I have served as supervising psychologist for a group practice and have a private practice serving the greater Nassau Area. I specialize in working with children with developmental delays, divorce, loss, ADHD, as well as anxiety and depression.

I also work with adults on issues around parenting, personal relationships and growth.

While earning my doctorate in child and school psychology at New York University, I had the opportunity to work in hospitals, schools and private practice providing psychotherapy and administering evaluations to children , adolescents and adults. While I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, I have a passion for working with adolescents/teenagers and young adults and guiding them to raise self-awareness, encourage self-esteem and self-love and ultimately make positive changes to become happier individuals.

I am direct and focused on the issues that my patients bring to me. My 36 years of experience with children and parents afford me great advantage over those who have had no experience within school districts. In addition, my years of concurrent psychoanalytic training and social work have further sensitized me to allow me to help patients with all their major life issues. I am dedicated to my practice of adults, teens and children whom I help with all their problems that life brings.

I can help if you have a child with behavioral or emotional problems. I can also help you if you are an adult suffering with anxiety, depression, or problems with your relationships. Once we share an understanding of the problem/diagnosis, I use supportive evidence based cognitive behavioral therapy tailored to your expressed needs. With children , I always fully involve the parents in treatment. With couples, I provide effective and exciting sessions that improve relationships by improving communication. I love dogs and specializes in pet bereavement therapy. Patients are welcome to bring their dogs to the office.

As a therapist I partner with clients to address obstacles interfering in their quality of life. My therapeutic style is a cognitive behavioral approach also applying psychodynamic and holistic strategies.

I consider it a great privilege to help my clients with their most personal struggles and it is with this mind-set that I seek to provide a safe and compassionate space to begin our work together.

Taking the first step and reaching out for help can seem initially intimidating, but once you have begun you will be moving toward positive change in your life.

I will also work to help you recognize your strengths and attributes that guide the process of improving your overall functioning.

I bring years of experience working with children as young as 3 with play therapy, and as young as 93! My practice has organically moved to working with children , teens, and their parents, and I love it! I am comfortable using all modes of therapy and have found the most successful for children and teens is CBT, DBT, ERP and positive psychology (for parents too). However, I truly believe the most important requirement is for a connection to be established between therapist and client. I pride myself on being able to connect with so many clients leading to their successes. I look forward to meeting and helping you too!

Life is an ongoing journey where we learn through our experiences, both good and bad. Making the decision to begin therapy is a scary, but courageous one.

Using a variety of evidence based treatment approaches, my therapy style is person-centered, and strength based.

Finding a therapist today is hard. You may have a hundred questions. Do they have availability? Do they take my insurance? Will I and/or my child click with them? Therapists are not one size fits all. Sometimes you have to shop around a little bit. I want to make this as easy as possible for you, because asking for help should not be hard. My main goal is to help you as much as I can, and to create a non-judgmental space where you can speak freely about your life and any challenges you are facing. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns, and I will help in any way I can, whether I am the therapist for you or not!
