You or your child will REWILD—untethering from limitations of fear, distraction, apathy, outdated beliefs and unhealthy behavior patterns to the empowered freedom of courage, creativity, passion, instinctual wisdom, boundless joy, potent self-healing capacities, and radical authenticity that allows your true self to shine!

The clients I work with range from 7 years old to 85. Typically the clients who seek my help are experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, relationship problems, phase of life difficulties, or memory problems. The goals clients have are typically to achieve a more balance life and mitigate their mental health difficulties.

I am trained in using CBT, EMDR, and other evidence-based approaches to help people make lasting changes to their self-image that lead to real changes in their lives. My approach is hands on, goal-oriented, strengths based, and gender/identity affirming. I help clients challenge unrealistic patterns of thinking, deconstruct who they are from who they have learned to be, learn how to feel safe and regulated in their body, identify options for difficult life situations that align with their values, and learn the skills to meet their needs e.g. assertiveness, boundary setting, communication, mindfulness, relaxation and grounding.

I am a Clinical Psychologist & Licensed Acupuncturist providing Psychotherapy, Bio/Neurofeedback, Acupuncture, Oriental Medicine & Herbal Interventions. I work extensively with individuals suffering from stress-related mental and physical conditions (for example, headache, gastro-intestinal disorders, hypertension, insomnia, depression, anxiety, memory/concentration problems). Treatment involves examination of psychological/emotional issues as they are intertwined with one's physical/somatic self, helping individuals to regulate unhealthy emotional and physical responses. Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine may be utilized as an alternative or supplemental means of promoting MindBody balance. These modalities are also highly effective for optimal performance training, smoking cessation, weight reduction, etc.

As a trauma informed holistic psychotherapist, I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional dysregulation, behavioral issues, post-traumatic stress disorder, and complex trauma.

I was the Director of Social Work at Northwell Zucker Hillside Hospital and currently the Director of Social Work at Mount Sinai West. As a result of my extensive experience I have worked with complex situations encompassing psychiatric and medical needs.

Every human being has the right to pursue happiness without being inundated with emotional and behavioral problems. Happiness is not optional but mandatory. Everyone deserves a fulfilling life. To achieve optimal success and happiness, we must maintain emotional health as well as physical health. If we lose this emotional component, physical health is not achievable, and vice versa.

xx I am currently accepting new clients for morning & early afternoon appointments xx Are you feeling overwhelmed, sad or anxious? Have you ever felt that you couldn’t share your story with anyone because you feel that they just couldn’t possibly understand or that they would somehow judge you? We all have a story, and often we have to just push it aside just to get through our day until one day we realize that our story has taken over and is now interfering with our daily life. I will work to help you find the right tools to rewrite your story while in a calming nonjudgmental space.

There is nothing wrong with you for feeling afraid, anxious, depressed, angry, depleted of energy, numb, lost, and confused. In fact, your courage and your willingness to be vulnerable are what make you resilient. Your body is responding to its environment, and that’s normal. It is sending you messages and we are going to decipher those messages together. Be so kind to yourself as you are about to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

I view psychotherapy as a journey of self-discovery and growth. If you are feeling unfulfilled, anxious or sad psychotherapy can help. Each person has his or her own history and life circumstances. Together, we will identify and explore your patterns in order to figure out what prevents you from feeling better. Hope and understanding are the first steps in your journey toward positive change. We will carefully observe your feelings and behavior at a pace that is comfortable for you. It is a journey worth taking!

Life poses many challenges. We are burdened by our circumstances, and carry the past with us into our present. All the aspects of our lives together can leave us bewildered, anxious, angry, sad, or afraid. This colors our thinking, decisions and the situations we create. And it leads us to wonder: how can things be better?
