I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in depression, anxiety, personality disorders, the psychological impact of medical problems, eating disorders, and substance use disorder. I am also a CASAC (Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor). Having been a hospital based social worker at New York Presbyterian Hospital, I have teamed with psychiatrists and other physicians and am comfortable communicating with referring doctors. I work closely with a Cornell professor of psychiatry in my suite, who will quickly do a psychiatric assessment when appropriate and provide medication treatment, if needed.

Being human is a wondrous and challenging endeavor. Most of us walk around each day feeling inadequate, lost, anxious or depressed. And yet something inside us yearns for more. It takes tremendous courage to slow down and listen to this voice. To turn towards the painful feelings and try to understand them. I believe that with the right support, the hard stuff is actually the gateway to a life that is more purposeful, meaningful, integrated and peace-filled. In my office I create a warm and engaging space for clients to build self-awareness, heal old wounds and reflect on patterns that may not be helping them.

Therapy is a process of building a trusting relationship in which expression, exploration, awareness and healing occur. I provide a warm, nurturing environment in which this therapeutic relationship can develop and grow. Knowing that each client is unique, I tailor my approach to best meet each individual’s needs. As an art therapist and psychotherapist, I have worked with adults, adolescents, children and families in a variety of settings. My creative methods include both traditional “talk” therapy as well as the use of art materials to foster expression and facilitate the process.

I offer a safe, positive, empathetic, and productive clinical environment that addresses individual needs. My treatment approach offers hopeful solutions without stigma, judgment, or empty labels. I challenge self-deception while encouraging assertiveness, authenticity, resilience, and conscious awareness. My style is interactive and engaging. Attention is placed on the patient's immediate experience and constructively expressing what is most real and alive in their inner world. When fears and barriers are shared in this relationship of trust, we set the groundwork for new possibilities and healing.

Stress, anxiety and depression can surface as reactive anger, sadness, as isolating from others, and just feel exhausting. I work with adults (many men) to remove obstacles, find emotional clarity and meaning, and open the door to lasting change. I believe therapy to be a partnership where we build trust, become curious and collaborate on how best to remove blocks and old patterns, and acquire tools along the way toward a more fulfilled life. I seek to empower adults who struggle with trauma/PTSD, grief, at-risk behaviors, self-esteem, relationship and attachment difficulties, the codependency-narcissism bond, and life transitions.

If you grew up in a household with abusive, narcissistic, codependent, addicted, or otherwise struggling parents, and now experience distress with feeling good-enough, finding fulfilling connections with other people, depression and anxiety, setting boundaries, and making sense of your reactions to various situations, then I can help. Also, if you are just having trouble with relationships - perhaps it's hard to make good connections with other people, or you are feeling isolated and are confused about how that has come about, then I can help you with figuring that out and developing the kinds of relationships you ultimately want.

To accept life's major changes with grace and dignity can be excruciatingly difficult. And yet, it is a challenge to welcome because when approached with careful consideration, it invites self-definition and intentional living. Are psychic wounds or limiting self-beliefs holding you back? What matters most to you? The Chinese sage, Lao Tsu, said, "If you don't change direction, you will end up where you are heading." Are you happy with your direction? If not, come see me. I listen carefully and help you find your way. I am an active, fully-engaged therapist.
