I am licensed in California and New York with 11 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, communication deficits, addiction and eating disorders. I use evidence-based therapeutic interventions such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My goal in treatment is for us to work through the fear and anxiety in order for you to understand yourself on a deeper level, emotionally and behaviorally. I use compassion and take a nonjudgmental stance while balancing change and acceptance by encouraging clients to gently work toward their own individual goals.
