The decision to start therapy can be a difficult one. Therapy offers the chance to learn new ways to cope with emotional distress or challenges in life. It can help you identify and modify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, and supply you with effective coping skills. The goal is to work towards developing a more balanced and fulfilling life. I specialize in delivery of evidence-based psychotherapy, specifically CBT, DBT, and mindfulness meditation techniques. I provide individual therapy, family counseling, parenting skills, and weekly DBT skills group therapy.

We provide counseling services for children, adolescents, families and women in Rockland County.
I have been working with children and their families for over 15 years in settings such as hospitals, schools, mental health clinics and client's homes. I have extensive experience treating children with anxiety and depression, behavioral and anger management issues, ADHD, and oppositional defiance disorder. I have supported families through various stages of the divorce process and loss of a family member. I believe that a child is successful in therapy when the whole family is supportive and involved and I therefore have strong communication with a child's parents. I follow a Cognitive Behavioral and strengths based approach.

Helping others meet their wellness goals is a passion of mine, and I believe everyone deserves to be heard and valued. Having worked in service fields for many years the transition to counseling was a natural progression for me. ‍ I am excited to work with individuals in one-on-one counseling as well as in a group setting. Over the course of my adult life I have worked extensively with individuals battling obesity, binge eating disorder and food addiction and something that I have learned is that guilt and shame are roadblocks that prevent us from moving forward.

Contemplating who you are or what you want? Doubting your parenting skills now that your child has grown into a teen that feels impossible to understand? You're normal (whatever that means), I promise. Life transitions at any age can bring challenges and self-doubt. Unresolved past experiences or trauma may resurface, leaving us feeling stuck with overwhelming feelings that can be hard to navigate on our own. You are not alone. As a therapist who truly cares, I believe in healing through the use of empathy, self empowerment, and uncovering insights in order to help us narrate our own story.

Do you feel like you’ve lost sense of who you are or want to be? Does daily life sometimes feel relentless? Have anxiety, depression, stress and life changes drained you of your ability to fully connect with yourself, your loved ones, your passions and goals? We all get caught up in life, and the patterns we’re used to, and change can feel so unattainable. Sometimes you feel so stuck in how things have always been, have always felt, and how you “should” be - that you aren't sure how to even start making changes. I can help you unpack some of the weight you're carrying, so you can start to work toward a more satisfying life.

Are you seeking a therapist that is creative, easy to relate to, and a connection that is safe, trusting and reliable? Not to mention experienced. Everyone has different needs and circumstances, whether it be trauma related, relationship issues, life altering events, grief, mental health or health related needs, or just plain stress and critical life decision making. It is helpful to have someone to talk that out with, a person who can offer a fresh perspective and skills in navigating through these issues. Possibly in a brief or longer term treatment.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
