About

Struggling with emotions that control and confine your life? I offer counseling for adults in a safe and relaxed atmosphere that helps you explore and understand your emotions, while teaching you practical skills to get a better sense of control. My clients describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and comforting. I’ve helped numerous people who once thought of themselves as “broken” get to a place where they can believe in themselves and be in the driver's seat with their thoughts and emotions. As a therapist, I use a variety of tools and techniques to help you in treatment, starting with looking at your own strengths and values that guide you in your everyday life. Our relationship is based on a collaboration with your goals in mind. Ultimately, I’m going to teach you how to become your own therapist by helping you become aware of your own behavioral patterns, and teaching you practical techniques to correct unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to help my clients with their symptoms, but use other therapies and modalities as appropriate, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I also work with couples using the Gottman Method and elements of CBT, and especially enjoy working with inter-racial/inter-cultural couples. While I work with individuals of all backgrounds, I have extensive experience working with Military Veterans, Corporate Executives, and Tech Industry Employees. I currently serve as an Adjunct Instructor for NYU’s Counseling and Wellness Master’s Degree Program. Licensed Clinical Psychologist: Washington 60965267, New York 024973
