At some point in our life we hit a bump in the road. It has been my experience that with the right tools and a supportive system, the client can do extremely well in therapy. My goal is not to have the client in therapy for years to come, but rather to enable them to get over the hurdle they face and live the most productive life that they can. Most of the work I do is with either individuals or families. My training is in Family Systems and I am an ongoing participant at the Family Institute of Westchester.

Life is complicated, with many factors that contribute to our personal successes and perceived challenges. I work with you to understand current sources of discomfort and frustration, to reshape systems and situations causing distress. For many, taking the initial step to start therapy is often complicated by personal expectations and self-judgment regarding what they “could” have done differently in the past, or what they “should” be able to change (on their own). If you are finding yourself struggling to make a similar decision, you’re not alone.

My counseling style is empathic and collaborative. I believe people can make changes in their lives. I work with a diverse population from different stages of life. My approach works with perceptions of self and the world. As perceptions change and grow; so do people’s lives. The meaning we assign to events and experiences can impact us. Sometimes, we may not even be aware of it. When awareness grows; change can occur. I enjoy seeing people make changes; small and large to improve enjoyment in life and relationships. As we work together, we will attempt to find solutions which work for you.

I want to empower youth. I want young people to feel confident in who they are by communicating their needs to others. I want to help your teen strengthen their identity, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-love, and self-worth. The stage of life from adolescence to adulthood is full of challenges. Most are seeking independence, respect, and autonomy, but often feel “stuck” due to personal experiences, peers, family, and cultural pressures. This can cause them to feel overwhelming emotions and not feel "enough" in their lives.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
