I am licensed in New York with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I am trained in Rational Emotive Cognitive Behavior Therapy (by the Albert Ellis Institute of New York), EMDR (by EMDRIE) and my practice also includes interventions from Gestalt, DBT, Internal Family Systems, and other therapy approaches. I believe that when addressing fears and anxieties, the most effective approach is to work toward facing those fears a little bit at a time with tenderness, patience, acceptance, and imagination. I often see clients work through their problems and experience relief from symptoms after getting to the bottom of their core fear. In my practice, I also see a lot of individuals with perfectionistic styles, traumatic backgrounds, and self-neglect, that result in procrastination or overwork, burnout, and self-blame. I am here to support and empower you to change these symptoms by shifting to flexible attitudes and beliefs, which frees up room for problem-solving and behavior change.
