Seeking help is hard. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has practiced for decades focusing on assisting Individuals of teenagers, adults, couples and families. I utilize insight oriented and cognitive behavioral techniques, psycho-education, as well as many other therapeutic concepts to promote a supportive atmosphere so that my clients gain acceptance and control over their issues.

Change is always possible. I work from a strengths-based perspective, and I believe that the work of psychotherapy is to help people access untapped resources toward health and vitality.

I am a clinical therapist and professor who practices in New York and Massachusetts.

In a safe and respectful setting, utilizing traditional and holistic therapies, you can develop skills that bring you into greater partnership with you. As you come to truly know and understand your own unique journey, you will be led to skills that benefit the whole of you. When you feel comfortable within yourself, inner calm becomes readily accessible. Relationships that are sticky become fluid and more enjoyable. Whatever your personal issues, learning to understand and trust your own unique experience becomes the heart of a life well-lived. This is true for adults who see me individually, for couples, and with older kids/teens.

As a psychotherapist and healer for many years it has been my privilege to offer and provide help and comfort to people in distress. Experience has taught me that we all struggle to recover from the pains of the past, deal with the challenges of the present and the insecurities of the future, in our efforts to live the best lives that we can. This often seems very difficult if not impossible to accomplish alone. A strong and nurturing therapeutic relationship is a powerful and stable foundation for dealing with these challenges to our well-being, especially in these very troubling and uncertain times.

Are you struggling to meet societal, cultural, and even your own personal expectations? If so, this can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled, often navigating life with a blurred vision of purpose, merely surviving instead of thriving. I have 12+ years of experience providing a wide range of therapeutic and support services to individuals, couples, and families of diverse backgrounds and would like to welcome you to begin your healing journey. I prioritize the utilization of strength-based & client centered approach to help my clients feel safe, heard, and empowered.

I work with families, couples, and individuals navigating the intricate realms of anxiety, depression, and relational dynamics.

My focus is on introspection & interpersonal relationships. I integrate a traditional and holistic approach in a safe and peaceful setting. I tailor to your personal needs and wants by removing the masks and uncovering your personal truth/individualized self. My practice incorporates skill building to help you understand why you make the choices you make and to live your life through self-acceptance, self-love, and confidence

Whether you're experiencing a bump, hurdle, roadblock, it can feel difficult, if not seemingly impossible, to find a path through this on our own. I will create a safe space to help you navigate through those rough patches and assist you to become a more confident navigator yourself. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, substance use, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship conflicts. In therapy sessions, I use a variety of counseling approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic therapy, as I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Do you and your partner have a lot of love but find yourselves struggling with communication? Do unresolved issues feel like roadblocks in your relationship? Do you want to regain intimacy and closeness with one another?

With a combination of creative tools, practical methods, and formal clinical training in psychotherapy, we will work collaboratively to achieve your resolutions. I strive to make therapy feel like a safe place for you. My approach could be described as eclectic which caters to your unique needs. I integrate the useful aspects of psychoanalysis, CBT, family systems therapy, MBT, humanistic and holistic approaches, my own therapeutic relational style, and more. You are the expert of your own life, and my goal is to enable you to gain insight, self-awareness, assist you in identifying patterns and working toward the changes you desire.

Have you experienced hard times that left you feeling hopeless and disconnected? Do you feel like you put up a front to the outside world but on the inside your unhappy and dissatisfied with life? Do you feel like no one understands what you are going through? If so, therapy can create the change needed to living a better life. In my practice I work on helping you regain joy, connection, and discover your best self.

Asking for help is one of the strongest things you can do, but it can also be one of the hardest because of past experience of not being heard, believed, or supported. Extreme stressors, life transitions, and traumatic events - including new or ongoing health conditions - affect every aspect of our lives and can make relationships - with family, friends, colleagues, and even healthcare providers - very challenging. The impact of these events can make us feel isolated, misunderstood, and unsupported (even by the well-intentioned). They can also lead us to make choices we aren't proud of and limit our enjoyment of life in general.
