Most of us go through life with uncontrolled thoughts allowing our minds to dictate perceptions and meaning to situations we encounter, often in unproductive and/or distressful ways.

I have been practicing Mental Health therapy in New York since 2013. I have always found myself in the field starting from my time in the U.S. Navy. I have over 18 years working, living and learning internationally as well as domestically. My practice focuses on adults experiencing anxiety, career changes, family dynamics and phases of life. I do not have hospital privileges nor prescribe medications.

My client focus is working with those who hope to repair relationships past or present, have a desire to uncover past trauma and a curiosity or willingness to be open about life shaping experiences throughout their childhood and early adolescence. I aim to support clients who wish to bring their authentic self to the space, hone their inner strength, and wish to be a more confident version of themselves. Goals may include but are not limited to; cultivate strong and positive relationships, increase self-esteem and self-worth, find inner strength and power, as well as discover new life passions through the creative arts therapies.

I really like doing therapy, and I want to help you. Treatment should be about getting to know you, helping you communicate better when you're in conflict, learning how to say your strong feelings more directly, and understanding what's going on in your relationships. While I'm the expert on psychology, I know that you are the expert of your life. We therefore have to work together. There are always better ways to cope with stress and to reach for your goals, but you must first clarify your ideas in order to make solid decisions. Thus, I lean on my 18 years of experience to help achieve this, judgment-free.

If traditional psychotherapy and/or medication did not adequately address the depression or anixety you have been experiencing then QEEG Biofeedback (Neurofeedback) training might be a good fit for you. Neurofeedback can help you retrain your brain to operate in a healthier state. Training can result in increased productivity, improved mood, mental clarity, greater ability to emotional self-regulate, and increase resilience when faced with stress. Take the next step to forging new pathways in your brain using Neurofeedback training and begin your journey to a better “You.”
