Oxford Therapists in Nyack, NY

I am a counselor and psychotherapist experienced in helping people who are dealing with stressful events and emotional issues such as: depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns, life transitions, and ADHD and learning disabilities. My focus in therapy is to help you solve the problems that are getting in your way, so you can once again, feel better. I utilize a strengths perspective, that is, exploring personal strengths and attributes (as well as weaknesses)to enable you to work through your difficulties in a way that reflects who you truly are.

As an integrative, multi-disciplinary therapist, it's important to me that I help you unleash your true potential so you can lead a life that you want to celebrate! While we can't change difficult past situations, we can understand and resolve challenges in your life NOW. By applying integrative therapy approaches, we'll unearth whatever may be holding you back from experiencing YOUR fulfilled life. If you're looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation or just ready to move in a new direction in life, I look forward to working with you toward your aspirations.

Listen, not to respond, but to understand are words I live by both professionally and personally.

Together we explore patterns of behavior, where they come from, and how to make changes to grow towards a more authentic existence with deeper self-awareness & acceptance.

Many clients enter therapy feeling stuck and incapable of change.
