I have been a therapist in private practice for 20+ years. As a therapist I utilize a range of modalities and fit the modality to the needs of the individual rather than the individual to the modality. I have worked as a consultant to a special program for individuals who have a history of sexual assault and violence as well as family violence and, in addition, have taught for 15 + years at Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service. I have worked successfully with relationship difficulties, employment difficulties as well as with those with a history of PTSD, mood disorders and marital conflict.

Throughout life we can encounter many roadblocks and, in some cases, very traumatic experiences that make us question whether we have the strength to continue, believe in people, or pursue our dreams. We tend to fixate on experiences beyond the here and now, identifying ourselves with the past or worrying about the future while missing the opportunity to achieve inner joy and peace. I specialize in treating adults and teenagers with depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. During counseling sessions, I use the evidence-based principles of CBT, MBCBT, DBT, ACT, and Mind-Body Connection therapy.

In the current society we live in, buzzwords from the psychology field are being used widely. This has allowed for a drastic change in how therapy is perceived. From that, something else surfaced: the concept of modern loneliness, an issue that seems to be all around us like an invisible, yet quantifiable, statistic. We constantly hear about self-care, self-worth, self-love and boundaries as remedies for all challenges we face. The need for connection with the self is essential to a healthy life but to what extent have we decided the focus on the self will lead us to relatedness and responsibility for others?

In the process of navigating life, we naturally encounter obstacles.
