Therapeutic services offered remotely by a NYS licensed psychologist with over 20 years experience. My philosophy is to view each client I work with as a unique individual. I treat people, not disorders.
My clients are often experiencing increased stress, worry, sadness, and a feeling of uneasiness that impacts their daily life. These feelings may be intensified by struggles in personal relationships. I begin therapy in a holistic manner, learning who my clients are as a whole person and working collaboratively with them to determine the most effective course of treatment. I practice through a psychodynamic lens, helping clients to understand how experiences from their past might be informing their present challenges. I offer CBT and DBT techniques to help clients reframe negative thought patterns, sit more comfortably with anxious feelings, and implement improved communication skills to achieve more meaningful, joyful relationships. I integrate creative elements into the therapeutic space, inviting clients to move into into breathwork, journaling, music, and art as a means to foster deepened exploration and insight into the issues at hand. I bring warmth, humor, and deep insight into the therapeutic relationship. I understand the vulnerability therapy entails and believes feeling comfortable and connected to your therapist is integral. I believe in the power of the therapeutic process to help you move through difficult experiences towards greater feelings of connection, self-compassion, and wholeness. On the practical side of things, I am a Licenced Creative Arts Therapist and board-certified music therapist working with young adults in prominent teaching hospitals and in private practice for over 7 years.

However, everyone possesses inner strengths to overcome their barriers. I will assist you in bringing out these strengths and adopt healthy coping mechanisms.

To meet the needs and busy schedules of people, I also offer an internet-based platform. Availability for individuals, groups, couples, and families. I respect all forms of therapy, but if you envision beyond counseling that follows the standard constraints then this is the right fit for you. Please visit the website EBCounseling.org
