a deep personal commitment to helping my clients lead joyful lives, liberated from self-defeating thoughts, feelings and behaviors. If you are a Russian speaker, we can converse in your mother tongue.

My office is conveniently located at 26 West 9th Street in Manhattan, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, and is easily accessible by the A, B, C, D, E, F, N, R, Q, W, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and PATH trains.
