I work with clients to identify their most important areas for personal growth, develop plans for change, and enact that plan; by matching the therapy to the client, ensuring that every client develops tools and strategies to tackle their own personal challenges and life transitions.

Through years of providing individual, couples, and group therapy in addiction and mental illness treatment, I developed keen understanding of contributing issues: relationships, life transition, grief and loss, anxiety . I specialize in helping people better utilize existing ways of managing stress and developing new strategies to cope with life problems.

Beyond my educational training and being a N.Y. state Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have continued specialization training for anxiety, completed 2 year certification in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and am a certified facilitator for Premarital Therapy by Prepare-Enrich.
