I am a well respected and accomplished psychotherapist practicing primarily in New York and currently doing Telehealth since March, 2020 due to the Covid pandemic. I work with adults and adolescents in individual, family and couples therapy. I am worm and supportive and have a down-to-earth, engaging and dynamic approach. I will work with you to help you identify problem areas and to formulate clear plans for improving your situation.

I will help you: reduce anxiety, make decisions, develop better coping skills, reduce depression, improve your self-esteem and self-care, improve relationships and communication and help you create a balance between your inner life experience (thoughts, feelings, moods) and your daily life functioning. Each person has their own individual unique life experiences and circumstances. I can help you focus on your strengths and improve your overall outlook.

I have a PhD from New York University and have taught social work practice and human behavior at NYU, Stony Brook University and Molloy College.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
