KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE. Stuck? Worried? Depressed? Low self-esteem? Experiencing relationship problems, difficulty parenting children, work/career, phase-of-life problems such as aging parents, illness, difficulty organizing yourself; addiction to alcohol or food? Compulsions? I will tackle your most acute symptoms first, explore solutions and behavior changes to enable better choices, explore barriers to achieving life & career goals. Very importantly, self-knowledge through exploration is crucial in avoiding repetition throughout the life cycle. I am also a certified psychoanalyst and experienced in the deeper, psychoanalytic approaches. I tailor my approach to the client's needs and capabilities.

Oftentimes, people just need someone to listen to them, to help them work through an issue, and sort out their feelings. That's where I come in as a licensed psychotherapist as well as a medical social worker. I'm skilled at hearing what people are saying and helping them to figure out strategies for improving their situation. I work with a variety of clients ---men, women and children from all sexualities, gender identities, and races to help them with all sorts of issues. My clientele ranges in ages; however, a majority of my clients are in their early 30's.

We all have the capacity to heal, both ourselves and our relationships so that we may grow to our fullest potential. I have over thirty years of experience dedicated to facilitating that process. I provide a safe and nurturing environment as the foundation for any work we do. Together we will explore your past and present, helping you face and move beyond toxic memories, change old, dysfunctional patterns, and develop your strengths. You will learn to free yourself from stuck places and rediscover yourself in vital, new ways

I provide a warm, compassionate environment, offering sessions that are collaborative, validating and goal-oriented. I have a BA in psychology from Columbia University and a MSW from Fordham University. I also have a Certificate in Trauma Specialization from Fordham University. I am trained in "gold standard" evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma Systems Therapy. To these therapeutic modalities, I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach that empowers and motivates individuals as they engage in the therapeutic process.

Are you wondering if your drug or alcohol use is becoming a problem? Do you know it is a problem, but cannot seem to control it? Maybe you engage in a different sort of self-sabotaging behavior, such as binge-eating, compulsive spending or undermining your success at work. Self-sabotaging behaviors, including drug and alcohol misuse, are actions we choose but they feel automatic and inescapable. Often, they serve to maintain status quos, prevent growth, and imprison us in unhappy situations. I understand the pain and hopelessness that comes from repeating the same mistakes. It is never too late to change a limiting pattern.

When we are wrestling with anxiety or depression, all we think of is getting rid of the pain. But actually, the focus must be on making you emotionally healthy, i.e., enabling you to become a happy and fulfilled individual. In my 40 years of working with people, all emotional ill-ease dissipates with a robust sense of confidence and resulting good mood. Think of those moments when you have felt entirely confident and happy. Did you experience any emotional discomfort? Of course not. For those moments, you felt wonderful. It is psychotherapies’ goal/mission to give you the tools to elevate your mood every single day of your life.

My boutique psychotherapy approach focuses on quality of patient time, & outcomes. I am a prominent mental health clinician who graduated from Fordham University in 2001. I care deeply about each of my patients and want to help you get unstuck from persistent problems which you are now eager to get rid of with professional help. Long lasting positive life enhancing effects are attainable with the right help and I am ready to help you obtain them. I do not schedule back-to-back patients. I enjoy having the life that allows me to provide a tailored approach to every single patient.

Whether you're seeking to overcome a change, crisis, or loss, I'm here to provide guidance and support during difficult times. In the healing process, I prioritize creating a safe and warm environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we'll identify harmful thoughts and emotions and work collaboratively to change unwanted behaviors or outcomes. I strive to understand your unique self-experience, assisting you in exploring the root causes of your struggles and developing strategies to manage and cope.

I aspire to create a space that is welcoming, safe, non-judgmental, empathic and introspective. My goal is to help you learn about yourself and how you relate to others so that you can make positive improvements that are lasting. Therapy can be challenging; but my belief is that through this meaningful work you will develop a deeper sense of self and awareness of strengths that may have gone undiscovered to this point. In therapy, issues to be resolved will be addressed with the idea that self-awareness leads to choice, responsibility and change.

Solution Focused therapist can meet anywhere in the world through videoconferencing and accepting most insurance. I am an antiracist psychotherapist/coach experienced in the work of liberation from the tyranny of addiction, depression and anxiety. I also work with people who simply do not get along. I'm happily married and successfully parented three children. As a Liberation Psychotherapist, I believe "the degree to which you assume 100% responsibility for your life is the degree to which you will be free!"

Do you tend to be hard on yourself, often feeling exhausted and on edge? Has it been hard to reach out and explore supportive therapy due to the fear of judgment, fear of change, and doubt? These are common reasons for neglecting your mental wellness. However, it is a strength and a valid responsibility to receive emotional support. Highly accomplished individuals who appear to have it all figured out are also in need of emotional support, and it’s not a weakness. I specialize in working with student doctors and other professionals in stressful work cultures who are dealing with burnout, perfectionism, anxiety, and depression.

If you: ​Avoid conflict by appeasing others, struggle to set boundaries and limits, struggle with relationships, put off verbalizing your needs, feel resentment or anxiety, overdeliver leading to exhaustion, wonder why you are not being heard, strive to please others while sacrificing your needs, or are a child of an alcoholic / addiction, I can help you improve your relationships, increase self-esteem, prioritize needs, set healthy boundaries, sleep better, communicate your needs, and re-establish self care.
