I utilize a mix of humor and empathy in sessions, and focus on empowering my clients. I use only evidence-based interventions, and I take my clients' lead as to whether they prefer a more passive, listening approach or if they want to set goals. I can assign weekly tasks to achieve goals or take a less active approach. I am licensed in New York and New Jersey with 17 years of experience helping adults and adolescents with depression, stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and bipolar disorder, among other conditions.
I utilize evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Behavioral Activation to assist clients with learning the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, as well as to learn and use effective coping strategies.
I have helped countless individuals overcome difficulties that have prevented them from enjoying their lives. I am truly fulfilled by this work and am grateful for every opportunity I am given to make an impact. I would love the privilege to work with you and look forward to hearing from you!
