Adults, Children, Families, and Adolescents
My practice is devoted to Adults, Children, Families, and Adolescents. I strive to create a calm and relaxed office environment that facilitates easy and comfortable conversations. I provide individual, family, teen, and couples counseling sessions either in person in my office in Scarsdale, NY, by phone or through virtual sessions to meet the different needs and time constraints of my patients. My goal is to work together with you to develop a customized plan of action for the personal and important issues that you are facing to ensure we address your unique needs and use our time together to help you manage and reach your goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
I use a combination of therapeutic methods, but I specialize in the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my patients recognize the connections between their thoughts, their emotions, and their actions.
I would be honored to work with you and/or your child. Taking the first step is often the hardest, but I invite you to call or email me so that we can take that first step together. I believe that everyone faces difficulties and challenges in life, no one is exempt. As part of our time together we will work together to evaluate how certain patterns of thinking may be related to your symptoms.

Significant Expertise In
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Personalized Therapeutic Approach
My personal goals are to create a supportive environment to help my patients develop a greater understanding of themselves, and create more positive patterns, to help them achieve personal growth, and to accomplish their therapeutic goals. My theoretical orientation has a large focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I integrate other techniques into your treatment as appropriate. Whether we are focused on changing negative thought patterns via Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, exploring mindfulness to decrease anxiety, or working on couples and partner communication patterns I tailor my therapy to meet each patients’ specific needs.
My first objective with every patient is to work collaboratively with them o develop a personalized treatment plan to help them manage the difficulties in their lives that brought them to therapy, and enable them to develop a greater understanding of themselves and their personal and professional relationships, to help every patient create more positive patterns in how they relate to others, to enable them to experience personal growth, and achieve their therapeutic goals in a meaningful way.
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a focus on the present: What are you thinking about right now? What were you thinking when you started to feel anxious before your exam? What do you do when you start to feel angry? The goal is understanding what happens in your brain and your body when emotions start to overwhelm you. Unlike other approaches the source is not in your past but what happens in the present, in your brain.
While we may discuss your childhood and past to better understand the environment you grew up in — such as, whether there may be a family history of mental health problems — the focus of our CBT sessions is on understanding what is happening inside you when emotional problems arise today to help you figure out how to avoid them tomorrow. CBT treatment is about increasing your own awareness of how you think, what you do when you are stressed, anxious, depressed, in pain. What topics does your brain focus on? Can you tell that you are going down some rabbit-hole of worry? How do you talk to yourself when you’re feeling depressed and feel that you can’t get out of bed? What do you do when your partner says something that hurts your feelings? These are just some of the areas we would focus on.
