Through various experiences working with teens, adults, and seniors I was able to utilize integrative practice methods, including spirituality, CBT, and life experience to best help another individual redevelop hisher idea of life's journey.

Welcome! It can be hard to recognize that you might have parts of your life that you have pushed aside or are uncomfortable with. It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge this and then to take the steps to reach out to someone for assistance. I believe in working as a partner with people to explore areas that cause difficulty, to build upon solutions that have previously worked, and to learn new skills to improve one's ability to cope. I enjoy getting to know the people I work with and finding solutions that are unique to them. One of my greatest professional joys is being with someone as they grow in ways that allow them to find calm, confidence, and better ways of coping in this wild world. If you feel we might be a good match, I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you. Telehealth provided across NY State only. I am accepting new clients and have availability in the morning hours (9am-12pm).

I practice a problem focused, short-term, and distinct form of cognitive behavioral therapy. I am an active directive therapist. I teach people how to change what can be changed and to accept what cannot be changed about themselves, others and life. I teach rational thinking. This approach is called Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). It was created by Albert Ellis a famous psychologist who I worked with for many years. This is a no nonsense approach to emotional and behavioral health. I actively show you how not to upset yourself when you encounter difficulties so that you can then go about attempting to modify what can be changed. I teach people how to control their emotions and behaviors. I work with individuals and couples. I show people how to adopt sensible beliefs so that they can achieve their potential. Please go to my website and watch my video and read more about this very pragmatic, fast acting and direct form of psychotherapy.

My Approach to helping.

After over 15 years in private practice, I have come to believe that healing is less about the “right” technique and more about feeling genuinely seen, and safe enough to discover yourself. Authentic connection is at the heart of my work. Much of my practice is with people who have experienced trauma, or who find themselves caught in patterns they haven't been able to change. Sometimes we come to therapy because life is overwhelming, or we know something needs to change - but aren't quite sure how to get there. Often the things that helped us survive earlier in life are the very things that are getting in our way now. I believe you are the expert on your own experience, and that the wisdom and capacity for healing are already within you. My role is to create a grounded, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can slow down, become more deeply connected to yourself, and discover what is asking to be seen, held and or changed. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and my work is informed by Somatic Experiencing, Gestalt therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting and Family Constellations. I work experientially - at a pace that respects your nervous system, rather than asking you to override (again) what has happened to you. Sessions are intentionally longer than a typical therapy hour, allowing enough time to move beyond simply talking about what is happening and into actually experiencing something different. I also offer psychedelic preparation and integration for people who are approaching these experiences thoughtfully and with intention. My personal experience with Ayahuasca, Kambo, Bufo5-MeO-DMT, and MDMA has given me a deep respect for the power—and the responsibility—of this work. I believe therapists need to continually do their own work. We cannot reasonably invite another person into places we are unwilling to explore ourselves. I have spent many years doing that work, and I know how difficult it can be to sit in the other chair. I also know how profoundly life can change when we are willing to do it. If you are ready for something to change—not just to manage things a little better, but to genuinely explore what is underneath them—I would be honored to work with you

In high-stakes environments getting over it is not a strategy, it is a liability. True resilience is not found in suppressing stress, but in mastering the nervous system that governs your decision-making, creativity, and presence. While traditional talk therapy addresses the mind, complex stress and burnout are physiological. They reside in the nervous system, areas often inaccessible to logic and conversation alone. I provide a sophisticated, integrative approach for individuals who require more than just a sounding board. I integrate Somatic Experiencing with Creative Arts Therapy to bridge the gap between cognitive insight and physical regulation. We move beyond survival mode and into a state of expanded capacity. This is not about fixing what is broken; it is about optimizing your internal architecture for connection, resilience, and sustained ease. Core Areas of Expertise Executive Burnout & Nervous System Regulation: Rewiring a system stuck in high-cortisol fight or flight to restore mental clarity and physical vitality. Relational Intelligence & Boundaries: Navigating complex interpersonal dynamics and attachment patterns to enhance both professional and private leadership. High-Stakes Transitions: Maintaining an internal home and sense of self during significant career pivots, identity shifts, or personal loss. Complex Trauma Resolution: Utilizing a paced, somatic approach to process deep-seated wounds without compromising your daily functioning. Our work is collaborative, discreet, and highly specialized. Whether we are utilizing movement to release chronic tension or creative visualization to solve unspoken blocks, the process is tailored to your specific pace and lifestyle. We do not just discuss your narrative; we transform the physical experience of 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.

I am honored to promote and guide the personal discovery and inner healing of clients with difficulties around childhood trauma, identity and values clarification, low self-esteem, family-of-origin issues, histories of abuse, childhood emotional neglect, and issues related to "sense of self." I firmly believe that we do the best we can given our current circumstances and that you are the expert of your own life. I utilize a client-centered, strengths-based approach to treatment and strive to maintain a safe, trustworthy space where each person feels seen and heard for who they are. My practice leans on pillars of Humanism and Rogerian psychotherapy, as well as attachment, family systems, and the impact that the continuum of trauma plays in our lives. These models emphasize the client's unique perspective and understanding of their own life. They encourage the client to make meaning of their experiences within the context of that individual's entire life. I welcome everyone, and I offer free consultations to answer questions, provide information, or to help you organize your thoughts and feelings as to whether my treatment approach is right for you at this time.
