Therapy provides an opportunity for us to grow and become our most authentic selves. I aim to promote self–exploration, help clients experience emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them, and foster the ability to relate to others in new ways. I use an eclectic approach grounded in relational, psychoanalytic theory. I offer a personalized approach tailored to each person’s needs, interests, and goals which may include short term, skills -based training and/ or a more depth- oriented treatment that gets to the core of the problem with the aim toward lasting change.

Are you ready? I am here to help you try something different and make a change. I am a Clinical Psychologist working with children, adolescents and adults coping with depression, anxiety, behavioral difficulties, relationship troubles and other difficulties. I earned my doctorate from St. John's University and BA from NYU. I interned at Bellevue Hospital/NYU Child Study Center and ran a program at NY-Presbyterian Hospital. I understand how difficult it is to make the decision to begin therapy and find a good fit with someone with whom you can feel comfortable.

If you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community you may want a therapist who is as well. It can be difficult to find someone with whom you feel comfortable and confident in sharing your deeply personal feelings and experiences uncensored. I am compassionate, relatable, unassuming and honest. I aim to normalize thoughts and behaviors while counseling my clients to make the changes they need to increase their self-awareness and the way they relate to challenging people, situations, and relationships.

In my work with children, adolescents and adults, I attempt to create a warm, peaceful and engaging environment. I work with individuals and groups with a variety of emotional, behavioral and social issues. In addition to considering the individual needs of a client, my approach to treatment also accounts for the support structure a client has in place. Particularly in my work with children, I often find parents and school professionals to be crucial partners in the process of therapy. In addition, many years of experience working within schools, makes me a strong advocate for parents and students who are struggling to succeed in their school environment.

As a clinician, my goal is to provide a safe and accepting atmosphere where issues can be explored with empathy. Clients often come to therapy with a need to find hope for their future as well as a path to restoration. I believe that the relationship we form together can be the basis of that path.

We ALL struggle from time to time with handling our emotions, life challenges, and self-identity. Engaging in mental health counseling and trusting a mental health professional to help and assist you with these issues is a wise and brave choice. I believe counseling is about personal growth and wellness. I believe we ALL can benefit from therapy because at the end of the day it is about unloading the emotional baggage we are trying to deal with on a daily basis. There is always a "Silver Lining" in everyday life and embracing challenges - and change.

I have been working with children and adolescents in school settings for over 20 years, first as a Special Education Teacher and then as a School Counselor. Through this work, I helped my adolescents and young adults develop executive functioning skills, organizational skills, and goal setting to help them transition into their future endeavors. Now, as a Student Assistance Counselor, I work with adolescents in a high school supporting their mental health needs and substance abuse issues. As a LPC, my goal is to help my clients explore the root of their distress, identify needs and wants and work toward a more balanced life.

We are collectively experiencing trauma due to events like the pandemic, climate change, violence in our communities, and political strife. Trauma therapy techniques can help us explore how direct or indirect challenges are impacting our lives. Together, with kindness and compassion, we will gain a deep understanding of your life experience and identify, augment, and employ your strengths to the fullest. Individual growth and stability are possible when we are willing to look at all aspects of ourselves and apply that learning and understanding when navigating our lives in the chaotic world we live in.

Inevitably we all encounter profound disappointments and trauma in our life-time. The resulting pain which lingers, may cause physical or emotional symptoms such as confusion, excessive anger, fear, anxiety, and/or depression. Such symptoms make achieving one's life's goals difficult. The goal of psychotherapy is to relieve these debilitating symptoms. Working with adult individuals, I create an environment that facilitates an honest and open exchange between patient and therapist. My goal is to identify the source of symptoms and to increase my patient's quality of life by restoring a sense of balance of body and mind.
