With 20 years of experience working with individuals and families in Westchester, I currently have my practice in Hartsdale, NY. I work with young adults, adults and couples, treating issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship issues, as well as with parents of young children. Making personal and life changes can be difficult. A skilled and caring therapist can help when we feel confused or stuck.This is an important piece of work I do, as we can never change other people, only ourselves. I strive to create a safe, caring environment for clients.

I am a clinical psychologist and board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) specializing in the assessment and treatment of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental conditions (ADHD, intellectual disability, learning disorders). I have worked professionally with people with developmental disabilities for almost 15 years and am very dedicated to this special group! I also have extensive experience using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to treat individuals with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and other concerns.

My practice consists of children, adolescents and young adults. 18 years of experience has shown me the vitalness of individualizing my treatment to best suit your needs. Each person enters therapy with unique struggles and circumstances. My goal is to provide a safe setting where you are comfortable to address and vocalize inner thoughts, improve coping strategies, regulate emotions, tolerate distress and make choices that will improve the quality of your life. I focus on building each individual's strengths, raising self awareness and improving self confidence and interpersonal relationships. I work collaboratively with the family, school and other professionals.

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Shakespeare's Hamlet didn't know it, but he was speaking of the power of our thoughts and how our thinking and perception can result in our feeling anxious or depressed. This premise is a cornerstone of the treatment I provide as a psychotherapist. In my practice, I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help my clients develop skills and strategies that will allow them to feel better as they learn to manage and regulate moods and emotions caused by negative, irrational thinking.

It is important to me to work with my clients as a cohesive team, developing the most effective, individualized therapeutic strategies. After all, people are different and shouldn't be fit into a cookie cutter approach. Some clients benefit from in-depth therapy focusing on childhood trauma and loss discovering how these events currently impact them and the destructive patterns that result. Others focus on developing a set of tools they can use to cope with the challenges and stressors in their lives-working on changing the maladaptive ways they may think, feel and act.

Seeking support through therapy can be an agonizing process. However, you have already taken the first step in the right direction. I can help you uncover all those barriers that arise in our lives and create change. I bring optimism, enthusiasm, and compassion to my practice and I genuinely believe that provides a safe therapeutic environment for clients to heal.

I look at individuals and couples within the framework of their relationships. Goals include helping to strengthen positive connections and understand more about all of their relationships past and present in order to promote healing, and help sort through whatever difficulties they may be facing currently. I have worked with children and families on many issues including limit setting and behavior, adolescent development, anxiety, adoption, and separation/grief. Married and a mom of two teenagers and one young adult, I bring years of personal and professional experience to my work.

Parenting is hard work! I can help. I am a Columbia University trained Clinical Psychologist specializing in maternal and child mental health and development. Women and/or their partners often seek support during pregnancy or the postpartum period for anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulty adjusting. Parents with children of any age seeking their own psychotherapy often find is helpful to speak with someone who understands child development and issues related to parenting. Psychotherapy is individualized and may include aspects of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches.

When choosing a therapist it is important to seek someone who is well trained and has a significant amount of experience. Throughout my career I have helped many people with a broad range of difficulties including: anxiety, depression, marital problems, parental issues, family problems, gender issues and more. I interact freely with my clients sharing with them the obstacles that are preventing them finding resolutions to their difficulties. In a supportive non judgmental and collaborative atmosphere I encourage clients to become curious about themselves and to understand the roadblocks that prevent them from solving their difficulties.

With more than 25 years experience, I am skilled in treating adults, adolescents and married couples. I believe that the symptoms that a person brings to my office, such as anxiety and depression, are the result of distortions in his or her relationship to him/herself. These are created in infancy, childhood, and adolescence via unconscious processes.

As a Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment in which to help you resolve a range of issues including anxiety, depression and relationship conflicts. Together, we work to make sense of buried feelings and longings and unravel connections to past experiences, including early trauma and loss, to help you to live your life more fully and confidently. Using a variety of approaches, I help you to identify and overcome obstacles to realizing your potential and accessing your inner strengths.

My goal is to help you live the life you want. I help people free themselves from chronic self-defeating patterns, paralyzing anxieties, or painful depression and loneliness. Whether your difficulties are in relationships, the world of work, or your relationship to yourself, I will work with you to help you understand yourself and to make healthy, active choices and changes growing out of this self awareness. I believe that the therapeutic relationship must be built on mutual respect, trust and compassion. I am warm, curious about who you are, appreciate humor and am actively engaged in our working relationship.

My practice takes the approach of working with clients through a genuine, real-life, human-to-human interaction. I have experience working with adolescents, adults of all ages, and families who are struggling with behavioral or mental health concerns. If you or a member of your family are struggling with emotional challenges (such as anxiety or depression) or behavioral concerns, contact me with any questions you may have about the services I can provide for you

A psychotherapist for over 20 years, providing individual, couple and family therapy. I strongly believe in the idea of "meeting the client where they're at." I work with adults focusing on anxiety, depression, and life stressors. With a specialization in family therapy and relationship issues, I work with couples as well as parent-child relationships, including with parents and their adult children.

I work with young children ages 2-16 and their families using Creative Play Therapy and Applied Behavioral Analysis therapy. The areas in which I have worked extensively with children have been Anxiety, Performance Anixiety, Depression, Attention Deficit, Transitional Difficulties, Social Skills, Divorce, Loss, Separation, Anger Managerment and Learning challenges. I conduct individual, family, parent guidance/coparenting and group psychotherapy. I run Divorce, Loss and Social Skills groups for children ages 6-10. I conduct assessments/reports for Family Courts, schools-- CSE, CPSE and a child's readiness for Kindergarten as part of my practice.

Are you or your child experiencing depression/anxiety, relationship issues, school or work-related difficulties? Or have you or your child experienced trauma? I specialize in these areas, and may be able to offer assistance. I also have experience with case management and advocacy, and do consult work at schools/organizations (workshops/trainings).

As your therapist, I will work with you to better understand problems you may be experiencing and to give you the tools you need to improve. Whether you are an individual with depression, relationship problems, or anxiety, or are having difficulty as a couple, we will examine patterns of behavior, thinking, and feeling that may be unhelpful. With compassion, I will work to increase your awareness so that you may learn alternatives and new skills and, I will support you as you put them into practice.

I am a licensed psychotherapist who works with men and women struggling with self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety and life transitions. I have worked with individuals and groups in various outpatient settings primarily around issues of interpersonal trauma and abuse. I have lectured on domestic violence throughout Westchester County.

I'm a therapist trained in psychoanalysis and creative arts therapies with over fifteen years of experience. I draw from a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches such as Object Relations, CBT, and Humanistic Psychotherapy while using the creative arts as a complimentary means of exploration. I try to tailor my approach to your preferences and interests and work towards goals that you think will be helpful.
