As a Rapid Transformational Therapist , I'm passionate about helping individuals rewire their brains to project positive images and words. I believe in the power of beliefs—first you make your beliefs, and then your beliefs make you. My mission is to empower others to break free from limiting beliefs and unlock their true potential. I chose to become an RTT therapist because I find the approach both creative and innovative, and I'm excited to work with clients to help them improve their lives. I can help you identify and overcome negative thought patterns that may be holding you back. By becoming more attuned to your beliefs, you can create a brighter, more positive future for yourself. Let's work together to unleash the best version of you!
Thank you for your interest in my practice. I have been a licensed clinical social worker in the Mid-Hudson Valley since 1994. I offer supportive psychotherapy to children, adults, couples and families in the community. Within the context of a caring therapeutic environment, I collaborate with clients on addressing a range of concerns including relationship issues, life transitions (such as going away to college, coping with divorce, becoming a first-time parent) and managing stressors at school, work and home. Capitalizing on each individual's unique strengths and needs, I assist clients in finding ways to enhance their personal effectiveness and overall life satisfaction through opportunities to develop new skills and valuable insights. I am committed to staying current in my knowledge base as a mental health clinician so that I can best serve the persons who entrust me with their psychological well-being. My post-graduate training is ongoing and includes certification in the field of Grief and Loss. Having this background, I am particularly attuned to how emotional wounds that were inflicted in the past may be making their legacy known in the present. I have also been certified by the Smith College School for Social Work in the area of Advanced Practice with Children and Adolescents. My practice is sensitive to all areas of diversity, including race, gender, religion, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation. While I work with persons of many faiths and creeds, I do offer Christian-based counseling by request.
Do you find yourself dealing with anxiety or relationship challenges? Are you using substances to cope with difficult feelings or situations? These struggles can feel overwhelming, but having support can make a meaningful difference. I work with individuals who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns and are looking for guidance, insight, and practical tools to move forward. In therapy, I help clients build healthy coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. My approach focuses on becoming more aware of thoughts and emotions to better understand challenges and develop effective, lasting solutions. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and substance abuse. I aim to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I use an integrative, client-centered approach tailored to each individual’s unique needs and therapeutic goals. I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult and vulnerable. I'm committed to creating a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and supported throughout the process.
My approach to therapy is Humanistic-Existential. Therapy in my view is a sacred journey to the core of one's being in search of meaning. Not unlike other explorations, here too, desire, determination, planning, and a roadmap are needed. Your therapist plays a critical role in planning and mapping your most crucial journey. There are times when psychological anguish has reached an overwhelming point by the time therapy begins. There, the 1st priority of therapy is to help the client to unpack the message enveloped in suffering. Therapy can help bring the realization that pain is the prelude to true awakening without which there can be no lasting clarity to light up your path in life. My beloved mystic, Rumi says it most eloquently in "only when you break you let the light in".

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.
Many people come to therapy because they feel "stuck". You may not believe it right now, but you are the expert on your life. Therapy is one way to help you navigate toward your personal sense of freedom. Everyone must struggle through ups and downs, but when your thoughts or emotions begin to stand in your way, then it may feel like you will always be ruled by your feelings. My job is to help you find out how your thoughts and emotional life can serve you and help you find motivation to change what doesn't work for you and then... go out and live your life! I try to help my clients through strength-based therapy that can be exploratory (long-term) or solution focused (short-term). Contact me to find out more.
In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs.
