Are you or your child struggling with worries or fears at school or home? Do people around you tell you that you appear sad, hopeless or defeated? Maybe you feel angry or irritable, struggling to get through each day. If you identify with any of these feelings you are not alone! I have over 15 years experience working in with children in the schools as both a teacher and a school counselor. In addition, I have worked several years as a clinical counselor in private practice where I have assisted children and adolescents with developing coping skills to handle various mental health issues such as Anxiety, Depression and ADHD.

The therapeutic relationship creates a unique space for patient and therapist to explore and uncover new possibilities for growth and change in areas that are of importance to the patient. I work collaboratively with patients to dislodge and free up deeply-embedded patterns of behavior and ways of relating to others that can keep us stuck and prevent us from moving forward, from achieving important goals, and from developing satisfying relationships that are nurturing and sustaining. Relationships are central to my work with patients, whether working individually, in couples therapy, or in a group.

My ideal client is someone that is ready to make a change. They have an understanding that they have to make the necessary adjustments in their life to reach their desired goals. This client is ready to work hard for what it is they want. This client is tired of dealing with the same situations and wants better for themself. The client wants to start their journey towards true happiness physically, emotionally, and spiritually. One thing I enjoy is working with a client to help them reach their full potential and live the life they've always imagined for themselves.

I believe that people are curious and usually strive to make sense of their internal selves and the world around them. In this process we are often guided, influenced, and diverted by various factors. These factors are endless and include, but are not limited to; experiences, parents, society, friends, work, and morals. While these variables can help us to grow, they may also hinder progress, leading to stagnation and dysfunction. I assist others to gain awareness of these factors either within or outside the self.

You want to change. You just can't. You try, you fail, then repeat the process. You'd probably say you've tried it all - meditation, journaling, working out. You may have even done counseling before, but it just didn't help, and you're not sure why. When things get tough, you just don't handle them the way you'd like to. You feel like it's a flaw, and you beat yourself up, but you don't have to anymore.

As a Clinical Psychologist, my specialties are anxiety and anti-anxiety training , depression and anti-depression training, OCD, relationship training and coaching for individuals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is my main method and is a very learner friendly set of skills. Whatever method used, healing old wounds releases new energy for learning the skills needed to overcome old habits that interfere with the best we can be. Building and learning mindfulness skills and a new awareness is a part of CBT.

It takes courage and bravery to ask for help, and I want to commend you for reaching out and seeking guidance and direction. It is not an easy thing to do, and I would like to help you on your journey to find your true inner self who wants to be heard. My priority is to ensure you that you are apart of the process, working at a pace you feel comfortable with, and building coping skills and knowledgeable tools along the way.

You want a therapist who is passionate & loves people, who has multiple, not singular experiences, who believes in therapy enough to go themselves. I go as preventive medicine. Originally from NYC, have always had friends, associates, relationships with persons from every culture.  This has been extremely valuable in developing my clinical skills and ability to understand and help a wide variety of people from various backgrounds.  The next invaluable contribution to my clinical skills is my Mother, Elizabeth, who taught me, "Everyone I know knows something I don't."  This makes every single person of unique intrinsic value.
