Psychoanalysis focuses on uncovering and working through the unconscious sources of our problems. I am a psychoanalyst with 30 years of experience, originally trained abroad in psychology and later licensed as mental health counselor in New York. My style of practice is characterized by analytical listening and emotional support. I seek to facilitate your insight and processing, respecting your timing, culture and values.
My practice is a welcoming place with a comfortable waiting room, and my office is a warm place. It is located in Gramercy, Manhattan, New York.
In your first visit, you and I will focus on exploring, assessing, and understanding your problems, and on helping you to make decisions about treatment options.
I am accepting new patients from Mondays through Saturdays. I accept self-paid patients. You can check my current fee in this website. It is listed below.
Also, I accept some medical insurance plans, and I am in the process of accepting new ones. Therefore, if your insurance is not listed in this site, please check with me.
Video-sessions and Phone-sessions:
At least one office-based session is required for starting Video-sessions or Phone-sessions, which can be an acceptable substitute for when the patient has impairments for commuting to my office.
Other languages spoken:
Aside from English, I speak Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.
