Award winning Therapist — Backed by 18 years of clinical training, 7 years of therapy experience. I am a licensed psychotherapist that provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your unique needs. I help professionals heal from burnout, anxiety, depression, and trauma while reconnecting with themselves and the people they love.

We can move forward, overcome, learn and grow, seeking peace, balance, happiness. I was a NYS Certified School Psychologist for 16 years, and have 7 years of combined supervised and licensed experience as a Mental Health Counselor. I have several degrees in addition to Mental Health Counseling which broadens my perspectives and experience. I was a Training Consultant for Dale Carnegie Training. I also have a Jack Nash Honors MBA, working in foreign exchange capital markets for several years. Counseling however is my calling, my purpose.

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in working with adolescents and adults. I help people suffering from a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, addiction such as drugs/alcohol and gambling. I use a strength based, person centered approach in order to guide clients through the discomfort, pain and dissatisfaction that life can sometimes bring. I work in partnership with clients in order to help them achieve growth and increased satisfaction in their daily lives.

I enjoy working with all different types of people, helping them identify their strengths and develop coping skills and strategies to help improve their lives. I utilize components of CBT and psychodynamic psychotherapy in my practice, and work collaboratively with individuals during therapy.

I am an empathetic and warm person who cares deeply about helping my clients. It is my goal to create a judgement-free space where you feel open and safe to express yourself and be free. Together, we can create genuine personal growth.

It is my goal to empower individuals to recognize and embrace the strengths that live within them. I utilize evidence-based techniques to aid individuals with living a life filled with healthy relationships, self-confidence, and joy. I provide clients with strategies to combat life stressors, anxiety and depression.

Early in my career, I had the opportunity to work in community-based settings where I learned the skills to help clients overcome fixed mindsets and develop healthy behaviors to succeed both emotionally and socially.

Later in my career, I led new mom’s support groups to help mothers navigate this unique time of life in a supportive and non-judgmental community. I currently specialize in working with maternal mental health where I aid mothers in exploring many topics including a mother’s new normal, changing relationships with her partner, the baby blues as well as postpartum depression/ anxiety/ OCD, adjusting to returning to work, introducing a new sibling to the family, navigating new dynamics with older children and much more.

As a psychotherapist, I have had the privilege to work with individuals who are brave enough to openly discuss difficult life transitions and learn the tools to deal with them. It is truly inspiring to witness the tenacity of individuals who take the time to be the best they can be.

I believe my intuition and good listening skills as well as authentic ability to hold a non-judgmental space for clients are where my strengths lie. It is in this environment that clients have the chance to tell their story and learn how to realize their healthiest self. Once people are given the opportunity to express themselves with a caring and supportive therapist, change can lead to revelations that can lead to renewal.

Many clients come to therapy because they’ve reached a roadblock in their lives. I work with each person together, to help go beyond that impasse. Sometimes, it is helping to clarify and act on goals. Other times, there may be the need to understand one’s past before formulating a plan. A client who feels their therapist is there to work together and support their decisions, is more likely to achieve their goals. I work actively with each client to help them reach a happier place.

I offer an emphatic approach, based on realistic expectations with achievable goals tailored for each individual. I work collaboratively, able to readily offer my ideas and suggestions as benefits the client. I believe in continuous evaluation of therapy’s progress. I work with families and children and am experienced in play therapy.

Coming for therapy is the first step in moving forward. I believe in helping my clients in their personal, and unique growth. Asking for help, I believe, is beginning your path to empowerment, and getting your life back on track.
