Life is an ocean of never-ending challenge; we can get overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, and feel out of control. Without proper support we miss the opportunities for growth that adversity offers. I provide a supportive structure that allows exploration of the most important aspects of your life and helps you develop concrete practical skills to better respond to the complex challenges life presents - - whether in individual, couples, or family therapy. You will learn to better know, understand, and accept more of your experiences and interactions as you discover and shape more satisfying layers of yourself and your relationships.

We all have trials and tribulations we face in life, that does not mean we need to face them alone. I'm a firm believer that the compassion and aid of another can do wonders in navigating life when one is going through a challenging time. Throughout my time as a Therapist I have learned that people possess all the tools needed to solve their own problem, though sometimes lack the knowledge in how to use them. I believe that people grown and overcome the hurdles of life when they have a safe space to go and can struggle without fear of judgment. If you are looking for a place and person who can offer this contact me today.

As a licensed mental health counselor (NYS) and licensed professional counselor (CT), my goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process- I will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Overall my approach to therapy is client-centric, meaning that I prioritize your needs and preferences in all aspects of your care. I recognize that every person is unique and that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to mental health treatment.

We all have the need to feel supported and understood. Therapy should be constructive and transformative, as well as serve as an important, set aside time for self-care. We know how far the physical environment goes towards making you feel comfortable, and have a positive experience. No one wants the stress of a hectic waiting area before your session, and we have built a comfortable environment to make your therapy appointments feel like a weekly getaway from the hustle and bustle of New York City.

My approach to counseling is to create a safe space for people to discuss their challenges and move toward a brighter future. I practice from the perspective of recognizing each person’s individual strengths and unique gifts as I assist them with processing feelings and recognizing thought patterns which may be hindering their ability to live their best life.

As a clinician, my most inspiring clients are the adolescents and adults that have overcome the struggles of addiction, eating disorders and family conflict. Effective change happens when strategies addressing the underlying problem are individualized and creative. The safe space offered in therapy allows my clients to explore their feelings, their choices, and challenge their patterns of behavior. I have worked extensively with teens struggling at school, at home, and with the legal system. My work with parents includes finding effective strategies to reach their teen while opening the lines of communication within the family system.
