In-person evening or weekend therapy available in Scarsdale, White Plains, and Mahopac. I help couples and adults work through relationship conflict, emotional distance, sexual concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), alcohol-related concerns, men’s issues, and patterns that keep repeating. Some people come in with a partner. Others come in alone because mood, drinking, trauma, anger, avoidance, or relationship stress is affecting the life they want. My work is practical, direct, and focused on understanding what gets stuck, so we can work on what needs to change.

I am confident in assisting you with any struggles you are currently undertaking. I will do my best to aid you in the management of experiences from anxiety and depression, to social difficulty, and beyond. Through our therapy, I will help you in developing tools you can use on your own, increase understanding and awareness of self, and to help you feel comfortable in your own skin. Helping you in your ability to improve your quality of life and the capability of being yourself is paramount. I provide a comfortable and safe environment for you to learn about yourself and grow at your own pace. I will challenge you to be true to yourself and invest in yourself. I use a wide variety of interventions, techniques, and theories in my practice. I believe there is a very close link between mind, body, and emotion. Understanding how our emotions and experiences have the ability to alter the way we feel, and vice versa, is crucial to improved mental health. Some interventions or coping skills I like to employ involve mindfulness, perspective shifting, and the introduction of various coping strategies.

I commend you on taking the first step, but anxiety, depression, feeling lost and out of control are not states you need to endure. I am passionate about helping others build tools and develop the skills they need to find relief and gain the confidence to navigate through life's rough times. Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, the goal is to achieve empowerment to work through any current issues while gaining the ability to handle future ones. It is not about controlling the waves, it's about learning to surf them.
