My philosophy of “Let’s Make It work” builds on the strengths of individuals while acknowledging and accepting, but minimizing their weaknesses. I am a trained Cognitive Behavioral therapist with a strong commitment to the overall health of those interested in engaging and making positive change in their lives. In understanding the importance of the “whole” development of a person, I strive to make sure each session is not only person centered but also approached in a holistic manner.

While working on My Master’s Degree at New York University, I developed a strong commitment to working with children and teens. My experiences have helped me work with some of the most challenging children and producing change through evidence-based practices. Additionally, my use of Play Therapy has shown efficacy with children expressing themselves in creative ways.

 My area of specialty is all populations from children to adults, families and couples.  In addition, I have extensive experience working with veterans and active duty men and women.  I am a true dog lover and spend my spare time pampering my Shih Tzu Teddy.

Currently meeting the needs of: Adolescents (starting at age 13); adults; individuals; families; and couples.
