What makes your life rich, meaningful, satisfying, and important to you? Are your day-to-day thoughts and actions aligned with your interests, values and desires, uninhibited by anxiety and depression? Is your relationship with yourself one of inner support, curiosity, grace and compassion?

Are your relationships with others satisfying your needs for connection and growth, as well as for space and autonomy? If you are asking these questions and considering therapy as a means to find some new directions, patterns, or ways of experiencing life, I would like to offer you a comfortable and supportive environment within which to engage in a therapeutic process which effectively addresses those concerns.

About me:

As a compassionate and solution-focused psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience, I am a lifelong learner and committed to my ongoing personal and professional development. I have come to honor and respect all beings who are seeking health, wholeness, emotional re-patterning, relational intimacy, or relief from pain, be it physical, emotional, existential or spiritual. My specialties are connecting clients with their internal strengths and resources, and the gently yet effective resolution of trauma. While I utilize traditional healing methods such as cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches, healing is most effective when combined with therapies which access the body-mind connection, such as EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy, and mindfulness, all tailored to each individual or couple’s needs. My therapeutic style is active and engaging.

Formal Training:

Originally from Queens, NY, I obtained my Masters degree in Social Work from Adelphi University is 1989, and immediately went on to complete a 3 year certification in Gestalt therapy in 1993, and then became level 2 trained in EMDR in 1997, and certified in EMDR in 2006. I have been studying Internal Family Systems for the past 5 years, which has become the bedrock of my work. I trained for 1 year in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and I combine all of these approaches as needed.
