It has been a privilege to walk along side others managing more complex psychological issues and trauma or just helping them talk things out. I am currently offering telehealth services to adolescents (ages 11 and up) and adults. I also work with couples, parents, and families.
My doctoral training and experience in the field for over 20 years allow me to work with a wide range of issues. I have worked in different capacities and settings including as an adjunct professor, supervisor of therapy/ testing, and a psychotherapist in hospitals, universities, and a military behavioral health clinic. I have extensive experience treating depression and anxiety, grief/ loss, relationship concerns, trauma, OCD, chronic health issues, infertility, adjustment/ self-esteem problems in children/ adults, substance use issues, and personal growth.
My goal is to blend evidence based treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and meditation with a warm, caring style. I like to take a holistic approach focusing all aspects of psychological, physical, and spiritual health. I offer culturally competent therapy- welcoming anyone regardless of sexual orientation, ethnicity, and religion. Together we can identify innate strengths and build coping skills to foster long-term wellness and resilience.
As a licensed mental health counselor,I believe that prioritizing mental health and achieving balance in our lives is key to functioning at our highest level of personal success and happiness. It takes real courage to ask for help, to be vulnerable, so congratulations on taking this first step!
I have been practicing individual therapy with adults and adolescents for 20 years with a focus on anxiety, stress, depression, and family and relationship issues.
I graduated from NYU in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness and am finalizing my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Pace University. I have experience working at mental health clinics, schools, and outpatient settings. I support children, teens, adults, and families with trauma, attachment needs, mood concerns, acculturation stress, and relationship challenges.
I am a warm, grounded therapist who prioritizes emotional safety while building genuine rapport. Once trust is established, I thoughtfully challenge clients in ways that promote insight and growth without undermining that sense of security. I allow glimpses of my own humanity, which helps clients feel understood while still maintaining clear professional boundaries. Overall, my style reflects a balance of compassion, depth, and seasoned clinical judgment.
When anxiety, grief, or big life changes start to feel overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to turn. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re going through, and identify small, doable steps toward relief. I work especially with adults and seniors facing depression, panic, trauma, chronic conditions, relationship stress, or end-of-life concerns, and I provide a calm, affirming space where all of your feelings are welcome.
I am a Mental Health Counselor & National Certified Counselor with experience counseling all ages. I will work with you through a variety of transitional stages during your life- including life changes, relationships, daily stress, struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and all that life brings. I enjoy tailoring sessions towards the needs of each individual!
