My Quote
Life is short and you want to live everyday to the fullest. Many people focus on their shortcomings and this contributes to their feelings of anxiety and depression. Learn to focus on your positive attributes and treat yourself the same way you would treat a beloved friend or family member.

Personal Note

I attended Adelphi University for both my undergraduate and graduate studies. I earnd both a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Master's Degree in Social Work from Adelphi. Since graduation, I have worked as a clinical psychotherapist providing individual therapy to seniors, adults, adolescents, and children. I specialize in treating clients, who suffer from anxiety, depression, panic disorders and phobia.

Philosophy

I have developed an eclectic therapeutic treatment approach. However, my individual approach gravitates towards cognitive behavior theory. My work with clients focuses on their realization that their various disorders stem from their erroneous beliefs about themselves. I work with them on disputing their irrational thinking and assist them in developing new adaptive, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Many of my clients have benefitted from this approach and are now leading happier and more productive lives.
