My approach is to work with you to identify your personal goals for growth and build awareness through deep reflection on your life and the way you see the world.

I use a wellness focused, person-centered creative approach to therapy that is empowerment oriented and assists clients in identifying and resolving blocks and integrating resources at the level of mind/body/spirit. I enjoy helping clients to discover their own internal truths and to live their passions. My therapy is focused on present-day concerns and resolving negative patterns to free energy in order to realize life's fullest potentials. I employ writing, psychodrama, mind/body focusing, self-hypnosis, relaxation and emdr techniques.

Therapy can help you to get to the roots of your issues, develop a better understanding of yourself and provide you with tools to more effectively manage your life. My role, as your therapist, is an objective and non-biased one. I will focus on listening to you, guiding you through a thorough exploration of yourself- past, present and future- and fostering insight. Your own insights will guide you to make decisions and take subsequent actions. Whatever the concern that leads you to therapy, rest assured that I will be deeply invested in supporting you through the process, freeing you to live the life you desire.

Are you seeking better relationships, greater career success, or relief from emotional distress? I will work with you to overcome the obstacles to living the life you want. Understanding yourself and others in new ways can increase your ability to relate to people authentically and experience love. Reconsidering recurring patterns that once seemed inevitable or uncontrollable can help you eliminate self-defeating behaviors and discover new choices and options. Acquiring the psychological skills to direct your life more effectively can lead to making lasting changes. Developing your emotional intelligence can promote greater resilience, humor, and capacity for pleasure. In therapy you can clarify your goals and develop the self-confidence and interpersonal skills to attain them, learn to build strong relationships, motivate yourself to achieve professional and financial success, and learn to cope effectively with challenges. The aim is to live more consciously and experience greater satisfaction in life. I provide therapy in a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself openly. I have practiced for over 20 years, and also teach and supervise other therapists. I work with each person as an individual and tailor my treatment approach to your unique needs.

I know that taking the first step is often the most difficult and I appreciate the courage it takes to find a therapist and begin therapy. I help clients develop understanding through compassionate, empathic listening, thoughtful questions and genuine feedback. My approach is collaborative and my goal is to help clients increase self-awareness, build coping skills and find the strength to meet difficult life challenges.

When you walk into therapy, I want you to feel safe, welcomed, and understood exactly as you are. My role is to be there with you: listening deeply, learning your story, and helping you feel less alone. You don’t have to have it all figured out; we’ll navigate it together, at your pace. I combine evidence-based tools like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with the depth and insight of interpersonal psychodynamic work. This means we’ll focus on helping you cope with what’s happening right now, and look at patterns, relationships, and experiences that shape how you see yourself and the world. Along the way, you’ll gain skills, emotional control, clarity, and new ways of dealing with life’s challenges. People often tell me I bring warmth, compassion, and a calming presence to our sessions, along with the kind of honesty and gentle encouragement that makes it easier to make changes. My hope is that you leave therapy feeling better in the moment, and also more confident, more connected, and more hopeful about your life.

I received my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University and have since been fulfilled each day by helping clients confront and overcome issues such as relationship stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, identity confusion, parenting challenges and more. I have helped many different types of individuals improve their quality of life by developing strategies they can use and maintain as they work to address their personal challenges. Change can sometimes feel scary, overwhelming, or out of reach, but I work to make sure my clients never feel alone. My primary goal is to create a productive, warm, and open forum that enables clients to feel safe and supported each step of the way. I have received special recognition for my work with the college population but have experience with clients of all ages. In my work with all individuals, I take a customized approach and continuously aim to identify interventions that can be taken to prepare you, and your loved ones for effective and lasting change. By joining and assisting you in your process of self-discovery and understanding, I hope to empower you and boost confidence in your unique abilities.

My objective as a psychotherapist is to provide safe, comfortable and judgment-free environment for clients to work through issues. In addition, I provide warmth and flexibility in working with my clients. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, living with chronic medical conditions, self- esteem issues, relationship and career issues, among others. I work with adolescents and adults of all ages. People come into therapy to make changes in their lives, to reduce emotional pain or to get past "stuck" points, and resolve conflicts. I am there to help with the process. I believe that it is important to have a good match between therapist and client in order to make the therapeutic process effective, and I am also of the belief that the therapeutic relationship can contribute to the healing process. I primarily work psychodynamically, but I find that at times it is useful to include cognitive-behavioral techniques into the therapy, depending on the client's needs. Unresolved issues from the past can get in the way of attaining personal and professional growth. Psychotherapy can enhance one's self-awareness and the ability to recognize in one's own self-defeating and self-sabotaging patterns, and to change these patterns. Overall, I see my role as a psychotherapist is to respect the goals that my clients come in with, and support the process of working toward these goals.
