I am a licensed mental health counselor from New York. I have over 10 years of experience working with at risk children and their families. I have worked directly with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, substance use concerns and family conflicts. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is interactive. I believe in building good rapport with my clients and providing a safe space to have open dialogues about their concerns. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, and person-centered. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to be aware of your needs and to seek out support to change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to partner with you and work towards the change you crave. I look forward to working with you!

Let me help you release your physical and emotional pain so you can let go of worries, stress, dissatisfaction and sadness. Individualized strategies are developed so that you and your loved ones can reach goals, foster positive energy and maximize potential. I work with both children and adults. Play therapy, behavioral techniques and a safe, nurturing environment is key for a younger population. In addition, compassionate listening, reflective exploration and a non-judgmental, supportive environment is provided for everyone. With a Masters degree from NYU and twenty years of clinical experience, my psychotherapy practice offers individual, family and group work. Techniques include insight oriented modalities, behavior modification, dialectical behavioral approaches, EFT and trauma based treatment.
