I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University and my Master's in Counseling from Nyack College. I have worked and trained in a variety of settings, including hospitals, University counseling centers, church settings and private practices. In addition to my private practice, I currently train and educate therapists and future counselors through workshops and graduate level courses.
Throughout my experiences I have had the privilege to work with a variety of individuals from all different paths of life. My experience ranges from helping with very crippling and lifelong struggles to those who are simply trying to discover their next steps in life. I have grown to appreciate the uniqueness of each individual. There are no short cuts to understanding the story of someone's life or coming to understand precisely what an individual needs to move passed his or her struggles.
I recognize that finding a counselor or therapist can be a daunting task. Not only do you need to find someone who understands you and can connect with you, but also someone who has the knowledge, experience and expertise to help you. I count it a privilege to work with people and enter into their stories. I take my role very seriously, balancing the commitment to see your world through your eyes with the science and understanding that will lead you down the road toward a happy, healthier life. Therapy is both an art and a science. The art is the relationship and the creativity necessary to develop a genuine connection and find the unique paths that will help that individual. The science is the theory and psychology that help us understand how the mind works, grows and heals. I am committed to both the art and the science and over the years, believe that I have demonstrated a facility in both.
