Life can be easier! Learn specific tools in each session to reduce anxiety, stress, depression, and simply work through life's challenges. Over the last 10 years I have guided many individuals, families, couples, and groups to a new state of understanding and personal growth in their lives. I specialize in helping adults and children struggling with issues related to anxiety, panic attacks, depression, school refusal, divorce, and PTSD.. My style of counseling fosters personal growth and family cohesion in a warm, friendly, and safe environment.

My personal philosophy in life is that you can do anything you set your mind to when you have the support and faith to spur you forward. Without support or a belief system, I believe it’s harder if not impossible to be a better/matured version of yourself. If you have felt stuck or felt unmotivated by life's present challenges or past hurts and pains or just overwhelmed by it all, You have a place to find that comfort, guidance, and solutions, where it was believed there, were not.

Welcome! Today is a really big day for you. You made a decision to make a change in your life for the better. You are to be congratulated and supported for this. Making these changes can get very complicated along the way. Are you ready to take the necessary steps to be the change you are looking for? Do you want to exceed your own expectations in your life? Are you focused, humble and willing to consider the thoughtful input of others in order to achieve your goals? If your answer is "yes" to these questions - then let's begin! One thing to consider... nothing changes if nothing changes.

I utilize art therapy as a method to offer expression for emotions that are not able to be expressed through words. Connecting my educational background in fine arts as well as psychology I was able to complete my masters in Clinical art therapy and counseling. Professionally and in my personal life I have found that the ability to express ourselves in different ways can bring levity and peace throughout our daily interactions. I also work alongside individuals to manage stress and anxiety.

Therapy is the first step in investing in yourself. I am a NYS licensed clinical social worker. My mission is to provide guidance and support to you without judgement in a safe, therapeutic environment so that you can focus your sessions on creating the positive life and perspective that you seek. Starting at the first session, I will work with you on creating a treatment plan as step one in order to gain a healthy perspective on your priorities. I have experience working with clients from diverse social and cultural backgrounds. I also have experience working with families, child/adolescents, adults and couples.

Welcome! Are you struggling with feelings of sadness, discomfort, racing or negative thoughts? Do these issues then effect your everyday life with family, friends and coworkers? I want to help you gain back control over these thoughts that produce negative feelings and leave you falling short of your potential and thus interfering with your relationships at home and work. As a therapist trained in behavioral health solutions and addictions I can offer you an eclectic approach to working on these issues. I offer a warm safe nonjudgemental environment for you and/or loved one to share, learn, communicate and grow.

As a seasoned psychotherapist, I provide my clients with confidential therapy to assist them with managing the challenges they are facing. Whether you have been in therapy before or are new to the process, I can provide a safe and supportive setting for you to work towards deepening your understanding of your current situation and dealing with obstacles to change.

You want your life filled with passion, joy, and meaning in personal goals, career, and treasured relationships. You want to know that you matter and you are loved and accepted. You want to lift the weight of stress, frustration, hurt, and despair. For couples, you desire more excitement and a deeper connection. For parents, you want to know how to help your child through a struggle that you find overwhelming. You don’t have to feel powerless any more. You can take control of your life. Take the reins to steer your life on a new path to achieve your dreams, enhance your love life, & develop positive connections with others!

Mutual trust and respect between one another is the most important component to successful therapy. Because I also believe that therapy is a collaborative process, I am not going to convey to you that I have all the answers to your concerns and you don't. Instead, as we get to know each other I am going to work as hard as I can to listen, learn, remember, explore, talk, and after a strong degree of trust and respect is developed between us, challenge you. Working together, we will reduce the barriers preventing you from making adjustments necessary for change.

Does your child struggle to make or keep friends? Does he or she feel uncomfortable or anxious in social settings? Do they have difficulties communicating with others in person or using electronic communication appropriately?
