With over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I work with a wide range of human difficulties. From young adults trying to find their way, to couples struggling to communicate, I believe that my work is to draw out the hidden potential in each individual. Throughout the years I have trained in a wide spectrum of modalities, ranging from practical, solution-oriented behavioral therapy, to attachment theory and advanced work with the subconscious mind. And sometimes just talking about an issue in a safe environment, giving it words, allows the next step towards a happier life.

I am an empathic Psychologist who uses humor to speak about difficult topics. My goal is to help my clients reach their goals whether that be increased insight, behavior change, or managing thoughts. I use a non-judgmental and supportive stance to help my clients feel more comfortable when speaking about issues that may make them feel vulnerable. At times, I can be irreverent and direct, which helps when we find ourselves avoiding what needs to be addressed. In addition to working with clients in my private practice, I work for Northwell Health providing psychotherapy to Residents, Fellows, and other Medical/Professional Staff.

I work with couples to overcome infidelity, persistent conflict, and other relationship issues. I work with individuals to challenge negative thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that create patterns that keep them stuck. My approach is emotionally focused and attachment-based, to help clients gain insight and resume positive progress in their lives.

We are a team of licensed counselors passionate about working with clients who are seeking mental wellness. We can support you as you combat anxiety and depression, explore your identity, wade through life transitions, or learn to build healthier relationships. We can help you discover the strengths that nourish your inner resilience - because we do believe experiences of trauma, oppression, and neglect shape you, but we also believe you have an incredible ability to heal.

I enjoy working with adults, families, couples, and groups. I utilize a psychodynamic perspective influenced by existential psychotherapy and family systems, and incorporate Gestalt techniques and elements of narrative therapy.

Sometimes, nothing is working. Are you anxious and only dwell on the negative? Do you experience a lack of joy, excitement, purpose? Do you want to be more social but find yourself isolated? Are you unsatisfied with your career and relationship? Are you a work in progress but seeing no results. Working together, I can help you become more comfortable with life, get relief from anxiety, depression, moodiness, fears, phobias, relationship difficulties, addictions, personality problems. These things that are getting in YOUR way.

As a person: I’m empathic, assured, and work to find the positive. I spend my time cultivating growth wherever I can. I enjoy spending time with my dog as well as anyones who needs a helping hand. I enjoy roadtrips with friends where I get to paddle board or simply bask in the water. I will drive for seafood, leisurely hikes, and natural attractions. I want you to know what type of person you'll be talking to because the therapeutic relationship matters. Some people click, when that happens it's a beautiful thing. Fantastic work can be done. Others don't click and that's perfectly ok. Let's see if we fit.
