About

Life can be difficult at times. If you feel depressed, angry, worried, feel negatively judged by others or are unhappy with who you are; you're not alone. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that each year over 16 million adults in the U.S. have an episode of depression. Add to that the number of people struggling with anxiety, rage, low self-esteem loneliness and every other mental health problem and the percentage rises to more than 1 in 4 adults are . And yet, almost no one ever talks about it. We suffer in silence; cry when we're alone, pretend everything is fine when around others; and deny we are unhappy if anyone asks. That was my story until, after years of going to therapists who didn't help, I finally started working with a Cognitive-Behavioral psychologist. She identified how my thinking and behavior was trapping me in misery. She taught me new skills that changed the way I talked to myself, and I began building building my self-esteem up instead of tearing it down. Because of her, I went to graduate school and earned my PhD in psychology and started a private practice in New York. I have 15 years of experience helping others. I see therapy as an education we all should have gotten. Being a human is very complicated, we need a professor to teach us how to deal with it all. That's my goal as a therapist: to give you an education about yourself.
