Due to COVID-19 and societal tension, we are experiencing increased anxiety & depression. As a licensed clinical psychologist with the NY State Office of Mental Health, I am trained in providing therapy to help cope with feelings that accompany such stressful times. I work with individuals, couples, families & adolescents. We can find solutions that will improve your quality of life & your relationships, as you adapt to a new normal or fix ongoing issues. Fees are affordable, as I do not take insurance. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with those who have intellectual challenges, (like autism), &/or their families.

My ideal clients are people who may be struggling to find their purpose in life. They may be afraid of change as well as being at a crossroad in life. Also, these clients have dreams and are ready to put the work in to achieve their dreams.

I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment, and cooperatively assists my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment. Rather than adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation. As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I considers myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to counseling.

I provide client centered motivational interviewing. Due to our current state of affairs, I am also supporting individuals struggling with isolation and medical concerns due to pandemic, as well as emerging from this crisis. I have extensive experience with family/adolescent, LGBTQIA+, HIV, geriatric population, drug treatment, sex/food addiction, formally incarcerated/legally involved, and life-coaching and long-term counseling. Excellent engagement skills and outcomes. In field for 20 years. Providing in/out of home counseling, as well as telehealth services. I am a highly supportive, working with and towards your unique goals.

Do you feel anxious, depressed, or frustrated with yourself? I help individuals understand why they fall into self-defeating patterns and then help them choose more empowering ways of living. It's not always easy for people to learn to like themselves better or to forgive themselves for their mistakes. As a formerly harsh self-critic, I know how to guide people to become happier and freer by using gentle humor and self-compassion to rediscover their fundamental self-worth. Drawing upon my personal transformation, I can help you and your relationships thrive.

I will meet you exactly where you are at in life. Together, you and I will explore what you do, how you feel, and the triggers behind it all. I can do the same for your child or your parent too. Children, adults, and seniors – at any stage or crossroad – are welcomed on this journey. As a passionate life coach and credentialed mental health provider, I aim to identify and help manage the root causes of decisions and habits. We can accomplish this in group therapy or one-on-one sessions, in-person or virtually.

I am experienced in helping clients recapture the person they previously were. Many clients say to me, "I just want to go back to being the person I used to be", and that's exactly what we focus on. Clients also often say to me, "I just don't know what to do or what I want", and we work together until we figure out how to alleviate their confusion. We achieve this in various ways, most often through exploration of the presenting issues, examination of past relationships and significant experiences as well as decision-making and behavioral patterns.

We are inclusive and we welcome clients from all races, ethnicities, genders, religious beliefs, etc. We believe in helping you and your family to live better lives. We provide mental health services that treat and address the effects of many of the concerns prevalent in Latinx, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities: chronic stress, trauma, depression and anxiety as a result of poverty, insecure housing, racism, harassment, and discrimination. For families with children suspected of developmental delays, Autism or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, we offer diagnostic evaluations.

Carl Jung once said "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become" As a trauma informed therapist, I have learned that healing is not linear, it takes time and courage. I am glad you're here. I have over eight years of experience working with people of all ages and different backgrounds. The work I have done has focused on people from marginalized communities who have experienced trauma, such as abuse, gender-based violence, domestic violence, immigration and much more.

You have made the first step! Mental Health is the only part of our wellness we tend to neglect. Take a minute to think about it. If one of your loved one's were to say or complain about chest pain, I’m sure you would not hesitate to seek help. We want to see our loved one's live a long and healthy life and if we could assist in that process, we are going to do everything in our power to do so. Wouldn't you agree? Then what about our mental health? This is what we tend to ignore. 

We are often engaging in life through the means that we have been taught by all of those who have come before us. Life has become a perpetual cycle where bliss, peace, harmony, and all of the other facets that make life worth living seem to escape us more and more. Instead, we are trapped in depression, anxiety, distrust, judgment and more often than not our physical temples are suffering. Collectively, a shift in perception is needed. This starts with the individual.

My Ideal client is someone who is looking to actively make changes in their lives; or even just begin expressing themselves. I welcome all individuals regards of their needs or goals as my personal objective is to support anyone and everyone accomplish their dreams. They're someone who likes to be a bit out of the box and is open to trying different things to see how we can resolve it together. Being a team player with open communication is something I always strive for as I am looking to be your ultimate support!

I have a strong desire to help others work through challenges and difficulties. There is such a stigma attached to acknowledging and admitting that we may be having issues with our mental health that I would like to be a source of help. Doing this work also means there is the potential to help individuals work through their challenges and difficulties, which could improve their quality of life.
