MY POINT OF VIEW

Experience and Reach

After 24 years of living and practicing in New York City, I now reside in Connecticut, serving clients in New York, Connecticut, Florida, and PSYPACT-participating states. I believe I was among the first to apply Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to highly sensitive, intelligent professionals, expanding my reach to 43 states.

Client Focus

My clients are high achievers who seek to enhance their ability to live, love, and work, but often feel stuck despite their success. Past treatment methods may not have worked, and many have survived significant trauma. My aim is to help them regain autonomy, competence, and relatedness, empowering them to make impactful contributions to their communities.

The DBT Approach

I find fulfillment in using DBT to cultivate hope, resilience, and self-efficacy in my clients. By enhancing their decision-making skills and personal growth, I strive to help them become more reflective, autonomous, and interdependent.

Empowerment and Transformation

My goal is to eventually “edit myself out” of the process so my clients can thrive independently, living with resilience, joy, and peace. This work is deeply rewarding—it’s my calling.

If you’re ready to increase your resilience, self-worth, and effectiveness, let’s start with a complimentary 20-minute consultation to see how I can help.
