As a psychologist for 42 years, 21 years as a school-psychologist, 22 years in private practice, I am frequently asked about my areas of specialty or my modes of treatment. I explain that what WE do (therapy is a joint effort) has everything to do with the person sitting in front of me. Everyone brings his or her own problems, histories, relationships, personalities, situations, and resources into therapy and it is not a one size fits all paradigm. And as similar as we humans are, we are each of us, unique.

Looking for the right counselor can be just as difficult as dealing with issues that disrupt your life. It's important that clients feel comfortable and safe when they attend their sessions. No subject is taboo and no problem is too big or too small. I am a patient listener, gentle and straightforward. My treatment modalities are based on each client's needs; there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to exploring one's issues.

Healthy is Wealth! Stress is a normal part of life caused by the challenges we face everyday. But when these challenges become overwhelming and lead to excessive crying, sadness, anxiousness, fatigue, or triggers us to abuse food, alcohol, drugs, or engage in risky activities, then it’s time to seek professional help. Negative thoughts/behaviors are our body's "alarm system" that informs us something's wrong and needs our attention. Left untreated, mental health problems can wreak havoc on our mind and body. Let's talk and see what's going on.

We all have emotional challenges in our lives, especially throughout these last three years of uncertainty, isolation and loneliness, which may have added to already existing problems. If you are struggling with feelings of depression and or anxiety, if you are overwhelmed and your problems don't seem to get better despite your continued efforts, if your quality of life is not what you would like it to be, psychotherapy can help.

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Rize-Up Together began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

The process will not be linear but the journey will provide you with skills, connections and inner growth.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.

My style is very warm & caring with a strong detail for eliciting emotional honesty. Appropriate humor with an inquisitive dialogue bring deep & real issues to light. My primary goal is to build a safe and trusting relationship with you. I strive to understand your 'reality' while also exploring some of the biased/outdated beliefs that we all hold, which construct our current 'reality'.
