I am triply-licensed in NY, PA, and CT, and I specialize in trauma work with EMDR, as well as the life experience to work with autistic professionals and the struggles they face.
You've been putting in so much effort for a while, but life isn’t going as planned. It seems like everyone, including you, is less than happy with the outcomes. As a result, you’re trapped in fear surrounding what to do next with regard to: your recent loss, your parenting, your relationships, your personal growth, or anything else that is high stakes for you to “just get it right.” You’re a person who works hard but feels you have little to show for how fast your mind and your wheels spin.

I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, autism, OCD, and related conditions.
Accepting new patients! Are you tired of feeling anxious, stressed, or stuck in your life? If so, I'm here to help. I LOVE working with people that are ready to make a change! You see, effective therapy takes work. The type of therapy that I do, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is very active, collaborative, and educational. During our sessions, we'll practice new skills ("tools") to help you reduce anxiety, improve mood, and feel more in control of your life. The advantage of this approach is that many people experience notable improvements in just 3-4 months. This is many times faster than traditional "talk" therapy.
