It takes courage and strength to enter therapy and it is important to find a good match with your therapist. I will treat you as a human being, not a number or diagnosis. Sessions with me will be a conversation and I will be myself in our sessions. At times, I might make you laugh; when we are talking about hard things, you might cry. But this will always be toward the goal of helping you reach a better place. As a seasoned practitioner with over 25 years' experience, I use strategies that include CBT, DBT, Mindfulness and other concepts to help you reach your best potential.
Licensed in NY and CT with over 25 years experience, I employ a positive humanistic approach focused on strength-building to create positive change for people. I will work to create a strong alliance with you while utilizing a combination of cognitive and behavioral work, along with mindfulness and acceptance, to help you become the best version of yourself.
I believe there is good in all people, and I believe that conflict very often stems from miscommunication. We will look not just at how others have impacted your life but also at any assumptions that perhaps made you interpret a situation in a way that might not have been accurate. Through that, we can start to heal.
