About

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of New York. My work with individuals is built on a foundation of patience, openness, and non-judgment. I enjoy helping others accept and see the value in themselves so they feel empowered to make the changes in their lives that will bring greater joy, peace, and positivity. All of us have strengths within, and resources around us, that can make our lives better. I help you tap into these strengths and resources based on your personal goals.

I have over a decade of experience working with individuals and families, with seven of those years as a therapist. I have expertise in the areas of stress/anxiety, parenting issues, developmental disabilities, trauma, and family conflict. I help individuals work with their thoughts and behaviors to improve their ability to face the difficulties that life may bring (and see things in a more positive way). I incorporate relaxation techniques and practical information that can be used right away to enhance this process. I want to help you reduce stress and anxiety so you can feel a greater sense of freedom in your life. This can lead to great self-discovery and a new knowledge of exactly what you're capable of!

For those interested in working through trauma, I am trained in two forms of trauma treatment--cognitive behavioral trauma therapy and emotional freedom techniques (commonly known as tapping). This means that we can tailor our work together based on what is best for you. For adult family members (especially parents), I can help you address family concerns that you want to change. You will learn skills that research shows are effective in building happy, healthy households. I will also help you address emotional concerns that go along with family difficulties. Please note that I do not provide online counseling to minors.

Regardless of what brings you to therapy, you will find that I help you focus on the positives--what is going well in your life already, and what will be going well in your future. We all can get stuck in the negative sometimes, but there is always a way out! Together, we will find the right path that leads you towards achieving your goals. I look forward to hearing from you!
