As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I also have a Master of Fine Arts Degree from New York University. I have many years of experience working with children, teens and adults within the world of the performing arts which has greatly inspired my approach to helping clients understand and overcome life’s challenges. I have worked in higher education, public elementary schools, and for private companies. Through a trauma-informed lens, I work to collaborate with each client on therapeutic goals using a strengths-perspective and person-centered approach.

I have been in private practice for over 20 years, and being a psychotherapist is my life's work and passion. I love helping people deal with issues that may block them from being themselves and living their desired life. I, too, have a group practice with Therapists that use the same approach and modalities called Lightpath counseling group. The website is on this account for you to view.

As a licensed psychotherapist for more than 25 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people of all ages, as well as couples and families as they navigated through the challenges they faced. I truly love what I do, and I am passionate about helping people get through difficult times, helping them to be happier and more fulfilled in their lives and relationships. In order to help more people, I formed a group practice of compassionate therapists, each with their own unique style and set of skills, and a passion for helping others.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help, so kudos to you! I believe in a strengths-based, client-centered approach in my practice. I strive to provide my clients with a warm, comfortable, and supportive environment to undergo their mental wellness journey. I am a trauma informed therapist and am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. Trauma can come in many forms such as childhood emotional/physical abuse, sexual abuse, witnessing/experiencing relational violence, and surviving horrific incidents. It is worth mentioning I enjoy working with and empowering adult children of emotionally immature parents.

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.

Life is to be enjoyed....not endured.
Every person deserves the opportunity to grow and develop, and to achieve their full potential. Emotional issues often deprive the individual of the opportunity to make informed choices about their lives. When an individual is suffering from emotional pain it may seem like there is no hope. I listen to you and help restore hope. I help you to break free from problems/symptoms causing emotional pain.
I help support you toward making healthy changes in your life. I have been providing these services for over twenty years.

I have been working with children and adolescents and their families for over 41 years. Therapy includes sessions with child and consultations with parents. When appropriate and with the parents' permission, consultations with teachers and other school personnel are conducted. I will speak with any person that impacts your child's life. Ultimately, the goal of therapy is to create conditions in your child's life that will lead to their growth and development. Recently, I have had success with young children experiencing anxiety due to sensory integration over-load and separation anxiety.

My therapy perspective is as diverse as the community I serve. My work with individuals is geared toward strengthening their sense of self. I also facilitate peer support groups and small intimate therapeutic groups. My therapeutic model is a combination of Rogerian (person-centered therapy), and the Empowerment Approach (the connection between "social and economic justice" and "individual pain and suffering"). Family Systems Theory (connected to a living system); and Feminist Theory (gender and related concepts remain central to feminist social work theory). With this blend, the entire overarching concepts are framed.

We all encounter wounds from different phases of life, relationships and traumas. However, we aren’t always taught the tools that offer us resolution and healing. We are conditioned to be victimized by this pain rather than transforming it for a greater purpose. I believe when we integrate using our gifts towards life’s challenges and fully embrace the darkness within us, we can use it to our advantage, turning our pain into purpose.
