ARE YOU BROKEN AND HURT ON THE INSIDE? On the outside everything looks fine. You look like you have it all together and to others your life looks great. But on the inside you feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious and depressed. Are past traumas interfering with your life now? Maybe you struggle with setting boundaries which often leaves you feeling depleted and unloved. Maybe your questioning some of the choices you have made and need a space to figure out how to put your life back in order because right now everything feels out of control. Is the anxiety keeping you up at night? Is the depression starting to take you down?

Learn to treat yourself with the same kindness you so easily extend to others! You may have previously examined your childhood issues in therapy yet still struggle with your self-esteem. You may judge yourself harshly, placing your needs last. You may experience difficulties in relationships or dealing with painful transitions, or feel you have lost your sense of self. My nearly 20 years as a Clinician coupled with advanced training allows me to work with you on a meaningful and compassionate level you have not experienced previously. Learn to appreciate your sensitivities and vulnerabilities as strengths, not weaknesses.

Accepting new clients for daytime appointments only. From the outside it looks like things are going well, but you know that isn’t the whole story. Inside you're struggling with worry and feelings of unease and insecurity. Maybe you feel sad or on edge, and can’t focus on the things you love. Perhaps it feels like the world is caving in on you as others look on. These are just a few symptoms that are familiar to clients who seek therapy with me. Although I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients, I specialize in working with young adults who struggle with traumatic memories, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and low self-esteem.

My goal is to listen and help you tackle difficult issues, inform and support you so you can feel empowered, every day. Empathy, constructive listening and feedback are combined with theory to provide established clinical support. Concerns such as anxiety or depression, relationship barriers and sexual concerns, career and money difficulties are all welcome. I want to help you find success and feel good about yourself and all that you invest in.

I have been a practicing Social Worker for over 30 years. It has been my passion to help those in need . I graduated New York University in 1991 with a Masters Degree in Social Work and am also a Certified Life Coach. I also am the Vice President for a Private Not for Profit Social Service Agency in New York City serving those who live with mental illness, the homeless, HIV/AIDS, and Developmental Disabilities. In my private practice I have helped clients who have experienced depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, addictions and issues around self-esteem.

Being rather busy with life's responsibilities, we often neglect to integrate certain troubling experiences; we notice but try to ignore. This may work for a while; yet, without realizing it, we expend valuable amounts of mental energy to push this "stuff" away. Soon unpleasant feelings of worry, helplessness and frustration begin to color our daily life. Working together, we will be able to take care of that "stuff" so that the mind and the body may work optimally and in harmony. You will begin to feel good again being calmer, energized and optimistic.

I aspire to create a space that is welcoming, safe, non-judgmental, empathic and introspective. My goal is to help you learn about yourself and how you relate to others so that you can make positive improvements that are lasting. Therapy can be challenging; but my belief is that through this meaningful work you will develop a deeper sense of self and awareness of strengths that may have gone undiscovered to this point. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change.

We receive many messages from our loved ones and society about who we are and who we should be. These messages can make us feel stifled and pressured to conform to others' expectations to fit in or feel worthy. It is isolating and painful when our true selves don't align with others' expectations. This pain can cause us to hold negative beliefs about ourselves, isolate ourselves from others, and avoid trying new things. This pain keeps us from embracing our life, relationships, and ourselves. The path to embracing your authentic self starts here.

Many of my clients also seek therapy during difficult transitions, or when it feels like something is just not working in life.

My passion and specialization lie in working with members of the LGBTQIA/Queer Community, Alternative Relationship Dynamics (Consensual Non-monogamy, Kink/BDSM, and adult content creators), Individuals and Couples interested in Sex Therapy, and anyone struggling with their identity and self-esteem.

My holistic approach is based in attachment theory and mindfulness, incorporating your past experiences and relationships, trusting you to be the expert in your own life. This garners a strong partnership from which to begin the exploration process. While I utilize short-term cognitive strategies to alleviate immediate concerns, there is often work to do that involves a deeper look. I work collaboratively with you, tackling obstacles, both internal and external, concrete and unconscious, on the path to fulfillment and discovering your true, authentic self.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or self-esteem related issues? Is this affecting your ability to cope with life stressors such as work, school, or relationships?

So often, we find ourselves at a crossroads in life. We are either transitioning into a new phase or are completely unhappy with where we are at.
