Ever feel like you're on a treadmill and going nowhere fast? That no matter what you do or how hard you try you just can't get past life's challenges? There are many moments in life that will cause anxiety, stress, aggravation, sadness, and despair. No matter your age, sex, or profession these symptoms can throw the best of us into a tail spin. The bottom line is that we're human and these are natural occurrences. Talking them out with someone who is willing to listen is the beginning of regaining a sense of stability and wellness.

Hi! Welcome to your first step on your self-awareness journey! I have worked in multiple clinical settings, including but not limited to ACS, homeless shelters, foster care, preventive services, teen pregnancy, outpatient therapy, the LGTBQI community, and juvenile justice. My professional experience has provided me with skills and knowledge of the effects that trauma, family, government systems, bullying, and poverty can have on an individual's day-to-day functioning. I am a firm believer in getting to the root of the problem with an emphasis on a collaborative approach to achieve and maintain long-term goals.

My practice focuses on treating individuals, couples and families who are tackling issues such as: marital & family conflict; stress, anxiety, depression & ADHD; as well as creating healthy boundaries and parenting styles. Moreover, I have extensive experience working directly with parents and teens. Have you been considering therapy? Have you been experiencing distress in your relationship or family? Have you been sad, angry, or irritable? Do you often feel frustrated or overwhelmed? Have you been experencing difficulty concentrating, or staying focused? Are you concerned about a child or loved one? If so, therapy might help.

Are you tired of feeling depressed or anxious? Are you suffering from a mood or personality disorder? Is your relationship in trouble and you constantly find yourselves arguing? As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I support my clients in identifying the thoughts and behaviors which have not been helpful to them over time and assist in developing healthy habits and coping mechanisms which will lead to happiness and success. I enjoy working with individuals who have a expressed a need to improve their lives and are ready to take the next step. I take great pride in and truly enjoy seeing improvement in the those with whom I work.

DUE TO THE CURRENT SITUATION WE ARE OFFERING VIDEO SESSIONS IF NEEDED. I have been coaching clients in the New York area for the past 20 years as they make positive, life-altering changes via individual, couples, family and group counseling. Through carefully guided exploration, my clients uncover behavioral patterns that keep them from the happiness they desire by learning strategies for managing stress, working through loss, creating loving, productive relationships, finding spiritual fulfillment and living more intentional, mindful lives.

We provide counseling and auxiliary services to seniors, the disabled, caregivers, and their families. ISS is committed to helping our clients develop the coping skills necessary to function at one's maximum ability by providing in-home counseling services. Through therapy, our counselors help clients find renewed enjoyment in life and increased emotional well-being. Counseling may also ameliorate the behavioral problems that come with chronic ailments, such as Alzheimer's disease. By addressing the mental health needs of seniors, the disabled, and caregivers, counseling can help lessen the frequency of hospitalization and enhance one's social life.

When life gets difficult, sometimes asking for help seems like an impossible task. Whether it is relationship issues, financial stress, or day-to-day lack of motivation. My main priority is that, when stepping into a session, you understand that you’re entering a safe space and the beginning of a partnership. The foundations of this partnership are empathy, compassion, and support. Therapy is a journey that I am proud to be a part of. In this partnership, I will work to understand potential triggers and build a treatment plan with the goal of releasing these mental strains.

I believe every dysfunction, every disorder, and every pain was somehow born to cope with life and protect the best parts of us. In the journey towards healing, we all need a power greater than ourselves (call it God, love, or family...) to provide acceptance, support, and a safe place to unravel. Counseling is an invitation to come and be; to take an honest look at yourself for who and what you really are; to realize your issues make sense; and to have compassion for all parts of you so you can holistically heal and function at your full potential.

A successful therapeutic relationship will be supportive, empowering, positive, but also difficult, at times uncomfortable, and often challenging. We rarely find ourselves seeking therapy when everything is comfortable and going well; instead, we are feeling helpless, unlovable, angry, isolated, and stuck in situations without solutions. Things that once made sense no longer do, we are confused, fearful, and just want to feel better. Imagine not feeling so afraid, understanding how/where your thoughts come from, or just simply being able to be happy; these are the expectations of our work together.
