Have you felt unbalanced and uncertain with new life transitions? Have you had a difficult time managing stress and anxiety? Dealing with difficult emotions that arise through challenging life transitions can negatively impact self esteem, relationships and work. You may feel isolated and confused when dealing with these emotions. Reaching out for guidance and support, while it may seem frightening, can allow you to regain a sense of self, balance, and joy in your life. It is my hope to help guide you in your journey through difficult emotions and life transitions. You will be able to work toward a better understanding of self, a feeling of purpose, and increased self esteem. As you learn healthy coping skills and maintain consistent dedication to the therapeutic process you can begin to find your sense of self. I have a specialty in Creative Arts Therapy with over 4 years of experience. My style is creative, warm, and authentic. While it is difficult to reach out for help, I hope to provide an environment that fosters safety and growth. I invite you to reach out and take the next step toward reaching your mental health and wellness goals.

I am a firm believer that not all therapeutic approaches fit all. CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing have shown to be beneficial throughout my experience as a therapist. With this increased insight, clients can challenge these maladaptive thoughts which can lead to improvements in behaviors and positive outcomes in their lives.

Clients I meet tend to experience a lot of emotional and psychological mistreatment in their childhood, and how that impacts their adulthood. I spend a lot of time with people helping them figure out their boundaries with others, and how to deal with conflict in different relationships. I’ve worked with people on the ideas of perfectionism recently, and how it can create a negative space internally when one’s standards are not met often.

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in person in Philadelphia, and I can see clients virtually in most states including New York. Because I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania and was the director of Penn's O’Brien Center for Addiction Treatment, I have extensive experience with the needs of Penn students. I work well with student athletes, including those who are recovering from injuries. I am very familiar with the application processes for medical school, veterinary school, law school, and business school--and with careers in competitive industries such as consulting, investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, and real estate development. I can help students with burnout and academic stress as well as anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt. In addition to working with Penn Students, I also have experience with students from NYU, Georgetown, the University of Michigan, Yale, Brown, Fordham, Drexel, Bryn Mawr, Villanova, St. Joe's, Cornell, the University of Delaware, the University of Pittsburgh, American University, Penn State, Thomas Jefferson University, SUNY Upstate Medical University, and many other schools. I have helped students to find meaningful romantic relationships and to heal earlier relationship injuries that may be getting in the way of intimacy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be very helpful for overcoming childhood and relationship wounding. More broadly, I am skilled at helping with career coaching, anxiety, depression, trauma, insomnia, grief, loneliness and addiction. I also work with people to improve their relationships with social media and screens. My style is nonjudgmental and flexible. I often use EMDR to help people to work through stressful or traumatic events and to better understand themselves. Depending on the client’s goals, I can integrate CBT, DBT, and solution-oriented approaches. I have extensive training in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and, for couples, IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out). I also have specialized training in the CRAFT approach for how to talk to loved ones about addictive behaviors without hurting the relationship. Using EMDR, I can help people to address the root causes of complex issues like addiction. My background is in positive psychology and addiction. My postdoctoral fellowship at Penn was in positive psychology. From that I learned to help people to use their strengths to build happier lives and careers.

Clients who seek my practice include those experiencing range of emotional distress or confusion, seeking clarity and balance in their life. In a compassionate and creative approach utilizing mindfulness, body-mind connection and tools from art therapy practice we work together to unlock your inner strength, wisdom and ability to move forward in a secure and confident manner. Long or short term therapy available, person-based.

Your space is a mess, your roommates are on your last nerve, you have a major assignment to work on, and you just cannot get a moment to think straight.

Feeling the pressure to succeed can feel unbearable. This is where therapy comes in. To learn how to address these thoughts & emotions in a safe space and develop a plan of action to move forward, feeling confident in yourself.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a passion for empowerment and self-care. I love collaborating with clients and developing a treatment plan that meets their goals and needs. I help clients identify and change patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that are unhealthy for them. I help clients find their way to their own inner wisdom to create change in how they handle difficult situations, be it at work or at home. I work to empower clients to create positive change in their lives. I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, depression, stress management, and queer issues. I offer a combination of CBT, DBT, Mindfulness training, and other evidenced based techniques to bring awareness to the power and personal responsibility in each of us. I help people who have been made to feel like they're not enough, to find their worth and strength. Together we will explore your personal fears, values, and goals so that you can build the life you want.

I create a positive and empathetic environment where you can feel validated and empowered. My approach is to support you in breaking cycles to create healthier patterns of behavior. Together, we can explore how intergenerational patterns of trauma may inform and repeat in your life and learn how to shift the narrative. I can help in learning techniques for better communication and boundary setting, as well as how to put yourself first. I specialize in trauma-informed care, including complex, childhood, and sexual trauma. I focus on PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, and gender identity and sexuality. I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques including IFS, psychodynamic, relational therapy, and mindfulness practice.

College can be a challenging time but it is also a time of great opportunity for personal growth. I have extensive experience working with college students, including 10 years as the Director of Counseling at a local college in the Hudson Valley. Whether it’s navigating relationships, exploring your identity, or managing the stressors of college life, I can help. Addressing challenges now gives you the opportunity to make lasting changes that can have a positive ripple effect throughout your entire adult life. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. I have offices within walking distance of SUNY New Paltz, and a short drive from Vassar College, Marist College and the Culinary Institute of America.

We are a group practice with three locations. We have immediate daytime availability and can schedule most evening appointments within 2 weeks. We’ve been proudly supporting Rowan University and RCGC students since 2013!

The idea of starting therapy can stir up many emotions for us. Maybe we're scared of getting vulnerable. Maybe we're struggling to accept that we need help and feel like we've failed. And maybe a little bit of us sparks with hope that something better can happen in our lives; that change is possible. Many people enter therapy feeling disconnected and low on hope, but together we can work to change that. I love helping clients to restore hope and connection with their most authentic selves. Over the last decade I have worked with people coping with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also bring a specialized focus in working with adoptees and caregivers (especially those who find themselves unexpectedly care giving for a loved one earlier in life than they anticipated). My work is most informed by a background in trauma, attachment, and self compassion. My favorite part of being a therapist is helping people to see themselves with more clarity and kindness.
