I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with six years of experience providing psychotherapy. I came to the field a bit later in life after exploring other pursuits as a young person in New York City, and I love this work. I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, struggles with identity, and life transitions. I love working with young people who are navigating adulthood and experiencing many "firsts". I believe in the importance of the clinical relationship and utilize a relational approach. I will meet you with empathy and curiosity. It’s important to me to help you identify ways to cope, to resolve intense symptoms, and to go beyond the mind by working with the body.

I believe that therapy is a space where you can explore feelings, troubles, and ideas in a safe, caring, and nonjudgmental place. You can form a working, trusting relationship in order to begin to build understanding while empowering yourself to increase your quality of life.

Clients I meet tend to experience a lot of emotional and psychological mistreatment in their childhood, and how that impacts their adulthood. I spend a lot of time with people helping them figure out their boundaries with others, and how to deal with conflict in different relationships. I’ve worked with people on the ideas of perfectionism recently, and how it can create a negative space internally when one’s standards are not met often.

Never thought you'd find yourself looking for a therapist, or had a disappointing therapy experience before? Much of the success of treatment depends on finding someone whom you can trust, who is as invested in seeing you make progress as you are. I have a solid track record working with children, adolescents, adults and families to create change in their lives...even when situations feel hopeless. I use an integrative approach that draws from relational, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and systems modalities. I am a trained drama therapist and play therapist, and use these skills when they help to support the treatment process. I offer individual, group, and family therapy. I am adjunct faculty at NYU and Lesley University, former supervisor at a residential treatment center, and the author of numerous articles and four books on trauma, child/adolescent treatment, and working with boys. Call me to set up a consultation or visit my website to find out more.

GREENLAWN, NY

I have been in practice for over 30 years. My practice specializes in anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, phobias, and "life issues." I see college students dealing with stress and anxiety relating to college, career decisions, relationship issues. Also see people who are struggling with bereavement, adoption issues. I work with people of different ages/stages: Young adults, mid-life and senior citizens. When dealing with life issues and anxiety I use Cognitive/Behavioral therapy techniques as well as psychodynamic techniques. When dealing with phobias, I believe in helping patients learn techniques to help relieve some of their anxiety symptoms and then working on their thoughts/cognitions which effect how they talk to themselves. My philosophy is : Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. Isn't it time you started enjoying yours.
