I believe that a better version of you is possible.

Making the effort to start and commit to therapy can be difficult to do - if you don't see progress, you can feel discouraged or even worse, hopeless. But there is hope and you do not have to do it alone.

As a psychologist, I see my clients as partners in the process of healing.

Your child's racing thoughts, nervous stomach and pounding heart is not going away. They are stuck in worried thoughts and behaviors that scare you both. You've read books, talked to friends and googled about anxiety,
OCD
and anger. It's not helping. Maybe situations like divorce or peer drama have taken a toll on their self esteem. Your once happy kid seems to have lost their confidence. You both want to see their self esteem rise again to feel stronger and more secure in who they are. It can feel overwhelming with so many therapy choices. How do you know you are choosing the best help for your child and your family?

Hello! Starting therapy can be a difficult process, but I am here to make it easier. My clients come to me because they are struggling with relationship issues, anxiety,
OCD
or depression, and feel like they are stuck and no matter what they have tried they can’t pull themselves out. They leave empowered, with specific tools that reshape how their brain, emotions, and behavior work. My clients understand themselves better than before and therefore begin to find the light at the end of the tunnel. They learn the steps and skills towards a happier, more productive life. I would love to assist you in the same way.

I've worked extensively with individuals living with anxiety,
OCD
, panic attacks, adjustment-related difficulties, and trauma.
I understand that asking for help from someone you've never met might feel uncomfortable. You've already taken a big first step. Know that I strive to offer a non-judgmental, respectful, warm, and supportive environment for all my clients. I think fit is important. That's why I like to offer a complimentary call so we can get an idea of what working together might be like. If we decide to work together, we'll personalize therapy using evidence-based and solution focused methods. We will also place focus on identifying patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to cope in more effective ways.

As a practicing psychologist licensed in New York State, I specialize in adolescents and their families. No matter how difficult or seemingly hopeless the situation, I work in a collaborative atmosphere to absorb clients' experiences and cultivate untapped resources in youth and families. I deal with a spectrum of psychological issues commonly related to youth and adults. The concerns may range from problems with mood, identity, adjusting to new situations, self-image, school, peer or adult relationships, impulsivity, communication or competence, to risk-taking, family crises and pressing circumstances of violence and anti-social behavior. These I approach from an attitude of possibility and positivity.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
OCD is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
