I hold two masters degrees (one in the science of teaching, the other in mental health counseling) and am ABD with my PhD in Educational Psychology. I am a licensed mental health professional in 2 states - NY and CT - and am available for both in person and virtual sessions. I include a lot of researched information in my sessions to help you make informed decisions, as well as nutritional and biopsychological behavioral changes to ensure your best life!
My counseling style is somewhat eclectic. I trained for 20 years with old school approaches but am savvy with the newer ones. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I also can be direct and solution focused as need be but I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. I'm here to support, encourage, guide and help you or a family member strive and thrive..... I may even cheer-lead you on to success in whatever you are dealing with.
You can expect to always be treated with compassion and respect - it would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey whether for a few sessions ro configure a new path or deep journey into childhood to maybe discover where a cognition developed that is causing you to make less optimal choices.
