I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Rockland County, NY. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bellevue University, and I've spent the years since building a practice focused on couples, individuals, and families.
My clinical background spans a broad range of mental health settings, from private practice to extensive work within community mental health. I have served as a supervisor for direct support staff within a large community mental health clinic, and have delivered professional trainings on topics related to marriage, ADHD, and parenting.
The primary focus of my practice is working with couples and relationships, helping partners navigate intense conflict or heal from painful emotional distance. Alongside my relationship work, I specialize in ADHD across the lifespan, including individual support for adults and teens with ADHD, targeted coaching for parents raising children with ADHD, and support for neurodivergent parents navigating the unique challenges of family life.
My work is grounded in a simple belief: the presenting problem is rarely the whole story. What we find, when we slow down enough to look, is usually something more fundamental: unmet needs, old patterns, a longing to feel seen and connected that isn't getting met.
I draw primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment science, and weave in psychodynamic thinking, mindfulness-based approaches, and other evidence-based methods when helpful and appropriate. I don't work from a rigid framework. I follow the person, and tailor interventions based on the unique needs and circumstances of each individual client.
Whether you're in the middle of a crisis or have just slowly drifted apart, couples therapy is a place to actually talk, with someone who can help you both feel heard. My main approach is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which works by getting underneath the conflict to what's actually driving it. Less about communication tips, more about understanding why you keep getting stuck and what to do differently.
ADHD looks different in every person. I work with kids, teens, and adults to figure out what's actually going on, build strategies that fit how their brain works, and address the emotional side that often gets overlooked, including self-esteem, overwhelm, and the impact on relationships.

I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, self-doubt, low self-esteem, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away on its own. I also work with people who keep running into the same walls in their closest relationships and want to understand why. Whatever brings you in, you don't need to have it figured out before reaching out.
I work with teenagers and adults navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. I also offer parenting support for parents of children with ADHD or anxiety, working with parents directly rather than seeing the child. The approach is tailored to each person and where they are in their life.
Some couples don't have the luxury of weekly sessions, or they've been waiting too long and need to do something significant now. A 2 or 3 day intensive gives us the time to actually get somewhere, rather than spending months scratching the surface.
