Great to meet you!

I am licensed in New York, Florida, & Ohio. My specialties include the treatment of anxiety, ADHD (children, adults, couples), depression, grief, low self-esteem, PTSD, trauma, and sexual abuse. I treat individuals, couples, and families through grief, infidelity, separation, divorce, and blended family issues. I am currently a Ph.D. student with a specialty in trauma. I am a ADHD Certified Clinical Service Provider and certified in the Gottman Trust Revival Method in assisting couples navigating through infidelity.

My approach to therapy

I work from a strength-based, positive, non-judgmental stance, using my experience and research skills to provide options and choices for treatment. I use various modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Family Systems Therapy (FST), Gottman Couples Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT), Play Therapy (PT), Sand Therapy (ST), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT),

What you can expect from me

You can expect to feel heard, respected, validated, and cared for, which, I hope, gives you peace, new hope, and a smile on your face. I also hope that you would be excited to apply what we learn in sessions, and that would positively impact you individually and those important relationships in your life.
