Thank you for visiting my website! 

My mission is to help you on a journey of self-discovery through counseling and psychotherapy combined with hypnosis. 

Through many years of experience as a psychotherapist and counselor in New York City, I've found that hypnosis, as formal trance, guided meditation or guided imagery, can readily open a window into the deepest part of the mind. What I love best about my work is the rich, poetic variety that individuals reveal to themselves about themselves.   Because everyone's mental interior is unique, I am constantly delighted at what people uncover in themselves and how creatively they  clear away blocks and realize solutions. It's an adventure for me as well!

As we work together creatively your goals will become clearer and your potential for change will grow.  Counseling or psychotherapy can help you identify sources of life problems.  Hypnosis is a wonderful technique that can help you overcome a variety of problems:  physical, emotional, and spiritual.  Others have learned to:

• Get a good night's sleep
• Eat well and lose weight
• Quit smoking
• Reduce stress for better health
• Vanquish self-defeating behavior & control harmful impulses
• Increase motivation
• Improve performance skills
• Treat anxiety and phobias
• Manage chronic pain
• Relieve depression

Hypnosis arouses curiosity.  The media cloaks it with charlatanism, evil intentions, and mysterious powers.  Unethical practitioners make exaggerated claims.  But the truth is more interesting than fiction.  It's not widely known that hypnosis is a mainstream medical technique approved by the American Medical Association in 1958.  A good deal of controlled scientific research has been done.

In my private practice I offer individual and group workshops in both English and Spanish. My office is located in midtown Manhattan, convenient to all transportation.
