I have a unique, interdisciplinary background as a seasoned and compassionate holistic psychotherapist (individual, couples, family), divorce/family mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach. I view and treat patients as whole people, integrating Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, wellness, and Buddhist principles into a tailored holistic approach. Together, these approaches help patients understand and change how their thoughts and emotions impact their behavior. As a mediator, child specialist, and divorce coach, I am committed to helping people avoid court and resolve their differences sensibly and compassionately. I am passionate about minimizing the negative effects of divorce and separation by fostering effective coparenting.

Everyone could benefit from speaking with a trained professional whether you need to check in with an objective sounding board, achieve personal growth or navigate challenges encountered within your life. Sometimes the thought of something can seem worse than the actual experience, or dwelling on situations intensifies feelings. I am a New York State Licensed Clinical Psychologist with expertise treating a range of mental health conditions across the lifespan while specializing in depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma and relationships using Cognitive Behavioral Therapies and the Gottman method for individual and couples therapy.

A good therapy experience requires a safe, empathic environment which promotes self-exploration and growth. My style is interactive, balancing detailed inquiry while allowing room for full expression of the client's concerns. I question assumptions, share my observations of automatic patterns in thinking, feeling and relating to others and draw attention to experience that is being avoided. In my experience this is where sources of depression, anxiety and problems in living are found. Exploring these patterns allows us to reevaluate their present usefulness and adopt new approaches, resulting in greater freedom and flexibility in one's life.

Finding the right therapist can be very confusing and overwhelming! On your initial visit, I will spend a generous amount of time with you on your presenting concerns and your goals for therapy. Having 20 years of experience, I can assess the therapy method most likely to be effective for your specific situation. My specialty is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and I find most clients achieve significant progress with this method. However, if I feel CBT is not appropriate for you, I have a number of experienced colleagues in my practice with different methods I can recommend (behaviorhealthny.com).

Usually we seek psychotherapy because we have come to realize that the emotional pain we suffer is a recurrent problem which we are unable to resolve on our own. The enduring consequences of deprivation, trauma, and conflict limit who we are in our relationships and our work. My training and experience enables me to help you, initially by alleviating your immediate distress, and over time by relating to your deeper concerns.

The experience of suffering is unique for each individual and deserves respect and attention. I work to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can speak openly and be heard. Using language as our medium, I listen closely and with curiosity to hear your questions, fears, and desires. I wonder with you in a collaborative process about how your narratives have been formed and intervene to support revisions, bringing you into greater alignment with your personal truths. Putting words to experience lays the groundwork for greater mental freedom and lasting change to take place.

My goal as a psychologist is to help you feel better, quickly, applying proven therapeutic methods in a warm and caring atmosphere. I am solution oriented so you will not spend years in therapy.

I help my clients progress toward their goals in a warm, supportive and affirming environment. Just as each person's needs, experiences, and strengths are unique, I tailor my services to each individual and help uncover past and present factors that impact functioning.

As a clinical and sport psychologist, I generally work with clients who are seeking to reach higher levels of professional, athletic and academic achievement, yet are struggling with various types of anxiety.
