Over the past 30 years, a combination of diverse experiences and extensive training have made me the therapist I am today. I have always been interested in what makes us who we are. How much is nature or nurture, what are we born with and does the environment shape us. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for people to make meaning about their lives, the choices they make in school, work and love. Therapy is a process. Though there is often no simple, quick solution, it provides a safe space to explore in-depth, emotions, thoughts and actions to bring about change.

It is my belief that mental illness and addiction can be treated successfully when a therapist and client have an active, open, and trusting, collaborative relationship. Sometimes an individual who is suffering needs to believe that there are solutions available for them and the chance to change. I have extensive training in working clinically with adolescents, young adults, and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, job burnout, addiction, or painful life transitions. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist and am extremely focused on helping my clients find solutions for their current problems.
This is an open adult group with participants ranging in their age and needs. The group is normally composed of 4 or 5 higher functioning individuals. Patients must be engaged individual therapy.

I still see individual DBT and non- DBT patients as well as family members with loved ones with personality disorders in my private practice.

Seeking therapy can be a daunting task and often people are ambivalent about entering a therapeutic relationship. Through years of psychotherapy practice with adolescents, adults and couples, I have found that real change is possible when one feels safe, validated and accepted. My work is grounded in the belief that with the right support and practical tools one can gain confidence in tackling obstacles such as anxiety, depression, loss and difficult life events or transitions. My style is integrative, interpersonal and solution focused. I believe it is most important to meet the individual where they are.
Do your emotions often run your life? Do you wish relationships were more meaningful? Do you engage in less than ideal behaviors to cope? If you resonate with these feelings, you are not alone. People report frustration with one or more of these areas at some point in their lives. The problem is most people don't get help. At best they hope the problem will go away. At worst they struggle through each day thinking this is how life is. Don't let this be you! Learning new skills, habits, and mindsets is a simple and effective way to improve your quality of life!

I work with adolescents and young adults.
My goal is to support clients in becoming the best version of themselves. I see therapy as a tool to support and motivate clients in taking control of their lives. I believe that therapy is truly for everyone- you do not need to have a major problem to start therapy. Therapy can be a place where we discuss the good things happening in your life! However, starting therapy is a vulnerable process. I am here to support your experiences and to provide you with the tools to better cope with situations. I focus on exploring clients' inner voices and beliefs that dictate how we interpret situations.
I am seeking referrals to individuals of all genders for a closed, interpersonal process group forming in the Fall. This group will meet weekly in my office in Union Square.
