About

I am NY state licensed Clinical Psychologist who meets with clients virtually, thus I am able to work with college-age and adult clients from anywhere within New York state. After teaching, supervising and mentoring students for 20 years as a Psychology Professor, I am starting full-time psychotherapy services for 2025. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative effort wherein clients and their therapist work together to overcome life's many challenges. Many clients report positive mood change, enhanced coping abilities, improved physical health, self-acceptance, mindfulness and satisfaction in their relationships. I approach therapy from a variety of theoretical perspectives. I think that psychotherapy is most effective when clients and their therapist work together to find the approach that works best for the client. I believe every client is capable of transcending the things that have happened to them, redefining who they are, and actualizing their potential.
