Emotional struggle comes in many forms…sadness, anxiety, fear, relationship problems, school problems, grief. Sometimes it’s just so tiring going at it alone, and I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is understand your own story. Therapy is a creative process that can help bring resolve to many emotional issues. Together we can work to gain insight and develop personalized coping and change strategies.

Difficult emotions or experiences can interfere with our ability to enjoy life and be the best you can be. You might feel stuck in patterns of thoughts or behaviors that are making it difficult for you to fully enjoy life. It can be hard to figure out what to do. At Joy and Success, we have four highly trained and qualified therapists who utilize techniques consistent with Cognitive Behavior Therapy CBT, EMDR, neuropsychology, and Positive Psychotherapy when treating various difficulties. They can assist you in discovering and developing the tools and skills you need to reduce anxiety, depression, and other difficulties.

People often come to me when they are faced with something that seems too challenging to cope with. Whether this is a new or ongoing stressor, it can lead to feelings of overwhelm. I offer a safe space to slow down and talk about what is overwhelming so that you can uncover a way to navigate the demands of life. I help you find what roots you and to live in a state of wholeness through the use of evidence-based practices targeted to calm the nervous system. I help you tune into mind, body, and spirit and trust yourself as a reliable source of information.

As your therapist, I will utilize all my empathy and expertise so that together we may access the root causes of suffering and build new and more fulfilling ways to live and think about life, while working toward and achieving a better life for you and your loved ones. My work is solution-focused, using a variety of theoretical frameworks to help every client achieve their goals. I have training in a number of therapeutic forms: Positive, Cognitive Behavioral, Play, Family, Trauma, and the Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned my Master’s degree at the Hunter College School of Social Work in Manhattan (Clinical tract, specializing in children and family therapy). My professional experience over the years has been in both private practice and outpatient hospital settings. I specialize in working to empower my clients, both children and adults and their families who may be experiencing relational or other obstacles, which may include, but not limited to trauma, divorce or separation, loss, mood disorders, anxiety, panic, self esteem issues, cultural diversity, and sexual orientation.

Depression and anxiety can be overwhelming. Both can stem from work stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, or a biological predisposition. Children and adolescents are no exception given academic demands and social pressures. The overall goal is straightforward: gaining control of your emotions and not let them control you.

I empathize with the strength and courage needed to reach out and ask for help; this initial step can be the most difficult in the treatment process. Keeping this in mind, I strive to ensure the initial session is a comfortable and empowering experience. My primary focus will be getting to know the individual, couple or family and identifying treatment goals. I will assist the client in working towards realistic goals within a therapeutic framework based on personal needs. I believe building a therapeutic rapport is a critical component of the process as it works towards creating a healing enviroment.

Emotional health is just as important as your physical health. Your emotional health matters and these steps take courage. I have 20 years of experience in the mental health and addiction counseling field. I have worked with all types of populations from children to adolescents, to adults in various settings. My approach to counseling combines behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, and psychoanalytic therapies. My work also includes inner child healing, working towards self-compassion, self-love and self-acceptance.

People always tell me that they feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings with me. I believe this is because they feel unconditional acceptance without any judgement. Many people I support are living with anxiety, depression, wrestling with a life transition, struggling in their relationships at home or at work, or just feeling stuck. If you are contemplating making a change in your life and are seeking guidance as you explore your options and the possibilities that change may bring, I can help.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor with 11+ years clinical experience providing psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. I can help foster positive growth in your life, help you see that change really is possible, and that there is always hope. Life is difficult and we all have problems. Some problems are so relentless and overwhelming that we need professional help. I aim to create a safe environment where the individuals and families I work with feel heard, nurtured, and confident.

If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you! Are you feeling frustrated/concerned about your CHILD, TEEN or "EMERGING" ADULT CHILD living at home? Has the school called about social/behavioral issues? Are you struggling with attitude isolating behaviors, rewards not working? Are you an ADULT experiencing stress/anxiety, ? You're not alone. It's a relief to share fears/feelings with a professional trained to listen. I provide therapy to help you learn the impact of your feelings and behaviors, develop coping strategies in a warm supportive environment. I have a unique ability to establish a rapport with adolescents and adults.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. I work toward providing an atmosphere of respect, support, trust and caring which can lead to a greater potential for self understanding, healing, relief and the opportunity to see and make different choices. In private practice for 20 years, I have a varied practice, working with individuals, couples and families with a wide range of difficulties. Areas of particular specialty include working withindividuals who have experienced trauma, relational difficulties, eating disorders, anxiety, depression and issues of adolescence.

Life is Right Now. If you make one great decision about your life today, and that decision causes a 1% positive impact on your life, that impact gets compounded day after day. Working with the right therapist can create positive changes in your life way beyond anything you can imagine. For 20 years I've been helping people build extraordinary lives, rich with success and achievement, heartfelt personal relationships, renewed physical vitality, and a deep sense of fulfillment. After earning a Doctorate in Psychology, I went on to study coaching at Harvard University and became certified by the NBCC.

I specialize in treating adolescent and adults whom suffer from addictions and mental health problems. I also practice a multitude of therapeutic techniques. Whether you are new to therapy or have some previous experience, I will use a personalized approach to help you to achieve your goals. As your therapist I will work with you to understand your needs. If I cannot help you I will refer you to someone that can.

At this time, I am offering your choice of in-office, video or phone sessIons. I work "out of network" only. Please confirm if your insurance covers "out of network" services so you know your benefits. Slide for those with no health care coverage. Free phone consultation is gladly provided. Texting makes scheduling and communicating especially convenient. With extensive professional, educational and life experience behind me, you will be provided with skilled care.

Change is a constant in all our lives and it can take on many forms. Sometimes it can mean loss (death, divorce or end of a relationship, career changes or retirement, aging, family transition, moving to a new area) and sometimes it can involve helping someone you know cope with their changes or challenges (social skills, medical status, mental health, etc.)

Stuck in a rut, can't face another day? Having trouble seeing which direction is right for you? Anxiety, depression, fear getting in the way? I will help you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience in mental health, specializing in adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, life transitions or low self-esteem.

I have an eclectic perspective and like to infuse relaxation and guided meditation into my practice.
