Through individual therapy sessions, I aim to help individuals if they feel stuck in life. Or if they are struggling with a certain element in their life such as work or relationships.

Together, we will identify patterns and behaviors that are causing this struggle, and take action to change things. Our work will help you to take better care of yourself, and cope with the challenges in your life.

Are you experiencing issues with your partner or going through a potential separation or divorce? I can help you and your partner develop a more harmonious relationship by providing couples therapy in Westchester that will help you work together more effectively.

My marriage counseling can help you and your partner understand one another better while solving the problems you are both facing. My process begins with talking to you individually for several months, followed by couples sessions.

My group therapy sessions are a safe place that includes a small number of people meeting weekly to discuss the challenges they are facing in life. Whether it be feelings of anxiety, depression, or struggles with relationships, I will help to guide you through to overcome these struggles in your life.

Giving and receiving peer feedback is an important part of self-awareness gained in the group setting.

Are you currently seeing clients in the office?2021-06-14T14:52:29+00:00

Yes, I am back in the office and seeing clients provided they have been vaccinated for Covid-19.  Proof of vaccination is required.

What should I expect in my first individual session?2021-08-12T01:02:59+00:00

This first session is an in-depth consultation, where I go into more detail about what led you to therapy as wells as exploring your background and history. We also will talk about your goals for our work together, and you can ask me any questions you may have about the therapy process or what it’s like working with me.

Prior to your first session, I will send you some documents that you will fill out with some general information. Any paperwork that you were required to fill out will also be reviewed and discussed during the initial session.

Is therapy confidential?2021-06-26T03:12:33+00:00

Yes. Confidentiality between a client and a therapist is one of the most important aspects of therapy.  The law protects the confidentiality of all communications between a client and a mental health provider.  However, there are some exceptions required by law to this rule.  Exceptions include:

  • Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse. The therapist is required to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.
  • If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person.  The therapist is required to notify the police and the person being threatened.
  • If a client intends to harm himself or herself the therapist will make every effort to work with the individual to ensure their safety. However, if an individual does not cooperate, additional measures may need to be taken.
What are the most common problems of couples?2021-06-21T14:45:33+00:00

Problems with couples span a wide variety of issues.  Infidelity is a common one, but I am seeing more couples over the past few years come in where the relationship is simply not aligned or as well connected as in years past, where couples may be growing apart. COVID has certainly led to couples reevaluating their relationship, and since we are now out and about again, this is certainly the time to address the issues that have come to the forefront.

Other common problems: frequent arguments, communication problems, sexual problems, jealousy, lack of respect, spending too much time working, etc.
