My specialty is trauma, with the understanding that trauma is often not just one major event, but also the cumulative effect of both severe and more subtle traumas over a lifetime, ranging from emotional deprivation, bullying, verbal abuse to rejections and perceived failures. Since I believe that trauma contributes to most issues, I work with a broad range of patients, including those struggling with interpersonal problems, having difficulty reaching personal and professional goals, or lacking confidence and positive self-image. I also work with patients experiencing mental illness, ranging from depression to psychotic disorders.

I provide Supervision and Consultation to agencies providing MH and substance abuse treatment and recovery.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Individuals, couples, families, children and groups are treated. Initially, I view the family through the individual with the goal of treating the family as the patient. I encourage the individual to accept the belief that we can do nothing constructive by ourselves. Everyone needs help. "No one can do anything that yields positive results alone."

I assess for abuse in VAWA cases and credible fear in asylum cases.
In Home Mental Health Counseling PLLC is for families or individuals who have a difficult time accessing therapy, or who would benefit from having the counselor come to them. Due to illness, transportation problems, disability, finances, childcare issues, or a wide range of other reasons, it can be challenging to get to a therapist's office. With this in mind, my practice offers home-based therapy, just like how doctors make house calls. We offer counseling in the comfort of home. I serve Westchester County and New York City.

You aim for success and often achieve it! But somehow an empty feeling sometimes arises and the healthier, inner, emotional life you value feels just out of reach. Perhaps at times the relationships you hold dear are affected in ways you don't intend. Some things seem out of alignment for you despite the many things you do right, you're uncertain how to attain the inner well-being you crave and believe in. Perhaps a sense of purposelessness haunts you or you yearn for greater self-understanding, or the ability to feel more at ease within yourself. Give yourself the opportunity to be more fully heard on your thoughts and concerns.

Domestic Abuse Therapists

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?

Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?

Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?

It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
