I am a well respected and accomplished psychotherapist practicing primarily in New York and currently doing Telehealth since March, 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. I work with adults and adolescents in individual, family and couples therapy. I am worm and supportive and have a down-to-earth, engaging and dynamic approach. I will work with you to help you identify problem areas and to formulate clear plans for improving your situation.
I will help you: reduce anxiety, make decisions, develop better coping skills, reduce depression, improve your self-esteem and self-care, improve relationships and communication and help you create a balance between your inner life experience (thoughts, feelings, moods) and your daily life functioning. Each person has their own individual unique life experiences and circumstances. I can help you focus on your strengths and improve your overall outlook.
I have a PhD from New York University and have taught social work practice and human behavior at NYU, Stony Brook University and Molloy College.
