I specialize in children, adolescents, adults and families. I have helped clients suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety related disorders, behavioral issues, and grief and loss. My approach is person centered, focused on creating a caring and empathetic therapeutic relationship, while utilizing varied interventions, including psychodynamic, behavioral and cognitive based techniques, family systems theories, and attachment based strategies. In addition to more traditional approaches, I am a strong proponent of creative expressive therapy. Through expressive interventions my clients have learned to develop appropriate self expression of feelings, self confidence, effective coping and conflict resolution strategies, and pro social communication to help foster appropriate peer relations.

Tired of analyzing, re-analyzing and over-analyzing, but never getting anywhere? Feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed? Do you find yourself constantly resorting to the "quick fix" and/or negative patterns of behavior? My practice offers a unique blend of PSYCHOTHERAPY & COACHING where enhanced insight/self-awareness are accompanied by an "action plan." -Designed for the "do-ers," -versus those who prefer to "talk about doing," my practice promotes forward movement through the development of greater self-esteem/self-confidence, enhanced coping skills, improved problem-solving strategies, and a core belief that one CAN achieve stated personal, relationship & career-based goals.

My ideal client is someone excited to come to their therapy appointments. They are receptive to suggestions and are willing to put in the effort to utilize those suggestions. Their goals are to live a better quality of life with my help if that is what they desire. My ideal client is someone I enjoy meeting with on a regular basis and having enjoyable discussions in addition to our therapeutic work.

We are living in uncertain times. It’s ok to not be ok. It’s ok to need extra emotional support right now. You may find yourself having difficulty managing anxiety & stress worrying about things out of your control. You may be feeling lonely, depressed & isolated. You may be having a hard time parenting your child who struggles emotionally, socially, academically. Your young adult may be struggling with finding their way towards independence. Your child may be exhibiting atypical behaviors or expressing worries & concerns that you don’t know how to answer. Psychotherapy can offer the guidance & support you seek.

Taking the initial step to open up and initiate therapy can be quite difficult. If you’re here, you’ve already accomplished one of the toughest parts of your journey. Together, we can embark on a path to acquire valuable skills that will enrich your daily life. I approach each individual from where they currently are, offering a warm and accepting environment to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My goal is to help my clients strengthen their sense of self, ultimately reducing their suffering while increasing their joy and fulfillment.

Do you feel overwhelmed by all the directions you are pulled in? Are your inner resources tapped with little or nothing left to give to your spouse, kids, co-workers? Are you trapped in problematic relationships and stuck in patterns that maintain these relationships? Making the decision to seek therapy is a step toward sorting out these issues. Support and guidance in a safe environment sets the stage for exploration into where these patterns emerged and how to grow and learn from them.

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Rize-Up Together began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Humanistically trained and solution focused; Therapy is a journey where together we will move away from focusing on the "problems" that are identified/exist and work on finding and maintaining solutions.

I focus on healthy relationships, incorporating and maintaining boundaries, developing intimacy, and changing behaviors. In addition, I work with parents and families to provide education and tangible changes within your family. We are influenced by the world around us and sometimes find that what we are doing does not align with our goals. Have you ever been directly or indirectly impacted by problems managing these areas? These are all areas where change can happen so that you start to feel more in control of your future.
