NYC Psychotherapist / Hypnotist / Addiction Specialist / Interfaith Minister
The paradoxical journey of life contains both great joy and debilitating suffering. Therapy involves sharing one's suffering and joy with a witness who can hold a sacred space with humanity and insight.This holding environment lends itself to stripping away illusions so as to unlock the truth, and to ultimately explore the questions concerned with larger meaning. Together therapist and patient enter those places most feared for the purpose of healing through suffering, with the intent of actualizing wholeness. Consequently this process of recovery and self-reclamation reveals it is our greatest pain that may contain a deeper purpose. We discover that therapy is a place to realize one's potentials; to know who we are and what we may be. We come to recognize that psychological growth and spiritual development are not dissimilar, but rather facets which constitute the whole of who we are.
My treatment approach is both traditional and holistic. I incorporate a psychoanalytic and behaviorally oriented knowledge base with 12-step philosophy, hypnosis, Gestalt techniques, Jungian psychology, and other diverse spiritual and creative vehicles. My love of the arts and my involvement in acting/writing pre-disposes me to effectively process creative blocks and stagnation. It also lends itself to perceiving healing as a creative process, and accordingly, to access the creative resources within all of us that lead to actualization.
I specialize in comprehensively treating addictive disorders, trauma/complex post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and women's issue. I adhere to a traditional psychodynamic approach, and incorporate hypnosis, creative arts, and spiritual perspectives, when it reflects the patients clinical needs and wants. When indicated, resources, such as bodywork, psychopharmacology, psychodrama groups, workshops, etc. are integrated into the treatment process. I provide clinical supervision and consultation characterized by an eclectic knowledge base and sensitivity to transference and counter-transference issues. I am also committed to facilitating healing through therapeutic theater (The Sistah Tribe- Phoenix Project) and mobilizing the creative impulse which leads to actualization.
