My philosophy and vision in treatment involves facilitating a combination of talk therapy and mindful body practices, enabling each person to realize his or her unique self with compassion and awareness.

At the heart of my work is the belief that our deeper emotional experiences—those moments of stillness, vulnerability, and emotional heaviness—are not obstacles, but invitations. Invitations to slow down, tune in, and move toward what is sacred and ready to be healed. I offer a calm, grounded presence, allowing you to feel safe, seen, and understood. I specialize in working with individuals, particularly those who are highly sensitive and navigating the layered impacts of complex trauma, identity exploration, and relational wounds. In addition to my clinical work, I studied theatre at The New School and have a deep love for Broadway. I even dabbled in stage management, which continues to inform my therapeutic approach. My creative background enriches how I work with clients—I value presence, attunement, and bringing a deep sense of humanity and nuance into each session

I have been providing counseling for the last 15 years. Through my experiences, I have worked with individuals and couples in overcoming challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma PTSD, codependency, addictive behaviors, gender dysphoria, grief and many other issues that stem from both biological and environmental sources. I understand that choosing to begin therapy can seem overwhelming, especially when working with a new provider. As a member of the incredible staff of Long Island Psychology, my primary focus is ensuring our clients' comfort in treatment while developing a therapeutic plan that is tailored to their needs and strengths. I utilize a variety of evidence-based treatment models that I feel will yield optimal progress. Counseling sessions take place in Roslyn Heights, with additional locations in Rockville Centre and Garden City. Telehealth sessions are available as well. Struggles can be a part of everyday living but it does not have to define one's mood or overall outlook. I have learned so much from working with my clients and have been in awe of their motivation for positive change and continued motivation. I look forward to meeting you and providing whatever assistance I can to help you feel and live better.

I honor each individual's unique characteristics and strengths. In that spirit, I tailor my methods to the unique needs of the client - utilizing cognitive behavior therapy, psychodynamic, and humanistic modes. I am warm, encouraging and a strong motivator. My extensive background as a psychiatric social worker helps me to advocate for my clients and has provided me with special skills and life experiences that I bring to my psychotherapy practice.

I focus on creating a safe and inviting environment for clients who may have difficulty expressing themselves. I support clients by integrating art therapy and psychotherapy. This approach enhances your confidence, allowing you to better cope with anxieties, challenging behavior patterns, and the stresses of everyday life.

I am a compassionate, experienced psychologist, in practice for over 35 years. I have been fortunate to have a vocation that is my avocation; and, relatedly, I expend substantial effort in ever-broadening my skills so that I can be as effective as possible in helping my clients reach their goals. In addition to clients that I help in my practice as a therapist, I enjoy helping others through the self-help books that I write for adults, and for children and their parents.

The decision to begin psychotherapy can be a life-changing one. I work with each person collaboratively to address everyday problems as well as long-standing issues and concerns with a focus on understanding underlying causes. We will uncover patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you, opening the way toward understanding and growth. In addition, I have experience with infertility and reproductive disorders. I am an experienced psychologist and psychoanalyst and work with adults and adolescents. My goal is to increase self-awareness, and develop healthy coping skills to become the best person you can be and live a more fulfilling life. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and our work will be tailored to your unique needs, goals, and pace. I offer both short and long term treatment.

Bridging the worlds of psychology and creativity, I provide compassionate and effective psychotherapy for you, utilizing special techniques of mindfulness and imagery developed over 40 years that connect you to your creative, spiritual self. Reducing anxiety and alleviating depression, requires accurate identification of issues, seamlessly integrated with analytic understanding in order to find inner control of the root emotions that cause moods and behaviors. Understanding you fully, I will help you identify the forces creating conflict and help you resolve them, and find peace.  Are you struggling with anxiety, depression? You know something's wrong but don't know what it is...I can help....I have over 40 years experience passionately helping people understand their emotions and thoughts , with tried and true techniques that have been proven successful! I provide Psychotherapy for Adults, Children and Individuals with Special Needs (Trauma, Autism) with a specialty working with children experiencing challenges to their mental health, such as adoption, divorce and grief. My unique approach utilizes both verbal and creative imaging techniques. This combination is particularly effective with both adults and children of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, self esteem, socialization, focus and concentration. For children and individuals with ASD and any ID I help release pent up frustrations while teaching the language of emotions leading to self control and self regulation. This opens the door to modeling appropriate interpersonal communication skills which can then be utilized in the larger environment of everyday life.

I firmly believe in meeting my clients where they are in their current struggles. I hope to empower them to move toward productive, healthy futures. Whether you want to grow in awareness, resolve relationship challenges, or move beyond depression and anxiety, I can help you. I am skilled at building strong relationships with my clients. I can relate to their challenges & use humor to help them feel comfortable. I help them open up so they can address their needs. I am experienced at helping domestic violence and sexual abuse survivors, as well as adolescents. I also have experience helping couples with relationship concerns.

We all have gifts from God, and I believe helping people to heal is one of my gifts. We are all on a journey of self discovery. All aspects of our life including the work that we do, the people that come into our lives, and the things that happen to us all provide an opportunity for growth and deepening our connection with ourselves and others. I have known I wanted to be a therapist since I was 13, because it was the first time when I saw a therapist that someone actually tuned into my feelings. Through this experience, I felt seen and truly began to see myself. The most valuable subject we can learn about to be successful in life is ourselves! How are we supposed to navigate through our lives without knowing ourselves? How can we be centered if we do not understand some underlying principles about psychology, such as how we interpret our environment, defense mechanisms we employ to protect ourselves from pain, and the mind-body-spirit connection? How can we navigate the many ups and downs of life without this knowledge? We cannot; we will be lost! That is why there is so much suffering in our world, because individually, as families, and as a society we are trying to navigate our lives without truly understanding and healing ourselves. Through understanding and healing, it helps to stop years of negative multi-generational patterns in families and helps to promote a deeper, happier more peaceful connection within and with others, which in turn, makes our world a better place.
