Active therapy for individuals and couples since 1992. I am a direct, high-engagement therapist based in Syracuse (in-person) and online across NY/DC. I don't follow rigid protocols; I integrate EMDR as a targeted tool within an experiential, emotion-focused framework. With over 30 years of experience, I focus on the blocks keeping you stuck to help you actually feel different.
Want more direction and honesty? We’re a good fit. I won’t just sit and nod. I’m an active, challenging therapist for individuals and couples. Based in Syracuse and online in NY/DC, I help you identify the defenses keeping you stuck in Complex PTSD or toxic cycles. We focus on what's happening in the room now so you learn to make change not, not just cope.
I am an LCSW licensed in NY and DC. Whether working with individuals or couples, I tailor tools like EMDR, exposure, and attachment work to your specific needs. My approach is high-engagement and direct. Click "Email Me" to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit for the meaningful change you're looking for.

I frequently use DBT and Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy to help you recognize and change patterns that once protected you but now keep you stuck. I'll point out when these coping strategies show up and challenge you to try new ways of engaging. As past experiences surface, we'll process them together so you can build insight, flexibility, and resilience to move forward with confidence.

I'm scheduling a 10-week virtual class on coping skills for PTSD. I’ll cover PTSD education, its impact, coping strategies, and treatment options. We’ll also discuss how PTSD from multiple childhood traumas may differ from single-incident PTSD. Classes are Wednesdays, 4–5:30 PM, starting when enough people enroll. Cost: $600 for all 10 weeks (prepaid) or $70 per class.
