About

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in New York. I have a Masters's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University-Los Angeles. Previously, I had a 30-year career in the Film & Television industry. When I was younger, my passions were Film Business and Psychology. I always said that the day I become disinterested in the Film business, I want to go to graduate school, get my degree in psychology, and become a psychotherapist. That day came, and here I am. I have been practicing since 2009. So, congratulations to you for seeking an opportunity to address your concerns. New clients can be anxious and ambivalent about seeking a new therapist, which makes sense. When I meet a new client, I am taken by their courage and motivation to seek therapy. This speaks to your desire to feel better. My counseling style is warm and relaxed, and I like to provide a comfortable and non-judgmental environment. I work with clients with a broad range of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship, family, communication, career, and anger issues. I believe everyone deserves a chance to feel better. I am fascinated with everyone’s story, which comes through my virtual door, and it is my honor to collaborate with them. I use multiple theoretical orientations, and I use them as clients' needs warrant. Some include Motivational Interviewing, Emotional Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, among others.
