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.

I have worked with individuals with trauma, emotional dysregulation, mood disorders and self-esteem. I use a blend of solution-focused, CBT, and person-centered treatment. In my spare time, I spend time with my wife and 3 boys enjoying time outside and helping them discover new things. When I'm not with them, I enjoy gaming, Marvel movies, and anime.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and you are not sure where to turn. We all have times in our lives when we are struggling and need to know that help and support are there for us. Although it can be hard, reaching out and taking that first brave step will set you on your journey towards healing and happiness. I will help you to feel good about yourself and your life. Here you will find a place where you are always accepted.

I was trained in the 1980's in Transpersonal Psychology. It is a model that focuses on the interplay of Western Psychology and Eastern Religion and Philosophy. As a Transpersonal Therapist, I recognize that each person has the power to heal and transform their own life. My role as a therapist is to help facilitate this process. Sometimes our life experiences negatively impact the way we think and behave. By co-creating a safe environment where you will feel comfortable sharing your story, we will examine the thoughts and feelings you are struggling with and develop different more healthy ways of relating to them. As you become more skillful with relating to your feeling and thoughts, you will begin to make more healthy choices; thus creating the life you desire.

I have been a licensed professional counselor since 2008 and have been working in the field since 1996. My ideal client ranges from adolescence through adulthood. I have been working with families, couples, and children for the past twenty-five years with a range of diagnoses and difficulties. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, marital problems, adjusting to a divorce, parenting issues, family conflicts, stepfamily issues, interpersonal struggles, and other mental health issues. I take an eclectic approach and provide cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, and existential therapies to meet the unique needs of each of my clients. I strongly believe that a safe, collaborative, and caring therapeutic relationship is essential to effective therapy and can provide a foundation for healing and growth.

Thank you for your interest in my practice. I have been a licensed clinical social worker in the Mid-Hudson Valley since 1994. I offer supportive psychotherapy to children, adults, couples and families in the community. Within the context of a caring therapeutic environment, I collaborate with clients on addressing a range of concerns including relationship issues, life transitions (such as going away to college, coping with divorce, becoming a first-time parent) and managing stressors at school, work and home. Capitalizing on each individual's unique strengths and needs, I assist clients in finding ways to enhance their personal effectiveness and overall life satisfaction through opportunities to develop new skills and valuable insights. I am committed to staying current in my knowledge base as a mental health clinician so that I can best serve the persons who entrust me with their psychological well-being. My post-graduate training is ongoing and includes certification in the field of Grief and Loss. Having this background, I am particularly attuned to how emotional wounds that were inflicted in the past may be making their legacy known in the present. I have also been certified by the Smith College School for Social Work in the area of Advanced Practice with Children and Adolescents. My practice is sensitive to all areas of diversity, including race, gender, religion, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation. While I work with persons of many faiths and creeds, I do offer Christian-based counseling by request.

There are times in life when we struggle and feel hopeless. We try our best to be resilient, but sometimes we need help in finding our inner strengths and developing strategies to move forward. I am here to help encourage and support you to break general patterns to move you towards your goals. You deserve to live a life full of meaning and joy. We will work together to help you achieve your desired goals! I specialize in engaging and motivating individuals by identifying thoughts and behaviors that interfere with achieving their desired outcomes. This collaborative solution-focused therapy is motivational and focuses on building strength and resourceful ways to deal with life’s situations in the present and future. Your comfort and trust are most important in my practice. I understand the difficulties of seeking help and will provide a non-judgmental space to help you discover your own abilities to heal.

I have been working with individuals and families since 1998. The majority of my work has been with adolescents and adults who struggle with a variety of psychiatric, emotional and behavioral issues in individual and group settings. My specialties include Trauma, Anxiety, Mood Disorders (Depression, Bipolar), Addiction, Anger Management, Borderline Personality Disorder and Parenting. My approach to therapy draws primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Who am I?” or “What truly lights me up inside?” Do moments of feeling stuck, frustrated, or lost creep in more often than you’d like? Perhaps addiction, grief, or loss weigh heavily on your heart. My work is a gentle invitation to meet yourself with kindness and curiosity, offering a safe space to rediscover balance, safety, comfort, and joy—gifts that may be closer than you realize. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, collaborative space focused on what matters most to you. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), and solution-focused therapy, tailoring each session to your journey. With years as a licensed social worker—and life shaped by fitness, education, and parenting teens—I bring expertise, lived understanding, and genuine compassion. If you’re here, you may be yearning for recovery, growth, or clarity, while also feeling some hesitation—emotions that are valid and welcome. We’ll move at your pace, building trust to uncover confidence and direction. If you’re ready to tap into your innate wisdom and self-compassion, I’d be honored to support you.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Relationships can be complicated, and it is natural for people to see things differently. Yet, some of life’s greatest joys come from the connections we build with our loved ones. The quality of our relationships deeply impacts our overall well-being. If you are feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, caught in the same arguments, or unsure if things can truly improve, you’re not alone. If you feel hopeless about the future of your relationship and are unsure whether to stay or go, you don’t have to navigate this alone. If you are facing conflict, trust issues, or lingering emotional wounds, support is available—healing is possible. With over a decade of professional experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the complexities that shape our relationships. Using evidence-based psychotherapy methods, I work closely with clients to help them navigate challenges, heal from past wounds, and foster personal growth. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative—empowering clients to gain insight into thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be holding them back. Together, we will develop healthy coping strategies and rebuild strong, fulfilling relationships with yourself and those you love. I integrate a range of therapeutic modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), The Gottman Method, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailoring my approach to each client’s unique needs. Additionally, I offer Brainspotting, a highly effective method for processing traumatic memories and alleviating emotional distress. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of counseling thousands of individuals, couples, and families, leading seminars worldwide, and publishing articles—all with the goal of helping people heal, grow, and create deeper, more meaningful connections. If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I would be honored to support you in creating the life and relationships you deserve. Reach out today, and let’s start this transformative journey together.

Are you suffering from depression and anxiety or dealing with trauma, grief, or relationship issues? Do you have a sense of emotional overwhelm that leaves you feeling empty and exhausted? Are you dealing with chronic health issues of your own or a loved one? Have the stresses of your life disconnected you from the joy you were once able to feel? The stresses of human existence can become too much to handle on your own. It is in these times that you need the support of a professional. I am a Licensed Psychotherapist, Registered Yoga Teacher, and Ayurveda Lifestyle Counselor. My unique blend of healing modalities called Holistic Integrated Psychotherapy brings a rich tapestry of knowledge to the therapeutic relationship. Merging traditional psychotherapy with yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and Ayurveda practices allows for a deeper level of healing for the mind, body, emotions, and spirit that one will not attain with traditional psychotherapy practices alone. These modalities are not just practices but ways of understanding how we as human beings relate to ourselves and each other. One does not need any experience with yoga to benefit from this mind/body/spirit approach, all you need is to be open to the connection between this trilogy. Holistic Integrated Psychotherapy will guide you to heart based healing. Begin your journey today. Contact me for a free telephone consult.

Psychotherapy can help end depression, anxiety, and bothersome thoughts and behaviors; it can alleviate pain and help you to enjoy life more. I specialize in helping clients discover and resolve the root cause(s) of their symptoms and also help them to understand how maladaptive thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors keep them from achieving their goals and attaining happiness; they learn to free up energy for making positive changes in their lives. Your session is time for you; it is your time to be heard.
