Life can be both painful and challenging, but that does not mean that you have to go through it alone. Therapy is often a great place to start (or continue) when we are in need of some extra support.

I have a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Adelphi University and a New York State license in mental health counseling. I use a client-centered approach to counseling and believe each client is an individual with unique issues. As a counselor, I work collaboratively with clients to help them make progress towards their therapeutic goals. I provide a safe, supportive environment throughout the counseling process in order for clients to feel comfortable discussing their most personal issues. Although life is difficult at times, engaging in therapy can prepare you with the skills necessary to manage your stressors and live a healthy, fulfilling life.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and collaborative, and I believe in tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. My focus is on fostering a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to develop new insights and skills to achieve lasting change.

We serve children (ages 5 and up), adolescents, and adults across the lifespan. We treat conditions including but not limited to Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Autism, Developmental Disorders. We also focus on the treatment of stress and anxiety in individuals coping with chronic medical illnesses.

I would be honored to work with you, to help you make it through these difficult times and get to a better place. I believe that everyone has the inner resources to heal their wounds and improve their lives. As your therapist, I can help you to access these resources and utilize them to achieve your goals. My objective is to help you discover your full potential, and to be the very best version of yourself.

Are you suffering with suicidal thoughts/behaviors, self-harm, managing your emotions, interpersonal issues, impulsivity or trauma? If so, I am here to help. My ideal client may be struggling with functioning in many areas of their life and may have a past history of trauma that they have not been able to share. The clients I treat are seeking skills to be able to treat these symptoms so they can heal.

I offer bilingual DBT and CBT treatment for adolescents, adults, and their families. I work best with clients that are seeking intensive support and are committed to making positive changes in their life. At Suffolk DBT we provide a fully comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Program. We will help you learn to become more self aware, regulate emotions, get through a crisis without making things worse, and have healthier relationships. If you avoid things due to anxiety we will help you approach things using skills , one specifically called opposite action.

Does your child have problems regulating his or her emotions? Do they go from 0-100 in no time and are they prone to frequent behavioral and emotional outbursts? Have you noticed a change in him or her? Are you concerned that your child might be unhappy? I offer a warm, genuine, and skillful approach to treatment in which children/adolescents learn that its ok to be emotional. That being sensitive is not a bad thing at all . Although others may not understand , I will sit with you, listen, observe, and we will ride this journey together. I have helped thousands of families to heal. Let me offer you the same hope.

My patients are adult individuals and couples with diverse backgrounds and varied needs. They represent every gender, orientation, and identification. I work with patients experiencing a wide array of symptoms and issues, ranging from mild concerns through catastrophic symptoms. People of all ethnicities, faiths, races, belief systems, and cultures are welcome in my (virtual) practice; all can expect to find respect, genuine caring, palpable empathy, dignity, collaborative treatment. Many concerns can be resolved effectively via virtual/remote treatment, but if you require in-person care, I will help with a referral (for now).

If you're feeling overwhelmed by depression and anxiety, wrestling with past traumas, or simply seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you. I understand the weight of these challenges and your need for a safe space. You want someone who will listen without judgment, someone who can guide you through the complexities of your emotions and experiences. You're seeking a transformation—a way to overcome your hurdles, discover your strengths, and build a more fulfilling life.

I teach and practice a fushion of spiritual psychological and social tools to help individuals and families strengthen their relationship with self and others in an effort to optimize outcomes such as mental and physical health, professional satisfaction and goal attainment.

I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship you build with your therapist. A good therapeutic relationship is one in which you not only gain insight into your thoughts and behaviors, but you also feel accepted and supported as you work toward making positive changes in your life. My main goal as a therapist is to build a therapeutic alliance with each person I work with that is based on acceptance, trust and support, from which it is possible to reach a level of awareness that opens the door to life altering changes and transformations.
