Welcome to my practice. Reaching out and seeking help is a brave first step. I fully understand and appreciate how difficult seeking help is. For 19 years, I have been helping adults and adolescents face life difficulties. At times, these difficulties stem from life circumstances and at times they come from within but they almost always feel overwhelming. The good news, is that help is just a phone call away. I have helped people struggling with depression, anxiety, work and school difficulties, marital and relationships issues.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and counseling to individuals, couples, and families. I have worked effectively with clients to improve their relationships, move through major life transitions, define and achieve career goals, manage depression and anxiety, and parent effectively. I can help you get from where you are to where you want to be. I believe that, with support and through empowerment, people can change at a very core level and live a more balanced life.

For over 25 years, I have been collaborating with my clients to address life's challenges with increased ease. In these uncertain times, I provide a safe environment to work through the anxiety associated with current crises and to address the stress we are all facing due to COVID, and a divisive political climate. My interactive style helps modify self defeating patterns which can block your efforts towards growth and change. I can help you enhance your self awareness, empower a greater sense of personal choice, navigate personal dilemmas, and achieve greater satisfaction at work, and in your personal and family relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a collaborative and energetic approach. I love working with people and being a witness to their stories and life journeys. In my years of practice, I have worked with adult men and women to help them cope with anxiety, depression, life transitions and adjustment related issues.

Are you wondering where to turn now? Any personal challenge also represents a valuable opportunity to make choices more consciously, with intentionality and care. We all have within ourselves impulses toward growth, healing and connection. My therapeutic method is interactive, respectful and empowering; recent findings in positive psychology and trauma studies have proven illuminating for my work with clients, as has narrative theory. I help people discover new directions for themselves, in their circumstances, and within their relationships. I especially enjoy counseling couples at different stages in their evolution, having trained in the Emotionally Focused, Gottman, and PREPARE/ENRICH approaches.

My patients come to treatment to open up repressed parts of themselves. Sometimes, my patients are struggling to integrate family backgrounds, religious,or cultural with their lives today. They have often succeeded in their professional lives but feel stuck in their romantic or interpersonal lives.My patients usually bring a curiosity about how their history effects their present lives.They are interested in engaging in a treatment which examines this closely in order to understand why they are feeling blocked and to open up a greater sense of inner freedom in order to live more meaningful and fuller lives.

My goal is to guide clients through self-exploration, self-awareness and resilience building that transforms them into self-reliant individuals. I integrate psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), DBT, relational, and mindfulness-based techniques tailored to specific needs. The therapeutic relationship is a partnership explored within a safe, non-judgmental environment, working at a pace that is comfortable for the client; we can explore short or long-term counseling. Together, we can work towards resolving feelings of sadness, anxiety, and understanding maladaptive patterns, gaining insight to change problematic behaviors

Listening is an art and a science. Speaking with trust to a professional in a private and confidential space. It's still the best medicine we have. We call it "the talking cure" because is a transformative experience. For this I provide a healthy and creative environment where all my patients can grow, relax, auto-reflex, think deeply and make the best decision of their life for themselves, their love's ones, for partners in a difficult relationship, their children, family as a whole and impact positively life itself and the world permanently.

I has been trained as a psychologist, anthropologist and social worker. Upon coming to NY I've been invested in working in different places and agencies. I've been exposed to most types of emotional/psychological symptoms and conditions that I was comfortable to treat. My main focus is psychological trauma and recovery. I also treat mood disorders, anxiety related disorders among others. I work with families, dyads, children, adults or couples as an Infant Mental Health Provider. Treating Panic Disorders and phobias have been effective as well. Life is worthy, let's find ways to enjoy it.

Why do people seek help? I think people in great pain have somehow lost their ability to navigate in the world. Depression, anxiety, and fear renders a person helpless and one cannot summon their old ways of being. Recent trauma or unresolved issues can suddenly alienate a person from themselves. Often people are wrestling with unexamined fears or emotions that have long been dissociated. In the safety of the therapeutic space, the client can confront that which is most difficult with the aim of once again feeling whole, thus able to pursue, with energy and pleasure, their work and relationships.

I am a clinical social worker with 28 years experience. I work extensively with individuals and families dealing with depression, anxiety and grief work. I partner with schools and psychiatrists to provide the highest level of care.
