I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience and a post-doctorate degree in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis from New York University. Psychotherapy can help to create or restore a sense of balance between your needs and the demands of others.

Hi! I have been practicing addiction counseling for over 15 years, working with individuals, young adults and families. I expanded my practice to include mental health for the last 10 years and most recently began focusing on law enforcement/first responders. I work with individuals to determine what their goals are and help them achieve them. Individuals who are serious about their recovery and goals would be a great fit. Only you can change your future!

Therapy can be deemed as scary as one realizes they will have to become vulnerable in order to grow. I am a licensed mental health counselor with expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. Are you currently struggling with interpersonal relationships or cultural identity issues? I would love to work with you.

We all have the ability to heal from the experiences in life that have shaped us. I believe the process of healing is a process of reconnecting with life, with self, and with others. With openness, warmth, and humor, I am here to help you to step into the present while healing and claiming freedom from painful emotions and fears. I will help you in understanding conscious and unconscious influences on your daily life, bring awareness as they occur in the present, and create lasting change.

The way we feel, act, or react is not fully determined by external factors- regardless of the circumstances we are in, but also by our outlook on life and perspective toward specific situations. I believe in a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is provided in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I strive to support and assist clients on their journeys to create meaning in their lives, change or replace patterns of thinking and behaviors that are no longer working for them, develop greater self-awareness and deepen their relationships.

Navigating life can be a challenge. As a psychologist, I help you identify: (1) problem areas and patterns that are causing distress, (2) the source(s) of these issues, and (3) ways to enact change. Depending upon your individual characteristics, life experiences, history, and cultural background, difficulties can present themselves in numerous ways and color how we experience ourselves, our environment, and our relationships. Furthermore, external circumstances, often beyond our control, can cause or contribute to our struggles and it is important that we have appropriate and effective coping strategies to manage these.

Life's greatest challenges usually come during times of transition and change. It's when we are forced to accept and adapt a new way of thinking and/or living that we find ourselves unraveling and losing all sense of control of what we once knew...or thought we knew. I have spent the greater part of my career working with individuals who live with various neurological conditions such as Huntington's Disease, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, Dementia, Neuropathy and many others. I have helped not only the person living with the disease, but their care giver/s as well. I work with adults and seniors predominately.

Therapy is a form of truth telling. By sharing and owning our truth we gain autonomy over our stories and open the door for healing. To me, therapy is an art form–we are creating something, exploring it, shaping it, and looking at it together.

Attention...what does it take to get our attention? Usually, it's something unfamiliar. I work with individuals who experience a "symptom," a grief, a depression, an anxiety, a life-threatening illness, a crisis in an important relationship; a time when you are asked to pause, to pay attention to your self and bring curiosity to your life. A symptom is an invitation to look at the story of your life and visit where you have felt alone and where you need to come home to yourself in order to make this issue transform and experience more fulfillment.

I believe the therapeutic process is about relationship and connection. I love supporting people through the difficulties of life. In doing so, I love to laugh, joke, connect, be real, and down to earth. I have an audacious and thought provoking approach to treatment.

Through treatment I provide my clients with healthy challenges, and autonomy in guiding their own treatment. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients.

Has your relationship lost that “spark” that it once had? Do you and your partner find yourselves in the same cycle of fighting over seemingly meaningless things? Do you find yourself constantly on edge over things your partner says or does? Does it feel like there isn’t any romance, intimacy, or sex anymore? Do you feel stuck and hopeless? It can feel like you’re with a different person or someone that you don’t even know anymore. The arguments seem to happen more frequently and feel more intense. This leads to resentment and anger, which only continues the argumentative cycle. Being in this place can feel hopeless and hurtful.

I graduated from Pace University with my Master's Degree as a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and Substance Abuse Counselor. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy as each individual has specific treatment needs as each person's experiences and the emotional impact of those experiences are unique to that individual. This is why my theoretical approach is humanistic and client-centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Adler, and Gestalt.

My goal as a therapist is to find solutions that work for you on an individual basis.

Through various techniques and long-standing approaches, we’ll be able to figure out what behaviors and/or thoughts might be holding you back from living your best life, and find meaning in everyday situations.
