Has someone's addictive behaviors caused a strain in your relationship or family system? Are your teenager's behavioral problems beginning to feel unmanageable? There is so much stigma and shame surrounding topics of your child's misconduct or these issues of drugs, alcohol, gambling, internet and sex addiction that they often become the family secret no one talks about. Teenagers isolate, partners silently live in fear of their lovers relapse, and there is often someone who feels like the black sheep of the family. Believe it of not you can heal from this.

By building on individual strengths, therapy can guide us back to our best selves.

Challenged and stressed by recent events? Is it keeping you stressed, fearful, sad? If so, let's talk. Therapy provides a safe and non-judgmental environment that allows you to start creating space to face those challenges, allowing you to develop and thrive. Emotional numbing and avoidance allow us to avoid pain but also serve to keep us disconnected from happiness, resulting in shame and isolation. If you have been feeling like something is missing from your life, this may be the cause. Engagement in therapy can be the remedy that allows you to reach your goals and live your best life.

We all want to feel that we are in control, alive and balanced. The reality is we can get stuck, confused, and in need of help. Feelings of frustration, hurt, doubt, worry, sadness, self-blame, or loneliness can set in. In other words, we become “unhappy.” We want to feel that we have a choice. A choice that will make things better whether it is for ourselves, our relationship, or our children.

As a clinician, I firmly believe in a strong support system as integral for progress. In my work, I have been inspired by those who are reflective and identify the need to better their situations. I approach my work through a psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral perspective.

I have worked with families as well. I am looking for a patient committed to the process of change internally and externally.

In today's society, people are faced with multiple stressors and demands in their lives. If you are feeling overwhelmed at times, you are not alone.

It is important to me to develop a positive therapeutic relationship with each person individually and to foster a safe environment in which personal awareness and growth can take place.

After working for the past 6.5 years closely with survivors of sexual abuse at a prominent NYC hospital, I have developed a strong passion for continuing my work with survivors. Recently, many survivors are being triggered by events in the worlds of entertainment, national, and local news. The increased reporting has created significant public awareness leading people to flashback to painful and traumatic events of childhood and adult sexual abuse. You do not have to live alone with those memories, thoughts, feelings, anxiety, and depression. If untreated, the effects of trauma can have a lasting life impact.
