I am a psychodynamic/analytically trained clinical social worker. I have been teaching clinical practice and practicing for over 30 years. Its often quite frightening to come to a stranger and share one's suffering. I often recommend that one initially goes for a consultation. The consultation hopefully, will provide a sense if the therapist can be of help. Therapy is a collaboration of two people. People often seek therapy when there is a painful loss or disappointment in their lives. Understanding and support helps in the recovery process.

I will provide you with the safe environment necessary to address conflicts, vulnerabilities and painful life circumstances during the process of psychotherapy. I work with adults, adolescents and couples to address issues related to relationship/family conflicts, employment/education, parenting, single-parenthood and mood disorders. I have a particular interest and expertise in working with mothers and daughters and the issues and conflicts unique to them.

I believe therapy should be a safe, non-bias, judge free space where you can be seen and heard regardless of what you are going through. In our sessions together, we can challenge and explore where we currently are in life, and how to manage, cope and overcome obstacles with full transparency. With experience working with LGBTQ+, BIPOC, polyamorous, and sex positive, community dealing with various mental health issues and life stressors, together we can set goals and build our toolbox to get to our ideal, higher, authentic self. If you are ready to make your healing journey a priority, you have come to the right place!

As a psychotherapist and professional coach for over 25 years in NYC and Westchester, I work with families, couples and individuals to deal with the challenges, changes and crisis that occur in our lives when we least expect it. As a family therapist my practice addresses couples in conflict, separation and divorce as well as adolescence. My clients include women in transition with career and relationships as well as coping with anxiety, infertility and depression. I am also a certified Bereavement Counselor assisting those with parent, child and sibling loss.

Haley provides evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and adults. She has had the opportunity to provide care in private practice, school, and medical settings. This array of experiences has fostered her ability to understand clients through a multi-disciplinary lens and draw upon a multitude of evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Prevention-Focused Care, Crisis Intervention, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention. She utilizes these therapies to target anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, trauma, and executive functioning deficits.

I enjoy my work with couples and individuals from diverse backgrounds that are working to improve relationships with their partner, colleagues, family or friends. Many of my clients are couples that would like to increase their connection, better understand each other and feel understood and enhance their intimacy. Some are working to heal from infidelity or other issues that have come up for the couple. I strongly believe in premarital work to create a strong foundation for marriage, as well as, a sense of confidence to navigate sensitive issues in a respectful and appreciative manner.

During these complex times, we are presented with extremely challenging issues that demand resourcefulness and perseverance. No one is immune to pain and suffering; the sharing of it is a courageous and healing act. I specialize in helping clients develop strategies to cope with anxieties, fears, depression, hopelessness and helplessness. I bring many years of expertise providing supportive, interactive, strength-based treatment and a client-centered approach, using evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and psychodynamic therapy.

Whether you are struggling to find meaning in your life after dealing with the loss of a loved one, failing health, life changes or one of your parents, spouse or yourself has Alzheimer's or another dementing illness I am here to help you. Your first step is a phone call away. I will travel to your home. My clients are not necessarily "artists" and there is no need to be afraid of using art materials. Art therapy uses art materials to help you or your loved one in ways that words alone cannot. It is about the process, not the product!

I work with individuals, couples and families. It is very common for most people to feel sad, depressed, nervous, anxious, or overwhelmed at one time or another. Often, these feelings are triggered by a crisis, change or loss, especially when you are dealing with stress at work, conflict in a relationship, a serious health issue, the death of a loved one, or memories of a traumatic, painful past.

I specialize in working with young professionals, executives and teens. With so many uncertainties and challenges to navigate, you may be overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck in patterns that aren’t moving you forward. I can help you make the changes needed to be your best self. With 15 years of experience as a therapist, lecturer, supervisor and coach I connect extremely well with clients building trust with humor, sensitivity, and a laid-back style that gets results. I’ll help you develop practical skills and strategies to enhance your relationships, improve your decision-making, and feel more confident.

I specialize in working with seniors and supporting and educating caregivers of individuals with dementia-related illnesses. If you’ve ever been on a plane, you’ve heard these instructions. “Please put your oxygen mask on first before assisting others.” Now, imagine hearing these words as a caregiver… Roughly translated it would mean, “take care of yourself and the better you will take care of others.” It’s difficult to see someone struggle, and oftentimes when we do, we sacrifice our own well-being to ensure theirs. It may not seem this way, but you both deserve hope and support through this challenging time.

The exchange between you and therapist should be safe, honest and challenging. But it should also have humor, some guidance toward other resources but mostly it should not feel antiseptic to you---not contrived or distant and removed. This is about you--your life and the trust you put into your therapist should be received with honor and returned to you with respect and truth and consistency of presence. I am not going to spend time here telling you the approach I use, the methodology I subscribe to because every approach is unique to the person with whom I am working. You are unique and so should be your therapy.
