I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that is dedicated to working with individuals, children, and families to address depression, anxiety, family issues, parental concerns, school behavioral/truancy concerns, and more. I use a collaborative approach along with evidenced-based interventions to help you meet your goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in practice in Westchester County, NY. I worked for 11 years as a Psychologist at Columbia University's Counseling & Psychological Services, providing psychotherapy to the diverse graduate and undergraduate student body. Patients there presented with a broad scope of psychiatric concerns ranging from anxiety and life transitions to trauma and family issues. I served as a member of Columbia's Trauma Treatment team, working with survivors of sexual assault and recent trauma. I have a great deal of experience treating anxiety, mood disorders, and interpersonal relationship problems.

Treatment provided to children, adults, couples and families experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, behavioral problems, opposition/ defiance, conflicts with interpersonal relationships, low self-esteem, low motivation, bereavement, low educational achievement, life transitions, post-traumatic stress disorders, behavior management and any challenges faced in daily life.

Struggling with a mood disorder, anxiety or emotional upheaval? I see individuals, families and couples who need or benefit from help on relationship issues, family conflicts as well as symptom management. Further I am skilled working with substance abuse clients who are in recovery

I have a unique, interdisciplinary background as a seasoned and compassionate holistic psychotherapist (individual, couples, family), divorce/family mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach. I view and treat patients as whole people, integrating Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, wellness, and Buddhist principles into a tailored holistic approach. Together, these approaches help patients understand and change how their thoughts and emotions impact their behavior. As a mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach, I am committed to helping people avoid court and resolve their differences sensibly and compassionately. I am passionate about minimizing the negative effects of divorce and separation by fostering effective coparenting.

Are you or your child struggling with attention, anxiety, sadness,learning disabilities or relationship concerns? I provide a calm and comforting environment. Neuropsychological/psychological evaluations to diagnose and provide recommendations are also a focus . We can evaluate for psychiatric conditions, learning disabilities, ADHD, processing speed issues. Recommendations for IEP and 504 plans and for standardized testing accommodations. Our evaluations contain specific and detailed recommendations to assist with treatment planning, goal achievement, and attainment of accommodations and/or educational modifications.

In a caring home-office I offer supportive, practical, goal-oriented, cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT) psychotherapy for accepting and processing what's past and embracing what's next with wisdom and ease. With 25+ years of experience in areas such as: infertility, cancer, health, stress, relationships, divorce mediation, family therapy, meditation and yoga, depression/anxiety and wellness, work/life balance, I have a strong understanding life's transitions, especially with teens, young adults and families. My hours are flexible. The first appointment will be helpful in understanding the client's history and desires and determining if the rapport is comfortable.

Deciding to begin therapy can be a turning point in your life. I work with children, adolescents and adults using supportive and insight-oriented psychotherapy for issues related to adjustment and stress (e.g. anxiety, depression) as well as specializing in conditions that affect the brain (e.g. learning disorders, ADHD, brain injury, memory problems). As a clinical psychologist and a neuropsychologist, I have specialized dual training in brain behavior relationships and take a psychodynamic approach when working with clients therapeutically. I also integrate cognitive behavioral techniques to help my clients meet their treatment goals.

My goal In psychotherapy is establishing a genuine relationship with my clients in order to foster emotional growth and change. We participate in an empathetic collaboration to address behavioral issues with sensitivity to strengths and limitations. As my clients gain insights into their lives, I encourage them to consider taking actions to affect change. They thereby gain self confidence and a sense of well-being that empower them to reach their goals. In our exchanges we discuss the emotional, cultural, and social conditions that the client faces in order to promote greater self-awareness.

Finding a therapist and feeling comfortable with that person is a very important aspect of getting started. I like to think of therapy as a conversation at the same time knowing that you have goals for your life that will be the focus of our work. I take a very humanistic and interpersonal approach to my practice, which seems to put people at ease.

As a cognitive behavioral therapist, I help clients learn strategies to reduce stress, improve mood, and handle difficult life situations. I collaborate with the client in a nurturing and supporting environment to define goals and work towards a more fulfilling and happier life. I provide therapy to individuals, families, and couples dealing with a variety of emotional challenges. I have expertise in the areas of anxiety, mood disorders, and women's issues. In therapy we will examine how thoughts impact behavior and feelings. Clients will be able to recognize their own negative thinking patterns and to view situations more constructively.

Have you wondered if Dialectical Behavioral Therapy can be helpful to your adolescent or young adult? I offer a complimentary consultation to answer any question you may have. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults to more effectively regulate emotions, reduce problematic behavior and enhance problem-solving skills. I provide a time-limited, goal directed, and structured treatment to help your child work through their challenges and learn to become their own therapist. I work well with parents and clients often see a reduction of symptoms early on in treatment.

My book "Uniquely Normal: Tapping the Reservoir of Normalcy to Treat Autism," won 5 awards, including the categories of "Psychology/Mental Health" and "Parenting and Family." The foreword is written by Temple Grandin. It has 27 case stories of people on the spectrum significantly improving. I start with an evaluation of the person's cognitive processes. I then develop an interactive therapeutic plan to affect the processing underlying the individual's behavior. My passions are getting children to speak for the first time and working with Asperger's young adults in establishing healthy relationships. I have also helped those not on the autism spectrum, to establish a healthy, romantic relationship. For children, I work with the school, including establishing the best placement and educational environment.

My background is in treating depression, anxiety, anger, and PTSD in adolescents and young adults. Additionally, I work with clients to help negotiate family stress, peer conflict, relationship issues, and loss. My hope is that through honest communication we build resilience and coping skills for life.

I view my therapeutic role as a partnership in which I listen carefully and guide the conversation so that I can "hear" underlying themes and connections I can then share with the client as we work toward resolving their difficulties. In providing information related to the client's concerns, my work is still psychodynamically informed. This is especially important for clients interested in learning about themselves and their relationships in a new way (their feelings, anxiety, causes of symptoms, or errors in judgment) in order to free themselves from the misunderstandings, confusion, and emotional "clutter" holding them back.

As a therapist, I start with the basic assumption that we all have a fundamental impulse for growth and well-being. Sometimes we need resources, guidance, and someone with expertise to rediscover this. In my practice I am looking to engage clients to gain insight, discover motivation, and hone emotional skills. I am interested in providing the most conducive setting for people to cultivate their innate creativity, intelligence, and courage in navigating anxiety, depression, and the range life’s challenges.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I am here to help you with whatever you may be struggling with. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, trouble in your relationship, or anything else, I am here to help and support you.

I listen empathically to help my patients develop self-compassion and awareness so they can develop acceptance and create change. I see my role as listener, supporter, and guide into the internal world. My job is to thoughtfully explore with you, this unknown terrain and come to know the resources, resiliency, and best self that already exists. I also believe that life is not all rainbows and unicorns. There are many up and downs. The question is how we get through them. We must explore all aspects of life to fully engage and fulfill our greatest potentials.
