How do you work with clients with anxiety?

I work with people to help them find the solutions and answers to the questions and concerns they bring to therapy. I believe we are the experts in our own experiences, and that you know yourself and your own path of healing and mental health better than anyone else. I am here to provide my expertise and presence as a guide to help you gain a deeper self-understanding, along with the confidence and tools to make the change you want to see in your life.

I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in New York with over 8 years of experience working as a psychocounselor and MST Therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, adolescent defiant behaviors, sexuality and ADHD. I’ve also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and reality counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek support for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

You are on a constant rotation of feeling anxious, depressed, worried, or stressed. You have a lot of responsibilities, people counting on you, and yet sometimes it feels like you can barely keep your head above water. You're not exactly sure when life became this way. You've been through so much and still have so much to do. How exactly are you suppose to keep this up? You can't possibly handle one more thing put on your plate. Once upon a time you felt like a warrior. Now you are struggling to connect to the fire within you. You've tried working through your problems on your own and nothing that you know to do has worked. You want to truly enjoy your life again and feel connected to those you love. You want to set new goals and go about reaching them. You are desperate for more fun, laughter, and balance in your life. It takes a lot of courage to heal and grow, and just the process of realizing that you don't have to do it all alone is a huge step. You can do hard things! With the ability to do online line sessions, I make therapy easy and convenient to fit into your busy life. There are some therapists that will simply sit and listen to you. I am not one of those therapists. I will listen and support you AND I will challenge you to be the warrior that I know you are! Check out my website and reach out today!

When you are in the depths of pain or struggle, taking action seems impossible or pointless. In an uncertain world, how do you even begin to find a path forward? You are not alone or broken. I am here to encourage and empower you…to help you find hope and strength. You have the ability to create your future. One where you have the clarity and confidence needed to succeed on your terms. The power to engage in life and relationships in healthy ways. Together, we will work toward a life that you want to live! I offer a non-judgmental space where you can dream again. In our sessions, we will collaborate to create safety and find solutions based on your actual needs rather than assumptions. It is your time to be able to explore your life and get the support and resources you need to accomplish your goals. When you are ready, I look forward to learning how I can serve you. I have a wide range of appointment times open and you can get started with counseling in as little as one week. Visit my website to learn more and to schedule a free initial consultation. It’s convenient and confidential.

My training in couples work and trauma means I have the expertise you need and deserve when seeking therapy. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a real-life human struggling with all the demands of life right? I get it because I’m an actual wife, mom, entrepreneur, and daughter of a Law Enforcement Officer. I know that balancing family and marriage while trying to maintain sanity and a career is the opposite of easy. I also firmly believe in the healing power of humor and story-telling. So you won’t get a stuffy, intellectual in a suit when you work with me….you’ll get a real person.
