Great to meet you!

Greetings and welcome to my practice!

I'm a licensed therapist with over 30 years' experience providing virtual counseling, therapy, and case management. I am a graduate of Fordham University's School of Social Work and have obtained my Certificate in Intensive Motivational Interviewing. I've also supervised and educated other providers on therapeutic interventions and communication.

In my practice, I've treated a very wide variety of emotional concerns, specializing in anxiety and depression.

My approach to therapy

My treatment philosophy is built upon strong listening skills and using cognitive based therapies. I feel that any problem can be addressed if provided a safe, trusting, and judgment free environment.

I understand that you are the expert on yourself, and by offering a solution focused discussion, you will be successful. My style is to collaborate with my clients around goals, as well as the work needed between sessions toward change.

What you can expect from me

The sessions that I offer are completely judgement free and focused on you as the expert on yourself and your concerns. My goal is to provide you with the tools to cope in a healthy manner, greater awareness of your thinking and behaviors, increased understanding regarding your inner child and earlier life experiences, as well as working toward better self care and habits.

By working with your whole self, you'll gain more control of your thinking, ease distress, and experience greater wellness.
