I'm so glad you're reading this now. You've taken the first step. The search for 'the right therapist' is nerve-wracking. I'm honored that you're considering me. I am a licensed psychotherapist (LCSW) in FL & NY with experience treating a range of emotional challenges. Encompassing my work is the strong belief that the therapeutic process is creative & mutual & is most effective in a warm, safe environment with a highly empathic, interested and engaged clinician. Bring your unique story. I look forward to hearing, w/o judgement, because I genuinely am interested in helping. If you've ever wanted to try therapy, Reach out!
Natural reactions like anger, anxiety, sadness or confusion, shaped by our past and present experiences, can become very overwhelming; leading us to feel stuck in a cycle of unhelpful thoughts and an unintentional pattern. The situation isn't the problem, its our perception or in other words, it's the lens through which we (unknowingly choose) SEE it.
If you are willing to shift, changing your perspective even an ounce, we open ourselves up to possibilities we didn't know. Together, we'll address challenges most important to you, learn new ways to view and experience relationships and....ultimately your life. After all, our lenses can use a little adjusting now and then ;)

"
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and we'll create a plan together; the best ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better."
