I am a NY state licensed Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience with youth and families from diverse backgrounds. Over the years, I have enjoyed helping my clients learn how to better cope with many issues including behavioral difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, academic and social challenges in school, self harm, parental separation, teenage identity, and general parenting challenges. I view the child as part of a larger system which includes family, community, school, and culture. I take an active stance as a therapist, while offering a warm, supportive, down to earth, strength-based, and practical approach.
I take the time to understand the causes and consequences of emotional and behavioral distress, and then integrate different therapeutic techniques depending on what best suits my clients. I prioritize the development of trust and then within the context of this therapeutic relationship teach skills necessary to make lasting changes.
I have extensive experience providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other behavioral interventions. I also offer parent support and guidance. My overall style is grounded in CBT and DBT, yet is integrative, depending upon what best suits my client.
