Teletherapy for Nyack, NY

You’re an awakened woman in midlife…yet you feel alone and long for a real sense of purpose. It’s taken you 40+ years of life to awaken to the realization that personal accomplishments—career, family, relationships, spiritual seeking—are not enough to give you a true sense of purpose. There has to be something more. Let’s work together like archaeologists to unearth the gem that is your true self. Together, we’ll brush off the decades-old soil of unhealthy relational habits, negative self-talk, funky boundaries, and self-doubt, so that you can step into your purpose in life—supporting younger generations by living as your true self.

You or your child/teen have the power to make positive changes in order to live a happier, more fulfilling life. You may be thinking about improving relationships, coping more effectively with daily stress, or becoming more successful academically or in a career. Unfortunately, sometimes stress, anxiety, & depression make it difficult to make the changes you truly want. I aim to empower my clients so that they discover (or re-discover) the inner-strength needed to believe in themselves, learn new coping strategies, & achieve their goals.

I am the director of Hudson Valley Mental Health, a practice specialized in helping children, adolescents (and their parents!) and adults with anxiety, OCD, phobias and panic in New York and New Jersey.

Are you experiencing low mood, lack of motivation, low self-esteem or negative thoughts? Is your anxiety and worry getting in the way of experiencing life to the fullest? Are you going through a difficult transitional time like becoming a new parent, starting college or going through a separation or a divorce? Or perhaps you are you a survivor of trauma seeking healing and guidance?

Great to meet you! I am a Dance/Movement Psychotherapist, my eyes are trained to see what our words cannot express...and that's where the magic happens. Within sessions, I often use visualization, movement, and explore what our words may not be able to express.

There are legos all over the floor. And none of them seem to connect anymore. You shove them into a basket, but you know you’re just delaying the inevitable. It’s time to put the pieces back together before it’s too late. She’s a good kid, but now she’s constantly overwhelmed and goes from bubbly to upset in 60 seconds flat. Too much screen time, but it’s the only time she’s content. You worry for her, her future, and your relationship. You’re afraid of being a “bad mom.” It wasn’t supposed to be like this. You read all the parenting books. You’ve tried everything from punishment to outright bribery, but nothing works. Now what?
