I worked extensively with the FDNY workforce and 9/11 family members, and with veterans around trauma and transition issues.
I am a psychodynamically trained psychotherapist and have worked with adults and children for 18 years around issues that include PTSD, trauma, relationship problems, employment concerns, parenting questions, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I have found that talking can greatly reduce stress and distress and can lead to significant change. People tend to find immediate relief after beginning the process. I also practice Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people work through traumas and areas where they are stuck in their lives.

I have trained in issues impacting the military community, human trafficking survivors, neurodivergent communities, and traumas impacting BIPOC communities.
My therapeutic approach centers around compassion and empathy for my clients. I feel everyone deserves a place where they may explore, process, and question their ideas, emotions, and life challenges without fear of being judged. We will work together to empower you to overcome challenges, build resilience, and experience personal growth in a holistic way, by integrating evidence-based therapies with customized interventions based on your needs. I draw from DBT, ACT, mindfulness, psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems, and multicultural competencies to help clients explore their struggles.

Cohen Military Family Center at NYU School of Medicine, where I provide therapy to veterans and their family members as well as train doctoral students.
The demands of daily living often deny us the opportunity to reflect upon and respond to that which needs healing. Beyond helping you find relief from distressing symptoms, I aim to create an affirming space where you can explore and repair patterns that have left you feeling stuck, lost and disconnected. Our work will focus on empowering you to claim the life you deem meaningful and the relationships you find fulfilling. Having been fortunate to work with clients of diverse backgrounds and ages, I am attuned to the ways that culture informs experience and draw upon these considerations throughout my work with teens to older adults.

With significant experience with the military subculture, I have a unique perspective and insight into transitions and their inherent conflicts.
Quite simply, psychotherapy is about conversations. The conversations we have with ourselves and with others. We often try so many different tactics to live happier more fulfilling lives, and we come to realize that it isn't always enough. A therapeutic conversation is based on an open and genuine collaboration between client and therapist; a relationship built on trust, honesty, and understanding. As the foundation for good therapeutic work, it's essential to feel comfortable and cared for. I hope to provide this conversation.

I typically work with people experiencing anxiety, attentional, depressive, grief, personality, and trauma-/stressor-related disorders, as well as people adjusting to major life changes. I specialize in time-limited, structured therapy. I provide detailed psychodiagnostic assessments and establish clear agreement regarding treatment goals before transitioning to treatment.

I have extensive experience in working with parents, professionals, veterans, university students, as well as international and diverse populations.
Starting therapy can be overwhelming and scary, but together, we can work on figuring out where you want to go and remove the roadblocks in the way. I strive to help you find empowerment in your story by understanding how where you've been has led to where you are now. I use the relationship between my client and myself as a laboratory for exploration and development of the self.

While I have a commitment to those people who are experiencing anxiety and/or depression having to do with disruptive life changes. At the present time the Pandemic has forced the need to change, even so many of the habits that have worked for us. The sense of isolation has exponentially heightened fears and whatever loneliness existed before is exacerbated. This has changed my practice both physically and as it relates to style. Support is so necessary to guide the way to management of fears and management of major transitions. My background includes many years at the Out Patient Unit of the Veterans Hospital Post Traumatic Stress

Veterans Therapists
Why is mental health important for veterans and the military?
Veterans are more likely to face mental health challenges than the general public, and such mental health challenges can make it difficult for them to navigate day-to-day life. Improved mental health can result in better interpersonal relationships, lower levels of stress, and decreased dependence on substances, such as drugs or alcohol, for many veterans. Addressing common mental health conditions can also help facilitate recovery from physical health challenges that are faced by many veterans, such as chronic pain, physical injury, or poor sleeping patterns. Therapists trained in working with veterans can help address these concerns and help improve veteran mental health.
How can veterans get access to mental health support?
There are many resources for veterans to get mental health support, including through the VA or through their primary care doctor. Many service personnel are eligible for free or reduced-cost mental health counseling through the VA, depending on their service history and current income. Veterans can also utilize online directories, such as Psychology Today, or nonprofit organization resources like the Wounded Warrior Project, to find a therapist or other healthcare professional that specializes in their specific mental health needs. Veterans may also benefit from community-based groups that facilitate social connection and/or address specific concerns, such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
What type of therapy is best for veterans?
Veterans may benefit from multiple types of therapy, depending on what mental health challenges they are facing. Veterans seeking therapy for anxiety or depression may benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which encourage clients to understand how their thought patterns influence their behavior. Veterans with PTSD may seek other more specialized forms of therapy to treat trauma symptoms, such as EMDR or exposure therapy. Many veterans and military personnel may also benefit from family or couples counseling to address the stress and adjustment challenges that can be associated with military life.
Can therapy for veterans help with trauma and PTSD?
Therapy can be highly effective in helping veterans with trauma and PTSD. Therapists specializing in veteran mental health often have extensive training and experience helping veterans navigate symptoms of trauma and can teach clients coping techniques to handle common symptoms associated with trauma and PTSD. Some therapists may use talk therapy as their primary approach, while others utilize more structured therapy modalities in sessions, such as EMDR. Veterans can try multiple therapy modalities to find the best fit for them. Therapists can also help make referrals or connect clients with available resources, such as VA benefits, to help address other life concerns.
