Mental health is nothing to "work on later" or neglect. This is the place you can be vulnerable, emotional and free of judgement. I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 22 mi away • Astoria, NY


The core of my work has been to help people find solutions that work, to problems that prevent them from moving forward and living satisfying lives and relationships. I help people who feel stuck, to overcome life’s challenges, regain control of their lives and become the managers of their own self. Over the last 17 years I have been working with adults, teenagers and children from different cultures both in the US and overseas. Through my specialization and experience in severe and persistent mental illness I help people tackle emotional and communication difficulties that interfere with their relationships with friends, family

and the workplace. In my clinical work, I use evidence based psychotherapeutic approaches that have been proven effective through time. In a compassionate, and supportive environment I help people deal with a variety of problems like anxiety, trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, personality disorders,

emotional, relationship issues and divorce. I have extensive experience working with veterans, college students, substance abuse and LGBD individuals. In addition to individual therapy I do parent consultations for children and teenagers.

Therapist

What if improving your relationships isn’t starting together, but starting with you? As a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I work with individuals who are curious about their relationship patterns and ready to create meaningful change from the inside out. You may feel stuck in recurring dynamics, find yourself questioning how your family background shapes your relationships, or want to communicate more effectively. Together, we create a space to gain clarity, better understand what’s driving these patterns, and begin making intentional shifts toward healthier, more balanced relationships.
