Supporting Your Well-Being

I am a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of 

experience bringing a person-centered and trauma informed approach to my work with individuals seeking to better manage emotional and behavioral issues resulting from anxiety, depression, past trauma/abuse, chronic health issues, and interpersonal conflict. 

I hold an Ed.M. in counseling psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University and a certificate of study in Whole Health Sciences from the National Institute of Whole Health. 

Navigating change, life's milestones, relationships, and our inner thoughts and feelings is challenging -- sometimes resulting in stress that negatively impacts our relationship with ourself and others, as well as our emotional, physical and spiritual health. In this midst of this, we are all striving to live a full life and to enjoy deep, meaningful connections. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a healing experience in and of itself.  Through the creation of an open, honest, genuine, trusting relationship, I show acceptance, respect, understanding and care in order for change, growth and healing to occur. 

I will use a variety of strategies to help you achieve your goals. The major vehicle for change is the development and maintenance of a warm, empathic and personally involved relationship. We will engage in a process that is solution focused; action oriented; and includes a mutual identification of goals. Through support, education, skill building and coaching, I will support you to better manage the emotional, psychological and behavioral issues interfering with your overall sense of well-being.
