As a Mental Health Counselor, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment for my clients to explore their life challenges. I am here to validate your unique experience and work with you to find strategies that fit your life. I value the strength of the therapeutic relationship and believe it is the building block from which you can bring about positive change in your life. I use an integrative approach primarily rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solutions-focused techniques.

Life inevitably involves struggle. The goal of therapy is to understand the source of your current struggles in order to live more fully and effectively. In my experience, life difficulties are either long standing or acute. The enduring difficulties are often the result of underlying patterns that result in feeling stuck, anxious or depressed. These patterns may manifest in relationship problems, parenting difficulties or low self esteem. Acute situations, such as death or divorce, take time to process and can trigger earlier losses. In either situation, the wish to function and feel better is what motivates us to seek therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist who evaluates and provides psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults. I received my Ph.D. from Fordham University and completed my clinical psychology internship at Westchester County Medical Center Psychiatric Institute/New York Medical College. I also completed a post-doctoral training program in clinical neuropsychology at Fielding Graduate University. As a clinician, I utilize cognitive-behavioral techniques including but not limited to cognitive restructuring, systematic desensitization, functional analytic psychotherapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I also have a special interest in transpersonal psychotherapy and financial psychology.

Making the choice to seek and begin therapy is positive and courageous. It's often a valuable step toward resolving the issues that are blocking the pleasure and fulfillment you deserve. Are you feeling depressed or anxious? Poor body image? Do you have concerns about your sexual functioning? Issues with libido? Pain or discomfort with sexual activities? Having relationship difficulties? Struggling with sexual identity, orientation, or gender expression? Any or all of these can impact your overall well being. I aim to support your capacity to grow and change, feel grounded, and to live to your highest possibility!

Making the decision to change takes courage. When that change involves our private inner world, it takes the most courage of all.

It takes true courage to share a story that contains a history of struggle or abuse. Have you found yourself overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed and want to better understand the triggers? Have you tried to ignore relationship or professional struggles in hopes they would eventually disappear? Have you reflected on past pain, and worry you are overreacting, won’t be believed, or are at fault? Perhaps you’ve achieved those goals related to wealth, fame and success, only to find your “perfect” life does not bring the satisfaction you anticipated. The old strategies no longer serve you, and now you need to try something new.

I love to learn and continue to attend trainings in many different therapeutic techniques and strategies. I believe that therapy should be individualized and truly believe that the therapeutic relationship itself will foster the greatest results. My true passion is giving individuals the tools they need to better manage all of the different roles they play in their own lives. Depending upon the client, I tend to use mostly DBT and CBT related therapeutic techniques.
