I have extensive experience working with adults and older adults who are dealing with loss, anxiety, depression and trauma.
We all experience times in our lives when we feel that life is out of balance. Perhaps there is sadness, or longing. Something doesn't feel quite right. Or Maybe we experience the effects of past or present trauma and feel disconnected from ourselves or others. With presence and warmth my goal is to provide a nurturing environment where you can explore, process, and develop insight into why life feels the way it does. I'll strive to help you find sure footing as you navigate the uncertainties of life, and develop a deeper connection with yourself and others.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in NY & NJ, and my specialties include working the LGBTQ+ clients, and adolescents/young adults.
Pain is inevitable in life, but does need to stop us from living fully and beautifully. Through therapy I aim to help those I work with live deeper, happier lives with more balance and fulfillment. I believe that a strong, supportive relationship between the therapist and client is a fundamental factor in treatment. I see therapy as a collaborative process and empower those I work with to help direct the course of treatment. Additionally, I take a holistic view that includes attending to societal power structures that can contribute to and exacerbate the difficulties people face.

I work with a wide range of people including adults, adolescents and families.
Something called you to search for a therapist. Based on my clients, if you are asking yourself one of these questions, then today is a good day to follow through on what’s calling you- Why am I not as happy as I think I should be? Why am I stuck? Why is my relationship with (my partner/my kid/my parent/my friend/my colleague) so challenging? How do I take control of what I'm feeling? These questions are completely normal. Life is difficult but there is hope. Together we might be able to find some answers. We all deserve to experience joy and meaning in our lives.

I often work with adults who feel "stuck" or are having difficulty during life transitions and adolescents struggling with family conflict.
Currently, I only have weekday morning availability. I provide a safe and supportive space for my adult and adolescent clients to explore and work through the conflicts, concerns, and struggles that bring them to therapy. I believe every client has a set of skills and strengths that therapy can help to identify and build upon. Therapy focuses on uncovering underlying issues and thought patterns that may be negatively impacting the client's life. I also provide parent support to parents of adolescents who want to strengthen the relationship with their child/better understand their child's developmental needs.
