Welcome!

Mental well-being is a top priority because it is the key that opens the door to a happy, healthy, and stable life. Life can be full of unpredictable circumstances and events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, anxious, or depressed. Experiencing one, or all, of these starts to negatively impact critical areas such as sleep, work, self-motivation, personal relationships, or lead us to start engage in unhealthy outlets. It also makes us feel all alone and emotionally trapped. Reaching out for help can initially feel uneasy and it is a difficult task, but be proud of yourself that you are taking that first step! I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with clients aged 13 to 75 with a main focus on working for you, your needs, and how to achieve your goals to live a happy, healthy, and stable life. Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, Acute and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, relationships, couples/marital counseling, sexual issues, employees of law enforcement agencies, and forensic based testing.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience treating individual clients and their families who are suffering from a range of mental health issues. I have extensive experience working with traumatic experience, depression, anxiety and episodic and chronic mental health issues. I work with clients dealing with divorce, parenting issues, betrayal, grief, life stress, burnout and life transitions that can cause disruption in functioning or well being.

Hello! I offer Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy sessions in person and online. I will provide support with mood disorders, relationships, and parenting. You will have a safe and healthy space to explore your inner world and strengthen your support system and wellbeing.

I am the Founder of EQ Therapy (eqtherapy.co), a private practice designed for high-performing clients. I also teach at NYU in their graduate mental health counseling program. My dissertation at Johns Hopkins focused on the mental health experience of intercollegiate student-athletes. I supervise therapists at EQ Therapy who are accepting new clients for individual and couples therapy.
