Over 26 years of experience in the field of social work and child welfare. I have helped various populations ranging from struggles with stress, trauma, anxiety, substance misuse, and depression, to navigating systems in meeting basic needs. My expertise is working with people from all races, cultures, and ethnicities, as I originate from a diverse background. I enjoy helping people become the best version of themselves, finding that baseline, and rediscovering their assets in being their most satisfied and peaceful state. My aim is to help restore overall mind, body, and spiritual health that incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, life coaching, and holistic approaches.

Fall has a way of sneaking up on you, suddenly the holidays are coming, the days feel heavier, and if you're already struggling, that weight can get overwhelming fast. I help adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck find more stability and clarity, including those navigating trauma, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or psychosis. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I tailor our work to meet you exactly where you are (not a one-size-fits-all plan) using evidence-based methods, creative tools, or both. Together, we'll get you to 'I got this! I draw from a few modalities including Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which helps reframe distressing memories to eliminate triggers, and art therapy, which can give shape and color to feelings that words can’t always capture. Sessions are often a mix of conversation, reflection, and even laughter as we build trust and move. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. I invite you to book a session so we can begin creating a plan that feels right for you. My hope is that by the end of our first meeting you’ll feel lighter, more hopeful, and maybe even surprised at how much you’re looking forward to our next session because I know I will be.

Are you a man who is really hard on himself? Are you exhausted trying to keep everyone happy? Overwhelmed by work, family or other demands? You could be someone questioning life decisions (getting caught in "I wish I had done..."). You could also be someone who is anxious or obsesses and unable to stop the cycle. We will work as a team to uncover tools and gain insight to improve the quality of your life. I provide a judgement-free, supportive space for men. I also work with many men who are pursuing counseling for the first time. For over 20 years, my career reflects a commitment to helping others. I had the honor of receiving the 2007 WBJ Healthcare Hero award for my work in an ER (learn more at website link). Please note: At this time, I do not work with persons dealing with current legal issues. Call or email me to set up a free phone consultation.

I have specialized in working with couples for over 30 years. I try to actively identify personal and relational strengths, such as trust, affection, commitment, respect, flexibility and repair, among others, in order to utilize and promote them to help couples reach their goals in treatment. I begin couples work with a focused couples evaluation designed to determine whether treatment is indicated and to quickly identify key problems, strengths and promising directions for treatment. I am a participating provide with Blue Cross Blue Shield, the Pioneer Health Network and Medicare and accept other insurances that offer their clients out-of-network coverage. More information on my philosophy and approach is available on my website.

My approach comes from a strengths-based perspective. I believe that individuals and those in relationship have the ability to make significant life changes by identifying the sources of their current difficulties, understanding why their coping methods may have made good sense at the time, and learning new ways of being in the world that fit with who they are now and that support their growth and heart's desire. My role is to provide a supportive, trust-based environment and help individuals and relationship partners create the lives they wish to live. I see a wide variety of individual adults and those in relationships of all sizes, as well as college students, those grieving pet loss, and technical professionals, given my own background as a software engineer. I also specialize in working with those on the autism spectrum, including neurodivergent adults and relationships in which one or more partners are on the spectrum. I use a largely psychodynamic perspective, often integrating mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches. I'm interested in research areas of positive psychology, the neurobiology of connection, adaptive solitude, therapeutic journal writing, and the role of nutrition and fitness on mood, mental health, and well-being. I look forward to meeting you!

I currently have daytime availability for new clients. Taking the first step in the journey of therapy takes courage and strength. I am a marital and family therapist with over 17 years of experience working with adult individuals and couples going through difficult times in their lives. During therapy, we will explore thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns that aren't working and how they affect your world. I help my clients learn healthy coping skills, develop new patterns for communicating, and relating to themselves and others. As a marriage and family therapist, I also work with individuals along with married and unmarried couples. I provide acceptance, support, nurturance and hope for the future. I use a strength based approach. My goal is for therapy to be an inviting, calm and safe place where we can work together to create positive changes in your life resulting in healthy coping skills, peace, and improved relationships.

I have worked with individuals of all ages in my 30 years of practice. I offer individual and group therapy in a confidential setting, utilizing both telehealth and in-person services. I use an eclectic model of treatment combining cognitive behavioral therapy with psychodynamic work, as needed. My goal is to meet each client with attention to their own needs.

I provide practical tools and guidance to help you understand the brilliance of your nervous system and the wisdom it holds. By creating a space rooted in fierce compassion, curiosity, accountability, and even a little humor. Together, we'll work to gently shift the stories, beliefs, and habits that no longer serve you—whether from your personal experience, your lineage, or from the collective. Our work is a holistic partnership where we honor every part of your experience: • Mind: We’ll explore how your thoughts shape your world, influence your feelings and behaviors, and build strategies to shift your mindset. • Body: Moving beyond just ‘talking,’ we will also listen to what your body is telling you, practicing real-time techniques in session to help you manage emotions and find a sense of safety to help you have a different relationship with fear and pain. Ultimately, we will work on rewiring your brain for more calm and resilience. • Soul: To support your deepest self, we explore how a connection to the natural world can foster a profound sense of belonging. We can also integrate the power of ritual—creating intentional, meaningful practices that call our attention to mark what is. These practices help you truly connect with yourself, honor your transitions, and release the old as you ground into a new way of being. Throughout our time together, we will regularly track and measure the impact of our work. This ensures we are making a tangible, positive difference in your symptoms and moving you steadily toward the goals that matter most to you. If this resonates with you and you’re interested in the possibility of working together, please message me to schedule a consultation call. I currently offer in-person psychotherapy in Westchester, offer telehealth sessions to clients living anywhere in New York State and New Jersey, and offer life coaching nationwide.
