With a legitimate desire to experience your emotions, reveal your thoughts, and admit the consequences of your actions, you have all you need to achieve your therapeutic goals of change and healing. Emotional containment/expression, spontaneity, intellectual clarity, and behavior change are basic to of human nature. A subtle shift in one element can have profound consequences in restoring emotional equilibrium and improving quality of life I bring keen intuition and 40 years' treatment experience to guide you.

You deserve to finally get the help that you need. In my practice, I focus on strength, not stigma, and treating mental health just as we would treat the physical body. Throughout my training, I have experienced the benefit of blending clinical, holistic, and creative aspects in treatment. Many of my clients have experienced a sense of relief and freedom as I guide them toward learning coping skills and help them release shame from their past. Whether it’s coping with trauma or helping your child perform better in school, I can help you develop the tools to thrive, not merely survive.

As a psychologist with over a decade of experience practicing in New York and Miami I focus on helping individuals and couples to thrive following difficult life experiences. Often times, our current or past difficulties get in the way of being our best selves. My clients come to understand what behaviors and relationships are hindering them, and develop the essential skills and self-awareness needed to lead lives with more joy. I’m known for my collaborative and solution-focused approach to help my clients.

I like to work with people who are motivated to make the changes in their lives to achieve happiness and feelings of well being. Happiness requires a good work-life balance, good self esteem and unconditional positive self regard. For some, this is not easily attained and my goal is to help folks get there.

I believe in the power of therapy. The connection between the client and the therapist is essential for change. As a therapist I am not here to tell you what to do, but to guide you and to show different ways for you to get where you want to be. Often when we listen from people outside our comfort zone things start making more sense.

If you're anxious, depressed or overwhelmed and repeating distressing, limiting thoughts and behaviors, I can probably help. Living with painful emotions and addiction is as agonizing as living with a challenging physical illness. But have hope. When you have a physical illness, what's the first thing you do? Go to the doctor. If you're suffering from mental illness, seek relief and find a good mental health professional. Depression, anxiety, and addiction are mental illnesses. They require psychological and psychiatric help.

Anxiety, Depression, Stress, & Relationships can be exhausting, especially if you have low Self-esteem, Attachment injuries, or experienced Neglect, or Trauma. It's hard being human.

If you are here right now, then you may be struggling. ~Maybe you feel like things are never going to change. However, that is just your mind playing tricks on you. You are stronger and more resilient than you think. Promise. Let's begin to create the life you want to live today.

Welcome to my Profile. Are you questioning your relationship? Are there times when you feel as if you are giving more to the relationship than receiving? It can be difficult to set boundaries when other's needs quickly overtake yours. Staying in a relationship just because you love someone is one part of it. Love is not all that you need. Respect, understanding, reassurance is what you DESERVE. You may be inclined to find yourself in relationships where your primary role is that of savior, advocate and confidante. Can you relate to any of these roles? You don't have to settle. Finding the right partner is possible for you.

I also examined the benefits of using mindfulness techniques during sport performances in order to achieve one's optimal potential.

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist (NY/FL/GA) and Coach and work in person & via phone, online etc. Therapy/Coaching are active processes. I provide a safe space for clients to be vulnerable and grow.

If you're unhappy where you are at, having difficulty in relationships with parenting, losing weight/getting in shape, or just feeling stuck, these are areas I feel I am expert in.

It takes tremendous courage to seek out help. After taking that brave first step, you should be met with support and unconditional respect.

I serve as the Program Director at Recovery 112 which provides me with the opportunity to develop holistic programs to identify resources for complicated medical cases.

Life can be painful, relationships can be disappointing, and self-sabotage can be your barrier to achieving your full potential. Real change is possible, but not easy. It happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you have power to change instead of trying to exercise control over what you don't. I assist clients by helping them identify the specific maladaptive thoughts and behaviors ingrained in each of us from our pasts and which can sabotage our futures. Working together clients can gain self-awareness, identify core values and create goals changing their life direction.
