I am a licensed psychologist specializing in working with teens, young adults and adults dealing with anxiety, ADHD and chronic illness. I completed my doctoral degree at Hofstra University and have extensive training in behavioral and mindfulness- based therapeutic approaches.
My approach is warm and collaborative. I place great emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as I feel it is an incredibly influential aspect of therapy. I aim to have clients learn realistic coping skills as well as a better understanding of their thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
I see the first session as the start of forming a therapeutic rapport. Clients begin to get a feel for my style and personality. I approach the session with warmth and gentle curiosity. It can be difficult to start therapy and be vulnerable with a stranger. We will start by discussing what led you to reach out for therapy. I also like to learn more about important areas of your life.
