Although, I am a graduate of the Long Island Institute for Mental Health's training program in psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy, today most of my work draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based psychotherapy.
Helping someone to feel comfortable and safe discussing whatever they are struggling with is my highest priority. The decision to talk to a professional about personal problems is often difficult and frightening. However, the way I see it is that we all encounter challenges that may be beyond our ablity to handle well alone at some points in our lives. Having the courage to ask for help is really a strength rather than a weakness.
People who come to me for help say I am easy to talk to and provide them with the chance to develop a healthy perspective.

I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help clients build resilience and healthy coping skills.
As a therapist, my goal is to support clients in their journey by using individualized treatment approaches. One of the most important indicators of treatment success is the connection between client and therapist. I strive to cultivate a safe working relationship in which you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, and challenges in order to help untangle them. I believe that effective therapy can promote a renewed sense of self-worth and understanding through supported self-discovery.

The experience of finding a qualified therapist who feels like a good match can be exhausting. There are far too many options and the idea of telling a stranger anything about yourself is daunting. If you are reading this, you may be feeling stuck (or on the edge of becoming unhinged) and you are worried. My job is fourfold: to listen to your issues, recognize maladaptive patterns or behaviors, help to connect your emotions to your actions, and teach coping skills that nurture an overall sense of competency and contentment.

The Law of Conservation states that “energy cannot be created nor destroyed but rather transformed from one form to another”. Neuroscience and research support the idea that our responses to experiences, thoughts, emotions and memories produce a substantial amount of energy through neurotransmitters in the brain and somatic sensations throughout the body. My question to you is how are you managing and navigating your emotions? Are you finding yourself overwhelmed or struggling with understand your feelings? If the answer is yes, than I would say that this would be an excellent place for us to start.

Hello! My experience has involved working with children, adolescents, and families in both the school-based and clinical settings. Currently, I work with many children and adolescents to help them cope with anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, academic challenges, and behavioral difficulties. I am passionate about helping individuals to overcome obstacles so that they can be the best version of themselves. Building a rapport with clients is something I take pride in as a Social Worker, as without a connection it is difficult to begin the helping process.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
