Welcome! I’m so glad you have taken the first step to finding some peace and wellness, I hope I can help in your journey! I believe that everyone can benefit from having some time to work through some of their “stuff”. We all have it… baggage, traumas, anxieties, struggles… whatever you call it, it can get in the way of living the life you want. I am here to help. I use a client centered, eclectic approach to help you find your way to wellness and peace. I provide a judgement free, safe and confidential space to work through all this “stuff”.

It takes a lot of courage and strength to ask for help. Life can be overwhelming, scary, and devastating at times. I am here to help. Together, you and I will draw on your inner strengths to find the resolution and personal growth you are looking for. I am dedicated to helping you find your way through life's many challenges and gaining some peace of mind along the way. I offer a strong emphasis on person-centered care, cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectical-behavioral methods. I am trained in EMDR (effective treatment approach for individuals who have survived trauma).

Hello! I am a New York State licensed Psychotherapist with over 21 years of experience. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and reshape negative thoughts and unproductive behaviors or issues in a client's daily life. Many of my clients find it helpful to set goals together and break problems into small, manageable steps. I work in collaboration with my clients to achieve short term and long term goals.

I believe that everyone has inner strengths and abilities that are at times overshadowed by life circumstances and physical/mental health/spiritual struggles. With caring support and encouragement individuals can regain perspective, recognize and use their strengths, and grow further in their ability to manage symptoms and life stressors allowing them to overcome barriers to their wellness. Having 35 years of experience in the mental health field, I've dealt with a variety of issues primarily in the areas related to depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, emotional regulation and grief/loss.

Hello! I am a licensed therapist with over 13 years of experience working with couples and individuals.

Are you a non-traditional person looking for a non-traditional therapist? Maybe one that looks like you or that they can personally understand what you are going through, maybe that is me. I am a member of the Society for Sexual, Affectional, Intersex, and Gender Expansive Identities and am familiar with non-traditional lifestyles. I am kink, non-monogamy, LGBTQ+ friendly, and friendly to both traditional and non-traditional faiths and spiritualities. I specialize in working with relationships and families in particular relationship issues, life transitions, family conflict, and opening up previously monogamous relationships.

What ever has brought you here, I will take your lead in achieving goals at the pace that feels most comfortable to you. I have worked with individuals to build resiliency, decrease symptoms of anxiety and/or depression, PTSD, grief/loss, conflict in relationships, parenting skills, and processed traumatic events. It is important to me that you feel seen, heard,and supported especially during the vulnerable process of therapy.

I help clients work towards their goals in a way that aligns with their values by accessing strengths, identifying resources and overcoming challenges. My training, interpersonal skills and cultural awareness have allowed me to foster meaningful relationships with clients of varying cultural identities in a variety of settings including outpatient, inpatient, college clinics and mostly recently telehealth. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY and working towards becoming a Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor. I am also pursuing a doctorate in counseling and counselor education.

My primary focus includes meeting people where they are on their personal journey and helping them to better understand themselves, work through unresolved issues, and increase their quality of life. Together we can work on overcoming life’s challenges. Everyone’s story is unique and deserves to be heard. My goal is to create a safe, open, and nonjudgmental atmosphere where we can work together on your unique challenges.

The decision to begin therapy can be an isolating and anxious time, especially in these current crazy times that seem to have no end. Am I the only one who feels this way? These feelings may even at times shut you down. You may be experiencing losses and transitions of all kinds, or have weight and eating concerns, gambling concerns, relationship problems or who just want career counseling. We can explore these together. I work with men, women, and adolescents of diverse backgrounds, who might not believe that counseling can be sensitive to their needs. We can either meet in person or online.
