Offering virtual and in-person appointments.
The decision to come to therapy isn't one that people enter into lightly. Usually, they seek help because they are suffering and there is something in their life that they hope to change or understand. Searching for the right therapist is the first part of that journey, and I am hopeful that I might be that person for you. Why me? I am a licensed clinical psychologist that specializes in trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I take a careful, encouraging approach in psychotherapy to help you examine your life and grow into the person you wish to be.

I especially like to help clients better their close relationships with partners, and have found that helping relationships is an excellent way to improve one's mental and physical health. Sometimes it is best to address individual problems such as anger and depression before engaging in therapy for the relationship and I always see clients individually before seeing them together.
In some cases I help clients separate from the relationship with as little negative fallout on themselves or children. I conducted custody evaluations for 20 years but also help couples mediate differences as an alternative to court intervention.

I have an office in Stony Brook, NY for those who prefer in-person sessions.
Anxiety and depression can have devastating effects on schoolwork, career, personal relationships and rob you of joy. It may be difficult to get the support you need from loved ones who may not have the skills or understanding that a mental health professional can provide. People often contact me because they are trying to deal with anger, constant worrying, sadness, feeling stuck, challenges at work, and frustrating relationships. You don't have to cope with such pain on your own.

Ever feel like you're going through more than you can handle? I get it, life can feel sometimes impossibly harder than it needs to.

If you want to change the direction life has taken you, now is a good time to start. Let's work together to help you feel more like yourself again—present, engaged, & ready to live life forward.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist and certified school psychologist, specializing in treating children, adolescents, and families using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) in homes, schools and the community. CBT treatment is highly recommended for anxiety, impulse, and conduct disorders. While it is well-established that CBT within real-world settings significantly improves functioning compared to office-based treatment, few professionals accept the challenge! As a professional with 20 years of experience traveling to families throughout Long Island, I understand that intense emotions, troubled relationships and significant avoidance cannot simply be discussed away in therapy, but mindfully experienced and addressed when and where they occur.
