Welcome! I am a licensed school and community psychologist working in the Queens area for over 15 years. I am a professor of child and adolescent psychology at Queens College. Parenting is a tough job! As parents we need to get help, especially if we notice behaviors of concern in our kids.  

I believe that we all have the capacity to heal. I take a trauma-informed, body-based, and spiritually grounded approach to working with clients. I have experience working with clients (primarily women) from a variety of backgrounds, including those experiencing anxiety and co-occurring health issues impacting mental health. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, and other holistic modalities into my sessions and will provide you with resources to utilize in your everyday life.

When this happens, everything else suffers, from your personal to your professional life, including how you feel. You may find it challenging to find the right therapist who can help you heal. Just know that you are not alone.

I have more than 25 years experience helping people solve psychological problems and go on to live satisfying lives as fully developed individuals. Therapy is a rewarding process in which therapist and client collaborate to find solutions and undreamed of possibilities.  

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s going on without feeling like you have to have everything figured out first. I believe therapy should be practical, collaborative, and connected to your real life—not just a place to talk about problems. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your own thoughts, struggling with confidence, or navigating a major transition, we’ll work together to understand what’s getting in the way and find ways forward. I’ll meet you where you are while also challenging you when it can help you grow. You don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out. If something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to, therapy can be a place to start making a change.

I have been working with people for over 25 years and love to see people take flight and fly again in their lives. I never judge you or what you have done or who you tell me you are. Rather, I help you discern what you WANT to be and what you want to do and work to help you be and do that. My job is to help you become the very best you you can be. I encourage, support, comfort, challenge, and do all of these with humor and warmth. I simply don't think there is any other way for me to work.  

For over two decades, I have been a student and a steward of the human story. My journey into the healing arts began at the intersection of the soul and the system—first through a Master of Divinity, then a Master of Arts in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling, and ultimately a PhD in Child and Family Studies. These chapters of my education taught me a singular truth: we do not live in isolation. We are deeply rooted in our attachments, our spiritualities, and the complex social constructs of power and equity that shape our everyday lives. As a therapist, supervisor, and professor, I lead with courageous dialogue and radical curiosity. Whether I am working with a couple navigating the fallout of infidelity, an individual deconstructing a lifetime of spiritual trauma, or a queer youth seeking an affirming mirror, my goal is to create a space that is as respectful as it is transformative. I am deeply committed to evidence-based, depth-oriented work. By integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients move beyond surface-level symptoms to address the relational and neurological roots of their distress. One of the greatest honors of my life is serving as a "healer for the healers." I believe that therapists and pastors deserve the same sanctuary they provide for others—a place where they can lay down the mantle of leadership and find their own path to restoration. When I am not in the therapy room or the classroom, I am often finding my own balance: lifting weights, enjoying live music with my wife, or finding a moment of quiet with a book and my Goldendoodle, Comet. "The healing space that is generated between therapist and client... it is one of the greatest honors of my life. It never ceases to amaze me."

It takes courage to reach out when life feels unmanageable or overwhelming, yet taking even the smallest step will change any situation and choosing to call today will likely set off a chain of events that will move you toward something better.  

From the outside, life may look successful, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, burned out, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt. Through a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach (CBT, DBT, and EMDR), I help clients break free from patterns of stress and perfectionism so they can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their lives.
