Life experience brought me into the field of counseling psychology in 1998, when one of my children was diagnosed with an autistic spectrum disorder. I was inspired by what therapists were doing to help, and I became fascinated with how the mind works. I wanted to learn and to help others. In addition to practicing CBT and mindfulness to manage my own stress and anxiety, I researched and consulted with many providers to learn all I could, to better understand how to manage and how to help my children and myself. My personal experiences, including raising and advocating for two children (now adults) on the autistic spectrum, deeply inform my work as a clinician.
Since 2010, I have had the privilege of working with many individuals, providing support through genuine understanding, and knowledge of an array of therapeutic techniques. My primary modalities are Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) which provides very fast relief, typically in 1 - 5 sessions, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which teaches how to self-counsel. My approach to CBT is structured, comprehensive, and interactive in a way that enables thorough understanding of your personal thought process, and develops strategies for making the changes that you want to make.

Prior to starting my practice, I worked with a broad range of issues in intensive outpatient programs as a therapist and clinical supervisor. I've worked with individuals, families, and groups, and presented at conferences including the New York Mental Health Counselors Association (NYMHCA) and the New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (NYAPRS) conferences.
I am equally enthusiastic about helping individuals meet their therapeutic goals, and about sharing ART and CBT with other clinicians. Since seeing consistent and remarkable results with Accelerated Resolution Therapy, I believe that every clinician would benefit from adding ART to their therapeutic toolboxes. I am grateful for the opportunities to use ART as a therapist, and to teach ART as a trainer. |
