Previously, I worked with children/adults with Autism and intellectual disabilities and their families.
After starting my own family I became passionate about supporting sensitive, people-pleasing women who are trying to maintain a healthy work/life balance and still leave room for self-care and boundary management. My expertise lies in helping women debunk harmful messages from society that keep us trapped in perfectionism and comparison. The focus of my work with clients centers around exploring and setting goals, assertive communication training and self-esteem building. I’m on a mission to help my clients feel empowered and connected to their authentic selves.

My clinical experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults facing behavioral or mental health challenges.
Your life is an ongoing journey and it's time to make yourself a priority. Are you not living the life you dreamed of? Or do you often feel frustrated that your relationships, home life, and career are less than satisfying? Have you ever wondered what is stopping you from feeling happier, more confident, and in control of your future? We live in a society so busy that we can barely hear ourselves think. Its rare that anyone feels truly heard and listened to. I can help you to learn to lead a more authentic, self-actualizing life that works for you. Perhaps you're looking to take steps towards healing, but are unsure where to start.

I help people because I make it possible for them to bring their issues and concerns into the therapy session in order to resolve these problems in the treatment. Whatever we accomplish in this task carries over to the client's outside life and they become more successful. I am able to do this because of my many years of supervision with some of the top therapists in the New York area. I also train other therapists and I was cited as a supervisor of excellence by the California Psychological Association.

I am a psychologist in private practice for over 20 years. The people I see struggle with depression, anxiety, loss, troubling behavior, and relationship problems. I strive to be warm and empathic and provide a space where people can work through past painful experiences and develop stronger coping skills and healthier patterns of relating to others. I help to identify sources of hope and meaning that help cope with stressful circumstances. Psychotherapy can help bring about a greater sense of emotional freedom, self esteem, and more satisfying relationships.
