If you are reading this you are making a courageous decision to find a therapist and change the patterns of your life. Welcome! I have been a licensed therapist for 34 years and I am continuously inspired by the strength, insight, clarity, and wisdom that is revealed in the safety of the therapeutic setting. My approach is client centered and I utilize cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic modalities as indicated by individual needs. I am very excited about the practical application of neuroscience that invites us to use the focus of the mind to harness the power of attention to enhance our lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York with experience working with anxiety, depression, emotion regulation difficulties, family and relationship issues, identity, stress, and life transitions. My prior experience includes working with young adults within college counseling centers at NYU, Pratt Institute and Suffolk County Community College. I am also experienced working with seniors, veterans and military families.

The journey of life is one filled with joy, happiness, sadness, disappointments, loss and renewal. I feel my goal as a psychologist is to enable a child, adolescent, young adult, and adult find the strength to review life's troubling issues and form new perceptions which enables different outlooks on problems. I feel the only problems in life are situations that can not be resolved. Many times the resolutions are not what we thought life would offer us, but that is what we have.

My clients seek holistic well-being, combining psychology and Ayurvedic wisdom. They face challenges like stress, anxiety, or purposelessness, desiring balance, growth, and inner peace. Committed to healing, they want to uncover purpose, heal from trauma, improve relationships, and find contentment. They choose me for my multidisciplinary approach, expertise, and compassionate support on their transformative journey. Together, we work toward resilience, harmony, and a more fulfilling life.

My ideal client is one that is motivated for change; one that recognizes that what they have been doing or trying to do is not working presently. My ideal client is willing to consider alternatives and open-minded to possibilities. They are seeking a therapist who is oriented toward relationships, those they have with themselves and others, and with the multiple systems, contexts, and cultures within which each client exists and functions.

As a clinical psychologist with over 30+ years of experience, I believe the purpose of therapy is to work together to face issues until they are resolved. It is important to feel some relief. As a good listener I have strong empathetic skills. I provide a warm, accepting and non-judgmental setting where a positive alliance can be formed. Therapy is a place to feel understood, to unload, share, but is also result oriented. Therefore, my approach is interactive. I work with children,adolescents, adults, families and couples.

I know it is hard and I have been there myself. You want to feel better about yourself and life, achieve your goals, or at least figure out what they are so imagine being free of anxiety, doubt, depression, intra- personal and inter-personal conflict and more. I care and can help you via my coaching and/or therapy. Some issues but obviously not all that I encounter and work with are parenting, marriage, friendship, career, family, business.Let me again say I have been there myself and that will help me to help you...
