I try to help all patients who come to me. Through mostly medication management, I address depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety, impulsiveness, anger, mood instability, addiction, nightmares, focus and sleep issues.

I work with adults and couples, offering mental health counseling services from a trauma-informed and collaborative stance. I use experiential approaches that foster self-examination and self-compassion, on the one hand, and that facilitate growth (reflected in behavioral change or a shift of attitudes or mindset). I work with clients (age: 21+) interested in emotional self-regulation, in learning and practicing assertive and mindful communication, and who look forward to the gradual embodying of their therapeutic learning.

Deciding to go to therapy is a difficult choice for most individuals. I try to make the therapy process as comfortable as I can, from the moment you walk through my door. I provide a safe and supportive environment where one is free to express themselves openly. I am patient, compassionate and understanding to my client's needs. Therapy can help an individual to overcome unresolved feelings, emotional pain, trauma, loss and hurt. I want to assist you in this journey towards a better "sense of self". I look forward to meeting you and beginning our journey together.

I work with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, often dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship stress. Many are used to handling things on their own but reach a point where they want clarity and change. Together, we identify patterns, improve communication, and build practical tools to help you feel more in control and move forward with confidence. I combine cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a person-centered approach to help you understand your thoughts, manage emotions, and create real-life change. Sessions are supportive, practical, and focused on giving you tools you can actually use outside of therapy. Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, but you don’t have to figure everything out alone. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, understood, and in control, this can be a good place to start.

If social anxiety has been holding you back from living the life you want, whether it's speaking up at work, forming meaningful connections, or simply feeling comfortable in everyday social situations, I'm here to help you move forward with confidence. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC) with an M.Ed., I specialize in helping adults overcome social anxiety using evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and exposure and response prevention (ERP). These proven methods provide practical tools and strategies that create real, lasting change. My educational background includes training from New York University (NYU), the University of Southern California (USC), and the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, where I developed a strong foundation in behavioral therapies that actually work. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to face your fears at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we'll work to understand the thoughts and patterns that fuel your anxiety, develop concrete skills to manage difficult emotions, and build your confidence through carefully planned exposures. My approach is warm and compassionate, while also being structured and action-oriented, because I know that real change comes from both insight and practice.

My philosophy and vision in treatment involves facilitating a combination of talk therapy and mindful body practices, enabling each person to realize his or her unique self with compassion and awareness.

You deserve a life of happiness and health. Together we can understand your life, then craft a plan that addresses the source of your stress. Are you overwhelmed, or unsure how to achieve your goals? Therapy is a powerful tool that can resolve the difficulties you face. It strengthens coping skills and self-esteem.

I believe in the power of therapy to heal and to bring a shift in ones perceptions. My effort is to engage the other in a cooperative process and in doing so to open all kinds of other possibilities in one's life. I have worked as a therapist for quite a few years and feel that the initial coming to the office is a difficult first step, but one that in the end will enable you to have a better quality of life.

My approach is eclectic and integrative because I believe therapy should fit the individual, not require the individual to fit a single method. I draw from psychodynamic conceptualizations, cognitive behavioral therapy (), behavioral activation, motivational interviewing, mindfulness-based, supportive, person-centered, strengths-based, and relational approaches, depending on each client’s needs and goals. I am active, practical, and collaborative in session. I listen closely, identify underlying patterns, and offer honest feedback and concrete tools clients can use in everyday life. At the same time, I take a holistic view, considering emotional well-being alongside relationships, family dynamics, physical health, routines, values, and a sense of purpose. My style is warm, intuitive, and insightful, with a playful sense of humor that helps therapy feel comfortable and human. In my work with couples and parents, I focus on communication, trust, conflict resolution, shared expectations, and becoming a stronger team. I also support men’s mental health while honoring strength and traditional values. I help men build emotional awareness and healthier relationships without treating masculinity, responsibility, discipline, or commitment as problems to overcome.

You’re probably known as the person who has it together. From the outside, you’re capable, successful, dependable, and handling all the things. But inside, your brain may feel like it’s running 47 browser tabs, and you can’t figure out which to close. Maybe you’re exhausted from being “fine,” stuck in perfectionism or overthinking, or carrying a mental load that would qualify as a second full-time job. You may be great at taking care of everyone else while having absolutely no idea what to do with your own needs. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to perform, achieve, fix, or have it all figured out. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York. I specialize in complex trauma and work with high-achievers, perfectionists, and parents who have learned to survive by being capable, responsible, accommodating, and in control. Using approaches such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work, we’ll explore the patterns underneath the coping without shaming the strategies that helped you get here. You don’t have to wait until you’re completely burned out to ask for help. Maybe you’re ready to understand why you can accomplish so much and still feel like you’re barely keeping up. Together, we can move beyond simply functioning and begin creating a life with more connection, flexibility, and ease. Let’s talk about it.

My work with individuals, families and couples focuses on Life’s journey and the challenges faced along the way. Insight and understanding of one’s relationships with self and others helps you to grow, heal and change to reach your individual potential. My goal is to provide a safe environment and therapeutic relationship where my clients can grow and and understand relationship issues as well as workplace stress. By learning to manage stress, depression and anxiety, I help my clients to create the space they need to reach their potential and continue on a journey that may have become stalled.

Psychotherapy can help end depression, anxiety, and bothersome thoughts and behaviors. It can also alleviate pain and help you enjoy life more. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, I specialize in helping clients discover and resolve the root cause(s) of their symptoms. I also help them understand how maladaptive thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors can keep them from achieving their goals and attaining happiness, so they can free up energy to make positive changes in their lives. Your session is time for you; it is your time to be heard.
