My approach to therapy is conversational in style. Over my more than 25 years of practice, I have found that interaction enhances the energy level in the room and builds a strong relationship between my client and myself. I offer a good deal of feedback and it is in this give and take that we define the vital issues confronting a person. This relationship is a therapeutic alliance, a conversation between two people interacting as equal members of a team, to achieve the goals that have been set. This therapeutic alliance is the foundation for all the work that we do.

Over the course of my career I have worked in colleges, hospitals, outpatient clinics and in-home settings throughout the Hudson Valley and New York City. My work has focused on supporting those working through addiction, trauma recovery, anxiety disorders, depression, grief and loss, and a variety of other clinical concerns.

I utilize multiple therapeutic modalities to correspond with the needs of each individual client, meeting them where they are at.

As a Mind/Body oriented Therapist, I understand that our emotions, behaviors, and physical body are sensitive to the stressors we face; we can literally FEEL anxiety, depression, and strong emotions. These stressors can affect our whole selves, often manifesting in negative thinking patterns and/or physical sensations of stress. Whether you are having trouble managing stress, and/or experiencing grief, loss, difficult emotions, relationship issues, anxiety/panic, or you feel like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way, working with your mind AND body through integrated psychotherapy, can help.

I help Women and Teen Girls (ages 16 up) to build resources during challenging times, and overcome anxiety and depression. It may be hard to feel hopeful about the future, not knowing if "normal" will return, grieving what has been lost or forever changed.

I offer practical tools to build skills to defend against hopelessness and overwhelm, and give you what you need to be resilient. Together we will listen deeply to who you truly are and address your needs.
