Welcome

Trust, warmth, professionalism and even a sense of humor are what you will find in one of my therapy sessions. My goal is to help you find balance and serenity in this quick paced world. Empathy, compassion and non-judgmental listening skills are what I use to help you grow. As Carl Rogers says best “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” 

My specialty is treating people with drug or alcohol addictions. I see people from the Rivertowns and surrounding areas who are wondering if they may have a problem with substance abuse and a co-occurring disorder. Addiction can affect the whole family, not only parents but also spouses and adult children. I can help with the guilt and shame which might otherwise tear loved ones apart. I have also launched the AOD (Alcohol and Other Drug) Clinic at Pace University to deal with students struggling with alcohol and drug issues. As an adjunct professor at Pace University I teach the “Psychology of Cultural Diversity” and the “Psychology of Women.” Working with diverse communities in the Rivertowns, women, couples, students are my specialties. I believe in a warm, compassionate and professional approach to counseling where client and counselor are able to work together. Assessing the strengths of each individual, and helping that person achieve their life goals despite the many obstacles in their way, or the losses they may be suffering is what I strive for as a therapist.
