Therapists in Valley Cottage, NY

My therapeutic philosophy is dedicated to helping individuals achieve maximum emotional and physical well-being through personal mastery. My focus is both preventative and remedial. I teach body self-regulation to reduce stress, control autonomic functions, eliminate self-defeating thoughts, behaviors, and habits, and enhance communication and coping skills. I use three main modalities - Biofeedback, Hypnosis, and Psychotherapy. These may be used independently or in conjunction with each other, according to individual needs. I work with children, teenagers and adults.

I have been practicing for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in a variety of settings including hospitals, out patient mental health clinics, school-based counseling, and most recently a group private practice. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. Many people struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, grief, unexpected crisis, tragedy and illnesses. I find my clients are looking to feel heard and understood, to feel like someone is really listening, understanding and validating their experiences.
