Biography: Therapy can often be a daunting and scary process for individuals. "What if my therapist doesn't understand me? Does this mean I have a problem? What if it doesn't help?" I aim to provide a nurturing, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and supportive environment to support you with all the difficulties life may throw in your path. I like to use a multi-faceted approach tailored to the unique needs of YOU and to best help you with whatever you are struggling with. I believe that change happens when one is given the guidance to draw on your own strengths and realize your potential to live a fulfilling, happy life. I integrate various models of therapy throughout my work including (but not limited to): person-centered, a "here-and-now" approach focusing on present feelings, developmental, strengths-based, and mindfulness techniques. I have been a practicing psychotherapist in New York City for over 10 years and have recently moved to Hawaii. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both Hawaii and New York, with a Masters Degree in Social Work from Columbia University and a dual Bachelors Degree in Psychology and Social Work from New York University.

Typically I draw from counseling styles rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Family Therapy. However, Therapy is not a "one size fits all" practice, in fact it is just the opposite and this is why most often I will utilize Eclectic Therapy. I will adjust my counseling methods based on your issues in each session and I will also adjust them as you begin to change and grow. A skilled Therapist needs to be fluid in their approach because change is not stagnant. I am already proud of you for taking the first step in your journey to peace and happiness.

Biography: Fundamentally I believe that everyone is doing the best that they can, with the caveat we can all work towards a better self. This assumption drives me to pair compassionate nonjudgmental empathy with hope and meaningful wellness targets to assist with getting you to where you want to be. I focus on exploring internal and external motivators of intense emotion and ineffective behaviors while integrating a self-acceptance and better understanding of how our biological motivators/drives interact with life's constant barrage of stress and develop conditioned response patterns. Each individual entering the process of developing insight and confident self-management brings with them unique strengths and challenges based on life experiences and genetic/biological vulnerabilities. When selecting specific treatment strategies, I look to harness innate strengths, assess for opportunities to educate, encourage, and reinforce the change process. I tailor my approach to highlight and utilize personal expertise with your life to target specific barriers to wellness self-management pairing with practical strategies to establish self-control and direction. Recognizing personal challenges and choosing to explore them is the first significant step towards self-awareness and confident stability. I am confident in our ability to successfully develop a strategy unique to you that effectively encourages and self-reinforces you to towards a confident wellness with improved competency and stability. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you see opportunities for your own self-improvement with me.

Biography: My professional view of counseling is that it is a journey of self exploration by the client, using therapy as a guide to self understanding & self awareness. I, as a marriage and family therapist, use the skills that I have learned and developed throughout my education and clinical experience to facilitate growth in my clients. I am not an expert in any of my clients' lives, but I strive to learn who they are from them and allow them to make decisions for themselves. I allow the client to guide the session so we can talk about the deep rooted problems when they are ready & tackle the daily struggles that cause anxiety & depression. I use talk therapy as a means of bringing dialogue and relationships to the forefront of the session. Reviewing presenting problems, past therapy experiences, and their goals will determine which theory or framework to use moving forward. In my experience, DBT, CBT, ACT, SFT and Motivational Interviewing have proven to be successful among my clients. I remain empathetic, supportive, and validating through each session and applaud clients as they grow and learn. Whether the goals are big or small, we will tackle each one and the obstacles that may arise. My philosophy is to teach each client that they are worthy of unconditional acceptance regardless of anything that would lead them to think otherwise.
