I work with people to gain insight into their best selves and to access their strengths to effectively address life challenges. Therapy offers an opportunity to be heard, get validated, and to gain resilience. In an atmosphere of kindness and respect, I utilizes a solution focused, strength based, and cognitive behavioral framework. Let's practice trusting in the process together by taking the first step and making that call."

I believe in the good nature of most people and the need to grow and learn from our life experiences. At times in our life, it becomes important to stop and recognize our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can interfere with who we want to be and hope to become.

"The psychotherapy process is an exploration. As we safely explore the problem or pain that has motivated you to seek services, you will make discoveries about yourself and the nature of your relationships with others through the development of insight. You will also gain a new experience of yourself and others through the reparative therapeutic relationship that you and I will forge, correcting what may have gone awry in prior relationships. Through insight and a corrective experience, you will be in a better position to change what you can and accept what you cannot, ultimately permitting healing and growth to occur."

"I have been in private practice for over 28 years as a licensed psychologist, providing counseling in a confidential and professional manner using primarily a cognitive behavior therapy approach. Problems addressed include anxiety (phobias, OCD, panic), depression, family issues (parenting and relationship problems), stress, sleep disorders, and relatively esoteric problems such as trichotillomania and Tourettes disorder. My treatment philosophy tends to include developing a collaborative relationship between myself and my clients, and emphasizing the recognition and development of strengths as preferred way to address problems and weaknesses, as well as a legitimate goal in its own right."

"As a licensed professional counselor and a board certified, registered art therapist, I have found that participants in the art therapy process are able to address important issues such as adjustment to divorce, overcoming trauma, enhancing self esteem, managing depression, coping with loss, and increasing self-awareness. Artistic ability is not necessary for this process to take place. Any form of expression using the art materials will provide the opportunity for the participant to find resolution to conflicts. As an art therapist, I can assist the participant to move from non-verbal expression through art making to verbal communication."

"Experiencing difficulty coping with a major life transition? Want help getting back to normal? Life changing events can be difficult to process emotionally. Being connected to the present moment in a relaxed body can help us better understand and appreciate our true selves. Too often we are stuck in the mistakes/misfortunes of our past or the uncertainties of our future. Change is difficult and at times uncomfortable, yet it is necessary in order to grow and thrive. Being able to be in the moment and address difficult situations as they are and without judgment is vital to making change easier to manage."

"The atmosphere of my office is warm, accepting and open. Clients in my practice receive an initial assessment which includes their needs, goals, and dreams. My clients are individuals, couples and families who are experiencing problems with life and their inter-personal relationships. They are seeking relief from these problems and hoping to achieve peace of mind. I view a counselor not as a authority figure, but, as a guide, to suggest, question and assist in their journey. My office hours are early afternoon to mid-evening."

"When people come to therapy they sometimes have a list of concerns and are not sure how to address them. I am an LCSW & LCADC who has been practicing for 21 years. I received my MSW from NYU and I have an interactive style. Some of the conditions I treat include bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, postpartum, & ADHD. I use CBT and was certified in DBT. I treat teenagers, adults, & families. I will diagnose conditions, provide therapeutic interventions appropriate for that diagnosis, and will provide education regarding additional referrals to additional supports if needed. I can also provide clinical supervision for LCSWs."

"People often seek therapy when facing challenging times at work, or with a significant other or family member. "If only they'll change, then I will be happy and peaceful." While some can easilly embrace change, many see it as daunting and threatening. It doesn't have to be that way."
