I am passionate in helping clients explore the disparity between where they are now and where they want to be with their desired goals in life. I provide empathic listening, compassionate presence, and nonjudgmental support to my clients. I subscribe to the core values of trust, respect, empathy, warmth, and genuineness, which have been shown to elicit insight, healing, change, and growth in clients. My culturally sensitive approach makes me aware and appreciative of the layers of difference among the multiculturally diverse populations I work with.

For more than 20 years, my primary focus has been to provide my patients with the highest quality of counseling and psychotherapy. If you are feeling stuck, held back or burdened, please call me. I will help you to understand your feelings, your thoughts... your life. I believe that each person's strength resides in their uniqueness and individuality. You have the potential to transform your life, to achieve greater inner peace, and to feel closer to other people.

Whether you are starting therapy for the first time or making a return, finding the right therapist is so important.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York City and Westchester. I focus on women's health, including the transition to parenthood, as well as extensive work with children and families. I served as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine, Outpatient Psychiatry Multi-Cultural Coordinator and Supervising Psychologist, and Clinical Director of the Center for Trauma and Resilience at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. I believe in supporting every member of the family system as they navigate life stressors and adjustment issues to promote resilience in the face of adversity.

My goal is to help individuals and families become more attuned with themselves and others, in the service of increasing personal and interpersonal satisfaction and getting one's needs met more effectively. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, issues in relationships, trouble working through life transitions, and difficulty feeling in control of their emotions. I also specialize in working with parents to foster healthy and respectful relationships with their children and develop effective parenting skills related to communication, boundaries, discipline, and helping their children to manage their big emotions.

I specialize in working with individuals, couples and families who have experienced loss and/or trauma. The definition and scope of both "loss" and "trauma" are as unique as the individual struggling to move through it; my work honors the unique circumstances each person brings to the therapeutic space while also utilizing methods that are proven to promote growth and reduce emotional distress. If you are struggling with a health or medical trauma, (as the patient or the caregiver), death/other significant loss, or a developmental trauma that is impacting current relationships, you do not need to struggle alone.

I am an empathetic, compassionate, and understanding therapist. I graduated from Columbia University School of Social Work with the goal of helping my clients feel safe and comforted while exploring their unique concerns and challenges. Seeking therapy is a challenging and scary experience, but it is also a brave decision to make; it is usually your first step to healing and getting the help you need. Let me help you, support you, and collaborate together towards your goals in a safe therapeutic space.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I view anxiety, depression, and emotion dysregulation as a relational or interpersonal problem. When one member of a family struggles, it impacts the whole family system. I provide individual therapy, including tailored exposure therapy, to help clients learn new ways to respond to their anxiety and depression, as well as couple therapy, family therapy, and parenting support to address the relational difficulties that often accompany these and other challenges.

Finding a therapist who can really listen and then offer solutions can be a challenging task. As a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of counseling experience, I am dedicated to counseling and assisting teenage and adult patients. My main areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, women's issues including infertility, postpartum depression, relationship issues, divorce and women in the workplace concerns. I have worked extensively with high school students. My goal is to work with you to find solutions to the issues that are difficult to cope with. Together, we will develop helpful strategies to face life's challenges.

Over the past twenty years, I have been helping adults, teens and couples navigate a number of life's challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and other major life transitions. Building trusting, honest, direct and empathic relationships with my clients is most important to me and is what I believe makes therapy successful. People seek therapy when they are struggling with something that is not working in their lives or they are dealing with painful emotions. Through a mutually respectful, collaborative process I help my clients develop new coping strategies and skills to make the changes they are looking for in their lives.

Are you overwhelmed or unhappy at home, at work or school? Conflicted or stressed about a major life change? Are you entangled in a recurring conflict with your partner, child, family member or co-worker? Struggling with concerns over emotional eating or other compulsive behaviors? I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with 20 years of experience helping adults, couples, teens and children achieve greater confidence in themselves, security in their relationships and enhanced control over their lives. I work in an active and supportive manner and am continually inspired by seeing the dramatic changes people can make in their lives.

The one factor that contributes most to successful therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. My commitment to you in this regard is absolute. Fostering a strong therapeutic relationship - based on mutual respect and trust - is an ongoing aspect of our work. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for this to occur. My style of interaction is active and responsive. I am direct, supportive, and compassionate. I listen well. My approach focuses on your concerns and my interventions are tailored to your specific circumstances. I suggest additional areas of focus as they arise. We can also focus on decision-making / problem-solving.

I am experienced in helping clients recapture the person they previously were. Many clients say to me, "I just want to go back to being the person I used to be", and that's exactly what we focus on. Clients also often say to me, "I just don't know what to do or what I want", and we work together until we figure out how to alleviate their confusion. We achieve this in various ways, most often through exploration of the presenting issues, examination of past relationships and significant experiences as well as decision-making and behavioral patterns.

From my training and over twenty five years experience in practice, I have developed a non-judgmental, collaborative, and holistic approach to help people explore their problems in living. I work with all ages from a developmental perspective which I find invaluable. I love seeing children because of their innate desire to grow. Tapping into the teen's natural thrust towards independence propels the work forward as I stay in tune with adolescent goals. With adults, I'm mindful of a person's history, but stay in the present using the therapeutic relationship to heal the past and expand awareness.
