A major challenge for many individuals, couples, and families is creating and sustaining meaningful connections. Feeling connected to loved ones and friends, purposeful work, or creative endeavors is not easy. Sometimes people do not feel connected to themselves and need support in understanding their feelings and behaviors. Likewise, there are times when disconnecting from toxic relationships and activities is necessary and requires strategies and skills that are not easily acquired or encouraged by others. Stressful life transitions, traumatic events, addictive behaviors, and painful losses are concerns for many of my clients.

You want a therapist who is passionate & loves people, who has multiple, not singular experiences, who believes in therapy enough to go themselves. I go as preventive medicine. Originally from NYC, have always had friends, associates, relationships with persons from every culture.  This has been extremely valuable in developing my clinical skills and ability to understand and help a wide variety of people from various backgrounds.  The next invaluable contribution to my clinical skills is my Mother, Elizabeth, who taught me, "Everyone I know knows something I don't."  This makes every single person of unique intrinsic value.

Are you suffering from trauma & finding it holding you back from living your true, authentic life? From my experience, I can see how challenging a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis can be on a person, & working with someone open to learning new skills to manage it better can be very rewarding! I enjoy working with people who are suffering from anxiety or depressive disorder as I have seen the progress my clients have made in those areas & I love to watch them start to live a more satisfying life. I am here to assist with any life transitions, relationship issues, grief, or OCD/phobias that are preventing you from your goals.

Our clients are diverse, and range in age from 0 to 110. We serve all populations and a wide range of personal, couples, and family problems. Our practice is focussed upon each individual client's needs. We emphasize matching the client concerns with the specialty and expertise of one of our highly trained therapists. Client satisfaction and responsive service is our goal. We have high visibility in our community, are respected, well-known, long-established, and with high integrity.

Are you struggling with anxious or ruminating thoughts, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, lethargy, lack of motivation, or isolation, which may have been manageable previously but now is an issue? You may struggle with creating a support network or having boundaries with others. Are there unresolved trauma issues that you may not be acknowledging? You are looking for insight & help with your active symptoms, like managing your anxiety, ruminating thoughts, or negative self-talk. You would like to develop coping skills that are easily applicable to your daily routine while increasing the quality of your supports.

Are you experiencing abuse, addictions, anxiety, depression, bereavement/grief/loss, low self-esteem, hopelessness, identity crisis, unexpected career changes, teen-pregnancy or trauma? Then allow me to come along beside you to help you transition into your "new normal" and to help coach and encourage you into a new way of thinking and living! I offer an eclectic, client-centered, holistic approach while addressing the "symptoms/behaviors" and never criticizing the person as a unique human being. You will be provided therapeutic counseling services in a safe "non-judgmental free-zone," supportive and confidential environment.

Are you struggling with individual or family crisis? I specialize in helping my clients achieve a healthy and meaningful life by using various psychotherapeutic models. I work with children, adolescents, adults and families with issues such as: trauma, depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. I provide my clients with a personalized therapeutic approach that is both supportive and confidential. The scope of my practice complies with all aspects of cultural and spiritual competencies. I believe that it is important that the therapy that is provided to my clients enhances the quality of their life.

I specialize in seeing clients who struggle with over-controlled personality types. Do you work too much? Want things to be perfect? Strongly dislike being out of control of situations? Or feel like you have to do things in order for them to be done correctly? My ideal client is simply a client looking to learn and grow. I have treated such a wide variety of diagnoses and people from all over the country. I am open to most clients as long as they are adults.

In my 30 years of experience as a child and adult clinical psychologist, I have developed a diverse set of assessment and therapeutic skills, allowing me to provide optimal care to children, adults and families. I am a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC), and my specialties include helping families going through the difficulties of divorce, parent coordination, preserving a cooperative and collaborative environment to keep the children's best interests a priority, and conducting court-ordered custody evaluations. Attorneys and courts frequently request these services in order to help resolve child custody and parenting disputes.

It is my feeling that all people have an innate need to succeed in life and to discover and better understand their human potential and purpose. It is also my feeling that growth occurs when we look inward. Through thoughtful introspection, the human spirit has the opportunity to evolve and actualize in both our conscious and unconscious lives.

I adopt a comprehensive perspective towards psychotherapy, believing every therapeutic connection is distinct and requires an extensive and personalized approach. I focus on aiding adolescents and adults in comprehending the intricacies of their challenges or encounters, enabling them to utilize their capabilities and experience empowerment and encouragement in effecting substantial personal and relational transformations. Additionally, I extend guidance to parents, regardless of their children's ages, assisting them in navigating intricate childhood difficulties and providing insights into opt.

I am passionate about trauma, depression, anxiety, LGBQT concerns, personality disorders, and neurodivergence. An ideal client is an individual who has a growth mindset and explores their thoughts and feelings and how they impact their behavior. They may not understand how those thoughts derived from past experiences, but they are willing to open old wounds given the right tools. They feel safe and secure and want to heal through hard work and determination.

Therapy is a process that allows for healing and awareness. I practice heart-centered hypnotherapy along with other holistic practices. These experiential practices provide a gateway to release stuck traumas, which ultimately create the habitual patterns that may not be serving your higher self. You can rediscover your personal power and learn how to internally resource, seeing all the choices available to you when challenges in your life are happening. In committing to this process, you can step into your own energy and reclaim your authentic self.

I am both inspired by and respectful of the time, courage and commitment it takes for you to engage in a therapeutic relationship, especially via telehealth. Utilizing a strength’s-based approach, I believe helping you to set realistic and achievable goals is pivotal to a successful outcome of self-sufficiency and self-care. Working from a place of compassion, flexibility and sensitivity, I also recognize and incorporate in treatment the importance of different life factors (e.g., family, cultural and environment) that heavily influence us socially and emotionally and our abilities to cope with challenges.

I strive to create a respectful, welcoming, and safe space for my clients. I work with adults to process trauma, explore their LGBTQ+ identities, cope with stress and anxiety, heal from depression, manage life changes, and more. Although everyone has coping strategies, I can help review what is and isn't working, refine the healthy strategies, and add some new skills to practice.

Welcome! I am glad that you have come to my page. I am here to offer you a safe, relaxing and open environment so that we may work through any obstacles that you may be facing. Trauma, broken relationships, life changes, maternal issues, hard times, depression, parenting and marriage struggles-these things happen to even the strongest people and sometimes you just need someone to "hear" you. Learning how to cope with life's challenges will decrease feelings of hopelessness and sadness. Releasing negative thoughts will allow you to leave feeling "lighter" and replace them with positive thoughts and goals, hopeful for a better future

​Counseling isn’t one size fits all. I approach the counseling process eclectically and by meeting the patient where they are in their life. I believe it’s important to incorporate various techniques, as well as different forms of interaction that may facilitate deeper conversation and connection. I believe in order for someone to feel comfortable opening up, they have to trust. Sometimes this means stepping outside of your comfort zone. I look forward to working with you on your journey of self-improvement, self-reflection, understanding, growth, and discovery.
