Selected by NASW as Nassau County's "Social Worker of the Year for 2013", I have been providing quick symptom relief and comprehensive healing for 32 years. As I believe in "different strokes for different folks," I utilize Havening, EMDR, and DNMS to achieve these results. Clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and panic attacks have all benefitted. I also provide counseling for alcohol and substance abusers where I specialize in relapse prevention. Child and adolescent issues are also actively addressed, along with parenting concerns. Relief is available for those experiencing grief and other trauma i.e. car crash victims.

Smiling is hard when there’s only pain inside. High anxiety, racing thoughts and loneliness overshadow every hint of joy in your life. As your energy plummets, small tasks become huge. Just talking seems like a chore. Irritability and exhaustion are a constant battle. Loved ones complain that you are removed and shutdown. You want to let them in, but it’s hard to trust anyone. It’s become impossible to turn off that negative voice in your head that keeps saying you aren’t good enough. No one understands. Everything triggers you. The past is tied up with the present, your thoughts are dark, and you’re afraid of losing everything

In the Buddhist tradition it is noted: "all that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become". This quote reflects my psychological approach to the problems people bring to me. My approach is as pragmatic as it is philosophical, as caring as it is confrontative and as serious as it is humorous. This may sound contradictory but life is not linear and therapy is a microcosm of life. The relationship that develops be tween a therapist and the client is the heart of the engine of change that defines therapy.

Children with ADHD and executive function disorder face the daily struggle of not meeting expectations. Expectations come at them from so many sources: school, home, peers, extra-curricular activities, and more. The constant feeling that they are falling short or disappointing teachers and parents creates enormous stress and impacts their sense of self-worth, thus resulting in depression, anxiety and acting out behaviors. Ever feel like you, as the parent, are at a loss as to why your child is acting out or how to help them to keep up with the demands around them?

Sometimes we become overwhelmed with life's many challenges and can't seem to get things right. Stress can overtake our lives and leave us feeling bog down, thus feeling stagnant or repeating the same negative patterns. Together I can help you achieve a personal sense of well being through counseling. My therapeutic approach is an interactive goal oriented approach using cognitive behavior therapy. Our thoughts, emotions and behaviors essentially create our lives! They can create within us tremendous sadness or overwhelming joy.

You feel stuck and not sure how to move forward? Perhaps you're feeling lost and confused, or a sense of unease about where you're at in life, but can't put a finger on why. It’s hard to connect with your partner, family & coworkers. You’re beginning to feel unhappy in your relationships & becoming more frustrated. Your support system feels like it's crashing and you're “all alone". It is exhausting pretending like you have it all figured out. Every person's story is unique and has the ability to rewrite their narrative. On the outside you look relatively put together, but on the inside it’s a different story. Let's figure it out!
