Westchester I am a NYS Licensed Psychotherapist providing high-quality evidence-based therapy to adolescents, adults and families. My areas of specialty include: helping people rapidly recover from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, OCD, and relationship issues. I provide a warm, respectful and non-judgmental environment where you can comfortably engage in a collaborative relationship and learn powerful skills to manage stress, reduce anxiety and return to a happier, more balanced life. My approach is interactive, empathic and strengths-based. I utilize culturally sensitive and evidence-based methods with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and in particular, TEAM-CBT, created by Dr. David Burns at Stanford University, which can lead to dramatic improvement in a very short period of time. This approach, which does require consistent effort and work from the patient, empowers individuals to change thinking patterns and self-defeating beliefs while acquiring lifelong skills to cope with problems more effectively and return to joyful living. I hold a Masters in Social Work from New York University (with Honors) and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Denver. I have worked in a variety of environments and I have developed strong therapeutic skills counseling adult and youth populations in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
