Great to meet you!

I am a NYS Licensed Psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. I work to provide a private and secure environment for you to explore difficult issues in your life. I use a dynamic approach to help you look into the root causes of your distress (for example, dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and intimacy issues among others).

My approach to therapy

We can delve into current issues and past experiences that have had an impact on your ability to move forward in your life. I use my expertise and active listening skills to help others gain a better understanding and emotional connection to the source(s) of their particular problems.

What you can expect from me

I am nonjudgmental and seek to help others find their own path. I am genuinely interested in listening to my client's stories and accept people where they are.
