I am a psychotherapist with many years of experience working with individuals and couples. In my practice I utilize a wholistic approach with an emphasis on helping the client resolve "unfinished business". Unresolved emotions can have a negative impact on one's psychological and physical health. As your therapist, I will help you achieve an understanding and awareness of the obstacles that may be keeping you from living a more full and satisfying life. With your renewed self-knowledge, you will have the potential to create the relationships and the life that you want and need.

Life is a journey of self discovery. It can sometimes surprise us, throw us a bit of a curveball, and leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and lost. These feelings can cause depression, anxiety, or both. If this resonates with you, I can help.

I help young adults & adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, crises of meaning, relationship issues, life transitions, and struggles with grief & loss. Within a warm and collaborative therapeutic relationship, I adopt an eclectic approach which includes elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Gestalt, Existential &Humanistic approaches using positive psychology and strengths-focus themes. I work with clients to foster self-acceptance, psychological flexibility, the management of strong emotions, and healthy relationships.

With over 20 years of experience in the field, I take an eclectic approach in my role as a therapist depending upon each persons individual goals and needs. I firmly believe in the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship and providing a space where my clients feel safe and comfortable to be themselves.

I help people because I make it possible for them to bring their issues and concerns into the therapy session in order to resolve these problems in the treatment. Whatever we accomplish in this task carries over to the client's outside life and they become more successful. I am able to do this because of my many years of supervision with some of the top therapists in the New York area. I also train other therapists and I was cited as a supervisor of excellence by the California Psychological Association.
