Your Trusted Psychologist for Personal Growth & Well-Being
With over 35 years of experience as a licensed psychologist, I specialize in helping individuals achieve personal growth and professional success through evidence-based practices. My approach combines Positive Psychology principles with practical tools to address challenges in relationships, stress management, and self-improvement. As a certified hypnotherapist and achievement coach, I work with clients through in-person sessions in New York City and remote consultations via Zoom or phone. My expertise extends to corporate consulting, public speaking engagements, and leading workshops on strategic planning and well-being.Holding a PhD in Psychology from City University of New York and affiliations with prestigious institutions like Harvard Medical School, I bring academic rigor to practical applications. My practice accepts major insurance plans while offering flexible payment options to ensure accessibility. Through decades of clinical work and academic contributions, I've developed methodologies that help clients leverage their strengths to overcome obstacles and create meaningful life changes.
