Deciding on counseling for your relationship takes courage. Yet, living in conflict and pain only causes more pain and anguish and confusion as to what to do. In my session I provide an emotionally safe space, to share and explore the dynamic, the wants, needs and all the variables that both of you need to communicate. I'm very neutral and non-bias, I commit myself to supporting you both. As a mediator in addition to my counseling, it is my skill to remain fair and impartial. Let's see how I can help you get the clarity and fulfillment in your relationship. In my own experience, when relationships are not working, nothing else is.

Life has become so challenging lately, hasn’t it? Sometimes you get weary just trying to put one foot in front of the other and keep going.

We often believe that seeking help is a sign of weakness, however to struggle alone allows us to remain weak. As a New York State licensed social worker with over 20 years experience within the field of mental health, I will provide you with a therapeutic environment in which you will feel safe and secure. Together we will explore the current struggles that are negatively impacting your life and find positive solutions so that you can achieve your desired goals.

“Am I capable of overcoming this?” is a question those struggling with anxiety or grief may ask. You feel exhausted from carrying the weight of the world and cannot pull yourself out of the gravitational pull of habits, coping skills, or relationships that add more weight. If struggling with anxiety, this may be a familiar dance you wish to stop, or if dealing with grief related to the loss of a loved one, this may be a new dance you wish never started. Whichever is you, no wonder it seems impossible to overcome these obstacles continually thrown your way, yet there is a possibility – and I am here to support you in that discovery.

I believe everyone needs individualized treatment. This includes taking in to account your personal history and development, as well as your current environment and social situation. It's also important for me to help you understand why you are feeling the way you do. People often have trouble in their thinking, relationships, work, or home life, and need help to sort these things out. Once we understand the difficulties you're having, then we can begin to make the changes that will make you feel better.

My approach is humanistic and existential. I focus on the individual, not on categorizations or labels. I tailor each treatment plan to meet the individual and unique needs of every single client. I help clients to become more self-aware and to understand what he or she might be needing/wanting. My intention is to help clients concentrate on the here and now while offering empathy, understanding, and compassion. By creating a supportive environment, it is my belief that individuals will feel safe and welcomed. I believe in creating a space that allows for open communication without the fear of judgement.

Reaching out is the first step in finding your safe space to explore your life experiences while healing the most important relationship in your life, the one you have with yourself. My approach as a therapist is to help you feel safe, heard, and comfortable while working toward your therapeutic goals. I meet each individual exactly where they are and utilize various therapeutic tools to elicit more self-compassion and provide understanding, comfort, and growth to guide you through your personal healing.

This environment invites healthy coping skills to navigate everyday issues. Between juggling my primary career as a school social worker, and raising three girls, I've learned that everyone's worries, anxieties, and fears are valid. These elements make everyone's needs different. Therapy is an avenue through dark times to sun light.
