I opened my private practice in 1993 in New York and moved my office to New Jersey in 2000.  I am licensed in both states and offer both in-person and virtual in New Jersey and virtual sessions for NY clients. I provide a wide array of counseling services to adults, teens, couples, and families, including:

 

• EMDR

• IFS Therapy

• Individual psychotherapy

• Group psychotherapy

• Couples therapy

• And more!

In addition to my private practice, I worked for over 27 years as a school social worker in high schools in NYC. I have vast experience and expertise working with adolescents and their families.

 

I view therapy as a journey of healing and self-discovery. It can sometimes be exciting and at other times be painful, but in the end, you will gain a new understanding and greater self-compassion.

 

EMDR therapy is an extremely effective modality to help individuals deal with very troubling and traumatic experiences from their past.  Through the use of EMDR, one is able to process the disturbing memories and eventually arrive at a place where the memories, while not forgotten, become much less disturbing.  In this way, the person is able to gain a great amount of distance from the traumatic experiences and live a happier and more productive life.

​

I have also been trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. This is a very dynamic therapy.  Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a compassionate, evidence-based approach that views the mind as made up of different “parts,” each with its own perspectives, emotions, and roles, all organized around a core, calm, and wise “Self.” Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or behaviors, IFS helps clients build understanding and trust among their parts—through our work together, the client can arrive at a point where they are able to release burdens and conflicts and create a sense of inner harmony in their life.

 

Though individual sessions work best for some, adding group therapy to treatment is an extremely effective tool, especially for adults and teens. My therapy groups often help provide an awareness of oneself in relation to others, valuable feedback, heightened communication skills, and improved self-esteem, all within the confines of a safe, supportive environment. The combination of group and individual therapy sessions will allow you to make faster, more robust changes to transform your life.

​

For those in relationships, couples therapy can be life-altering to help get your relationship back on track. There is no wrong time to take a step towards a healthier life.
