If you are experiencing increased anxiety and/or depression for issues such as: a recent loss, career transition, unresolved anger marital/relationship difficulties, aging parents and/or self-esteem, it might help to seek professional help.
It is my goal to provide a safe, comfortable, therapeutic environment for all of my clients. As a psychotherapist, I believe the most influential vehicle in supporting and helping my clients exists within my clients and is accessed through our therapeutic relationship. I hold all clients in a positive regard and aim to help clients identify and use their own strengths to solve their personal struggles. Let's face it, we all go through periods of self-doubt and high stress. To struggle is human.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed these days, but in therapy you can find ways to bear up. I have years of experience helping people with problems in their careers or relationships, or with tough choices or life events. I work with people who feel down or anxious, who feel like their lives haven't gone in the right direction, or who have trouble believing in themselves. I listen actively, because I think therapy should be a lively, challenging discourse, and I want my patients to feel comfortable speaking up. I'm certified by the American Board of Professional Psychologists. I have a bachelor's from Harvard and a doctorate from LIU.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here and taking this courageous step to better yourself. People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, but you’ve come to the right place if life has felt more stressful than is manageable for you. The way you’re doing things isn’t helping you anymore. It is only making you feel more stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. If you have been struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, stress, OCD, low self-esteem, relationship issues, life transitions or sports performance issues then let's connect.

Have you been feeling "stuck?" Are you having difficulty coping with stress in your life due to relationships, parenting, employment or other life transitions? Do you have concerns about your child's behavioral or emotional functioning? Does your child have difficulty interacting with his/her peers? If any of the above ring true, please know that you are not alone. Often, accepting that there is a problem, or that something in your life needs improvement, can be a difficult first step. It is not uncommon to encounter bumps in the road, though it's important to know that these challenging times CAN improve.

Effective counseling, like effective parenting and teaching, involves understanding where someone is at in their growth process and providing them with a safe space and the supports essential to move to the next level. Developmentalists refer to this as "scaffolding". Like scaffolding for a building, these external supports are specific and put in place to allow for expansion and strengthening. Now, think about your favorite mentor or coach. It is likely that they provided support and encouragement that was a good match for you. As a counselor, I provide these supports, assisting my clients in reaching their greatest potential.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and my goal is to provide a safe and comfortable space in which to begin the process. My clients tend to be introspective people with loud inner critics who seek relief from anxiety, shame and relational trauma. Many are helpers and artists who place great value on how they show up in the world but struggle internally with low self-esteem, maintaining boundaries and making decisions. Using a collaborative, curious and nonjudgmental approach, I assist my clients in clarifying their values and goals, resolving ambivalence and building deeper connections.

Life is an ocean of never-ending challenge; we can get overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, and feel out of control. Without proper support we miss the opportunities for growth that adversity offers. I provide a supportive structure that allows exploration of the most important aspects of your life and helps you develop concrete practical skills to better respond to the complex challenges life presents - - whether in individual, couples, or family therapy. You will learn to better know, understand, and accept more of your experiences and interactions as you discover and shape more satisfying layers of yourself and your relationships.
