I'm a licensed therapist in New York with 23 years of work experience. I have supported clients facing various challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship and family issues, parenting, chronic disease management, grief, and trauma. I believe in a compassionate interactive approach to therapy. My style focuses on providing a warm environment where you can feel comfortable openly exploring your thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Deciding to engage in therapy is a big step and I'm here to help educate, guide, and support you through the process. I'll tailor the treatment plan to be in alignment with your unique and specific needs and goals. My approach to therapy is influenced by Attachment Theory and draws from many different modalities as I believe it's important for a therapist to be able to adapt their approach to their client's needs. These modalities include ARC (Attachment, Regulation, Competency), MST (Multisystemic Therapy), Solutions Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I believe people seek therapy when they are ready for change and I'm able to support you through every step of the journey. Taking the first step is courageous and I'm glad for the opportunity to help you.
