You have a story. It is full of experiences, some good and some not what you expected to face in your life. You may be struggling to make sense of it all and feel like no one could ever understand what you are feeling, what you think, or why you do things the way you do. You wish you had support but often feel that no one is there and no one hears you. I hear you. You are a survivor - a warrior - you can't be anything less than that getting as far as you have. You have hopes and dreams and what you may not realize is that you have the strength to overcome. Your best is yet to come!

I am a Mental Health Clinician licensed in New York with over 8 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, parenting problems, career challenges, relationship issues, OCD, ASD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have dealt with grief and loss and discrimination. My therapy style is inclusive, collaborative, warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.

Many of the clients I work with are dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues. They may need help with learning to communicate effectively, manage their emotions better and learn healthy ways to cope with stress. We also set goals related to better time management, improving self-respect and setting healthy boundaries. Some clients have a history of trauma or other adverse childhood experiences which are impacting their present day functioning. For these individuals, having a safe place to be vulnerable, and heal from these past experiences is essential. I love being a therapist & helping people live their best life!

You are the person that people often describe as intelligent, resourceful, humorous, well-liked, talented; an individual that accomplishes whatever they set out to do. You strive to excel at whatever you take on & some may even call you a perfectionist. You can't seem to understand why, or how, you continue to feel stuck, overwhelmed, tense, or perhaps, even sad or hopeless. The facts suggest you possess many of the positive qualities others seem to admire, and from afar, you appear to be someone that seemingly has it all! So why do you continue to struggle in your relationships, work or interests? Why don't you feel "enough?"

Do you want to be better understood and better understand your partner, but don't know how? Have the ups and downs of life caused conflict or distance between you? Are the stresses of day to day life taking their toll on your family's relationship? Are you and/or your children going through divorce or loss? Everyone needs help sometimes- we are hard-wired to need connection. When we are feeling isolated or unseen, our day to day life feels emptier and our mental and physical health pay the price.

Connection. As humans- connection is crucial to our existence and wellbeing. This concept also undoubtedly applies to the relationship one has with their therapist. The therapeutic relationship is especially potent, as it sets the tone to allow for the safe exploration of trauma, regret and perceived failures. It challenges the negative thoughts, belief system, biases, guilt and self sabotage. It allows for the clarification of goals. To witness achievements in personal growth and insight. This relationship is ultimately much more than a conduit for the application of years of education and training, but an alliance for change.

Sometimes it can feel overwhelming trying to navigate life after experiencing a significant loss. I recognize that grief is not something you can just “get over” or “move on” from, but rather it’s about finding your healthy balance between processing your grief and being able to be present and think about your future. Grief is something that everyone experiences in their own unique way. Allow me to help you heal and gain a better understanding of yourself and your own personal process of grief. I will work with you to figure out what it is that you need and how to effectively communicate that with others.

Our journey together will involve motivational tools and a solution-focused approach. Together, we will explore your strengths and utilize them to empower you during your most difficult times. I often use humor to create a safe space where you can openly talk while receiving acceptance and understanding. I will assist you with managing your pressing concerns and will be your advocate every step of the way so that you can live a healthy, productive life.

You might appear to be holding it all together on the outside, but inside you feel like you’re about to all fall apart. Or maybe you’re wearing your emotions on your sleeve and others have told you that you don’t seem like yourself. Sometimes you find relief by coping the best way you know how, but it provides only temporary relief. You may be looking into therapy because you don’t know where else to turn, feeling like a burden to friends and family, or maybe even ashamed that you’re struggling. You’re not sure how to help yourself, but you are sure that you want to feel better.

My counseling style leans toward a person-centered, solution focused approach. This approach remains eclectic in nature as each individual brings unique issues to the table and should be treated with the type of therapy most beneficial to their recovery. Over the last 15 years, I have worked with individuals of all ages, with a multitude of reasons in which to seek therapeutic resolve.

If you find yourself feeling stuck, unmotivated, worried, or lost, you are not alone. No matter our age, identity, or background, we all struggle with issues of growth, change, learning, love, and loss. These things are often part of life, but they're not always a matter of psychological conditions. If you're seeking the knowledge, skills, and support to overcome your challenges (but not a diagnosis or prescription), then my holistic coaching and hypnosis services are designed for you.

As a clinician, I have worked with many individuals with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Together, we will work to identify stressors in your life and the impact this makes on your daily life and experience. You will drive your treatment goals with gentle guidance in a safe and comfortable environment. This is your first step toward meaningful and lasting change in your life.
