One of my favorite opening lines is from the spiritual classic, The Road Less Traveled, by M. Scott Peck. It reads, simply, "Life is difficult." Somehow, most of us expect that it won't be. Or that if it is, we should be able to handle it effortlessly. We criticize ourselves for feeling very human things like loneliness, confusion, anxiety, anger, boredom and depression when things don’t go the way we hoped. Unfortunately, life does not come with a user's manual for how to work with the hard stuff. And yet these very difficulties, the roadblocks at which we find ourselves, are often opportunities in disguise. I see counseling as an opportunity. First and most important, it is a chance to be heard. Things often begin to shift when we can share our inner thoughts and feelings with someone who is really paying attention. I have worked with many people who come up with their own answers when they are able to hear their deepest selves, sometimes for the first time. Counseling is also a chance to learn new life skills. If I had name what I think the most important life skill is, it would be this: psychological flexibility. This means the ability to respond flexibly to yourself, to others and to life. How to get there? By working bit by bit on the following: articulating what matters most to you in life; developing the behaviors that will move you in that direction; handling stumbling blocks along the way; and learning how to respond skillfully to difficult thoughts and feelings that are part of being human. I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. The psychological approaches that best inform the way I work are: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Human Givens Approach to Emotional Health and Clear Thinking, and Attachment Theory. The following people have greatly influenced my thinking: Dan Siegel, Stephen Porges, Russ Harris, Karen Horney, Rick Hanson, Mark Tyrell, Milton Erickson, Michael Yapko, Peter Levine, and Pat Ogden. In addition, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher, as well as a Licensed Clinical Massage Therapist. This means I bring a mind-body approach to counseling, including, if you are interested, instruction in basic calming yoga poses and breathing exercises. If this resonates with you, or you are curious to know more, feel free to contact me at any time!

As a seasoned clinician in New York, I come to you with more than twenty years of experience practicing in the field of mental health, where I have served both in large health care systems and smaller community-based organizations. In these environments, I have been privileged to work with individuals and families who faced emotional and psychological struggles, depression, anxiety and stress related to career, family, life/role transitions and conflicts. Additionally, those challenged with coping with chronic/terminal illnesses, varying degrees of trauma and mental health disturbances were also among those whom I have served. So whether it is one of the previously mentioned stressors you face, or you are just not feeling like yourself because of the pandemic we are living with, I can help you navigate through them and work to regain a better, healthier you. Given the insurmountable loss, whether it is loss of loved ones or loss of routine, we are prone to, or may have experienced, reactions and essentially may be reconsidering the way we live our lives. Often stress not only impacts our mental health, but also our physical health. Realizing that achieving wellness can take time, my goal is to collaborate with you at every encounter to accomplish your goal. Overall, I pride myself on being a good listener, is compassionate and empathetic. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to seek professional help and an even greater amount to make change.

Right of the bat, I would like to thank you for considering me as your therapist. While I am currently licensed in New York, my story doesn’t start there. I graduated with honors from Monmouth University, allowing me the opportunity to sit for the pre-licensure exam once I graduated. Unfortunately, I did not pass the exam on the first go and that broke me so much, I started looking out of state for work opportunities that allowed therapists to work BEFORE taking the exam. Six years later, I finally sat for the exam again and PASSED! Why am I sharing this? Simple, it’s so easy for us as therapists to get wrapped up in the image that we’re perfect and I want my clients or even my potential clients to see that I am VERY MUCH human, too! And we all go through failures, trials, and tribulations. With all of that being said, while the exam allowed me to get licensed, I was a resident working with clients, much like you. With over 7 years of professional work experience, I have had the pleasure of working with clients who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, and grief & loss. I am an EMDR trained therapist, though I do NOT suggest 45 minute sessions for this, so if this is something you are interested in, we can discuss this in your sessions. I work with my clients to create an open, safe, and confidential environment where thoughts and emotions can be shared without fear of judgment. Additionally, I am a Certified Spiritual Coach. I have undergone my very own personal spiritual journey over the past two years that has taught me there is absolutely so much more to life than just going through the motions. I assist my clients as a whole, meaning I take into consideration not only your mind, but also your body, as well. This means we work on supporting your body in order to feed your mind with healthy hormones. I do take my role as a therapist and ethics responsibly, with this being the case, I do request if you choose to work with me that we work through video teletherapy, as I find this resource to be the most effective for my clients. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I am so proud you have taken the first step! Even if you do not choose to work with me and you’d like to find someone that is a better fit. That’s OK! I am here to support you in whatever process you desire!
