I am an award winning mental health & addictions therapist; a former contractor for the CDC. Therapy integrates empowerment techniques into a spectrum of evidence based approaches tailored to suit your needs. Treatment is primarily focused on empowering clients with new cognitive perspectives, conflict management, self-reconditioning and behavior modification for mood disorders, substance misuse and addictive behaviors. Clients are encouraged to be proactive in therapy so we can build upon your strengths to develop new skills, an informed knowledge base (knowledge is power) & greater sense of autonomy.
I work well with clients who seek positive change and personal empowerment. My specialties include treatment for addictions, anxiety, OCD, trauma and PTSD. I develop diverse treatment approaches utilizing empirical research findings to attain successful outcomes for adults and couples.
I provide both in-person and virtual services primarily for clients based in New York and California.
