For over 25 years, I have provided forensic consultation to New York State and Federal courts on criminal, family, and civil matters. Also, I see patients on a regular basis for neuropsychological testing to evaluate the effects of brain trauma, learning disabilities, and ADD on everyday living. In addition, sex offender work-ups (which include computer-based testing and clinical polygraph) are offered through my practice (NY Forensic) for the purpose of risk assessment and dispositional recommendations for the court.

The therapeutic relationship is a real one that can bring on great change and growth. I deeply invest in my clients and the work we do so to create the change you want and need.

I am confident that my clients can discover their own solutions to the conflicts and anxieties that bring them to therapy. I believe that people want to be heard by a professional who will help them develop new perspectives on themselves and their relationships, and who will assist them in finding creative ways to handle the anguish that daily living involves. I am exploratory and active and make interventions within the context of each person's historical narrative. I provide interventions and referrals when necessary. I view myself in constant transformation where learning takes place in a parallel project along with my clients.

During these uncertain, rapidly changing and complex times we are living through, I seek to meet you where you are and assist you in resolving the pain and confusion which blocks your sense of peace and authenticity, exploring the influence of your early life on your personality, relationships and current stressful situations. Together we will find tools to relieve any anxiety and confusion and we will find a place of equilibrium from which you can engage your inner and outer world in newly effective ways. You can then make the changes you need to make in order to experience fulfillment with yourself and within relationships.

Do you have thoughts or feelings that are troubling or hard to talk about? Do you find yourself falling into self-defeating attitudes or behaviors?. I will help you to better understand your emotions so that you can regain control of your life, have a better relationship with your spouse or child, and experience more meaning and pleasure. When you free yourself of the influence of past experiences, you are better able to live in the present and find creative solutions to life's challenges.

Hello and welcome to my profile. By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating. I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect. Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

Peace-Filled Mental Health Counseling Services is a multi-cultural team of therapists who specialize in trauma, depression and anxiety. We serve adults, adolescents, children and families. PFCS helps individuals recognize and understand the root of their issues, and help them make quality decisions. Our motto is "Change your perspective; change your life." Experience alone does not shape your life. It is your perception of what you are going through and the decisions you make that will determine your outcome.

I am attuned to the stressors of adolescents and young adults in these uncertain and frightening times. I am aware of what goes on in schools, at work, in the community and at home, and I can assist folks in unpacking trauma, establishing health patterns, and creating positive relationships with the self and with others. Many don't know exactly what brings them to therapy, but something doesn't feel right and they want to know why or make changes. Change is inevitable, and so very scary, particularly for young people. Folks want to feel heard, seen, and like they matter and that their struggles are real and valid.

If you're struggling with intense emotions that feel like they are controlling you and behaviors that help in the short term but only make life harder -- you're in the right place. A lot of times we continue to struggle, not because we don't want to change, but because we don't know how to do things differently. I can teach you tangible skills to have more choice and control over your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Learning these skills can make the difference between your emotions dictating your life and you finally being in the drivers seat.

I am a warm, caring and insightful licensed psychotherapist, who joins with clients to help identify and understand areas of challenge and gain the insight and the coping skills to overcome them. I believe that empathy and humor are two of the most powerful tools in helping clients affect change.

I am a psychotherapist with over ten years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents, and families. Some people come to therapy for help with depression, anxiety, or concerns about substance use. Some are facing obstacles in their careers or relationships. Others wish to help their children with behavioral, emotional or academic issues. Within a warm and supportive environment, I will help clarify your goal and work towards them. We will identify negative patterns, and ways to cope. I am trained to assist those who feel overwhelmed because of past events and current stresses.

At my practice, we treat a wide variety of patients. For some, it is his or her first time at therapy and there may be some trepidation about starting the process. For others, we have been one of many therapists in his or her life. Each patient brings a unique and fascinating set of thoughts, feelings and behaviors all of which require a specific method of treatment. It is wonderful work! We hope that everyone can have the chance to explore psychotherapy in his or her life, be it for a single session or many more.

I have over 20 years of experience with guiding and coaching people of all ages through life transitions and through trauma recovery. I have a proven record of helping many people: to feel less pain, be less overwhelmed, to identify personal goals, and to move towards achieving these goals through our therapeutic relationship. I combine clinical skills with a practical approach and always with a genuine and non-judgmental respect for your personal unique choices and experiences.
