I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in the state of New York. I have 11 years of experience working with individuals, families, couples and adolescents.
My primary speciality is helping people who are experiencing significant distress in their relationships, or having difficulty managing their lives due to external or internal turbulence.
I have experience helping people find ways to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, BPD, bereavement (grief/ loss), and trauma (PTSD, acute and chronic trauma).
I use the following modalities and approaches in my work: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), Attachment Based Psychotherapy, Somatic Psychotherapy methods, Solution Focused Therapy methods, Art Therapy methods, Gottman methods.
As a person and a therapist, I'm warm, attentive, active, expressive and curious. Once you've shared your situation with me, I will make clear recommendations and we will create a plan of action based on those recommendations, and your strengths and goals.
I really love my work and I look forward to embarking on this journey with you!
