I am originally from Long Island and Queens but now reside in Florida after my father, like most of us, decided he couldn’t go through one more snowstorm. My areas of special interest are anxiety, medical concerns, life transitions, grief and depression. I feel compassion, knowledge, coping skills and new actions often result in successful outcomes. My belief is that we are all in the same boat, as evident by an encounter with Dr. Anna Freud, granddaughter of the famous Dr. Sigmund Freud. She was set to be part of a panel at a conference. I was in the bathroom when she came in and advised me, a complete stranger of her nervousness!

Throughout my work in substance abuse and behavioral health, My focus has been helping those who struggle with addiction, while resolving underlying issues such as mental illness, trauma, grief, fractured relationships, self-esteem issues, and unhealthy boundaries.

Life can be difficult and challenging at times. You might be struggling with depression, anxiety, loss, relationship problems, career issues, or simply looking to live a happier and more stress- free life. We often believe that seeking help is a sign of weakness, and that counseling can be an intimidating prospect. Taking that first step in finding help is scary, but you do not have to struggle alone. Even if you are feeling hopeless and overwhelmed, you can overcome the obstacles that hold you back from success and happiness. Challenges or crises can be opportunities for growth and change.

Through my authenticity, empathy, and compassion, I provide a safe space for exploration and growth. I sincerely look forward to supporting and empowering you through this process.
