I am known for Caring and Professional PERSONAL, MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIP Counseling. Life is all about relationships. We shape them, and they shape us - they touch us to our very core! But finding a well-qualified relationship therapist when your relationship is suffering can be very difficult! Many therapists lack the specialized training, experience, or license to work with couples and families. As a result, couples often experience marriage therapy as lukewarm in supporting the goal of life-long commitment. I am licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist, as well as Clinical Social Worker at the highest level of experience.

We can learn who this new you is whether you are a new parent, divorcee, empty nester, dealing with grief or loss of a loved one, dealing with a new diagnosis or illness, working on your relationship or marriage, starting school or a new career, or just getting older and learning to cope.

I consider it a great privilege to help my clients with their most personal struggles and it is with this mind-set that I seek to provide a safe and compassionate space to begin our work together.

Working from a strength-based perspective, I utilize a range of treatment modalities including CBT, DBT and mindfulness to help my clients reach their goals.

"You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." (A.A. Milne). Helping a client become or feel more empowered is a key approach I take in my practice. I focus on helping my clients reflect on personal issues in order to better understand them and make the positive changes they desire to make.

I am a developmental psychologist and a licensed marriage and family therapist. I specialize in children, adolescents, parenting, co-parenting, and family systems. I believe that each member of a family impacts every other member, so when issues arise in one member, each member is affected. I place a high importance on communication within a family to help them to improve family dynamics. Issues in an individual or a family can arise at any time, so clients will graduate therapy with the skills they need to conquer future stressors.

The journey from adolescence to young adulthood can be stressful and overwhelming for both individuals and their families. Between social pressures, academic expectations, and familial relationships, some people can get trapped in a cycle of negative emotions.

I have helped individuals and families build strength and resilience in a number of settings, including schools, mental health clinics and as a pediatric social worker in NYC hospital systems.

Life is a journey and you will be hard pressed to find a completely smooth path along the way. The hard truth is that life can be filled with difficulties. However, everyone possesses inner strengths to overcome their barriers. I will assist you in bringing out these strengths and adopt healthy coping mechanisms.

You feel stressed out all the time. You have managed to keep everything together for years but you feel like you are barely holding on. You are exhausted all the time and often think you just can't do it anymore. On the outside, it seems like you have it all it. You’re accomplished, driven, and dependable. But on the inside, you never feel good enough and the voice in your head often reminds you of all the ways you’re falling short. You're tired of giving so much to everyone else while you continue to come last on your list. Not anymore. Now is the time to prioritize yourself and make a positive change.

Are you an adoptee that has experienced change or transitions in your life? Do you prematurely end a relationship before you get left? This is a trauma response due to attachment issues which are common with adoptees. Most adoptees crave a secure attachment. Unresolved trauma wrecks havoc on our ability to give, receive love. Learning to understand and unravel where this comes from can help you make progress toward not avoiding these uncomfortable thoughts.
