What should a new client know about working with you?

I am a NY State licensed Psychologist since 2001. I have been on faculty at Pace University for 25 years enjoying preparing the next generation of counseling students to develop the skills to establish their professional identities and become independent practitioners. When not teaching, my 19-year clinical experience has been working with the adult and older adult population, helping to transition them through life events and challenges, increasing self awareness and improving relationships. I have been pleased to work with individuals who are diverse in physical ability, race, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion, sexual orientation, and life circumstances. I feel confident that my strong skills, both as a psychologist and educator, allow me to be prepared to better understand others and help them get to a healthier place in their lives.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

It is very important to me to understand why you are beginning/continuing the therapy process at this point in your life. Why today? What have you been doing so far that has worked for you? Why is it no longer working? It is our job to work together to understand how your life has changed, through you, your relationships, the environment you live in or maybe even something else. I have utilized and taught a variety of different therapeutic skills; empathy, good listening, person centered therapy/care, CBT, DBT, and behavioral techniques to support clients who are facing a countless number of challenges. But most of all, we need to remember that there is no magic wand or pill that is given in therapy that makes us feel better; it is the relationship and hard work between the therapist and client that fosters change.
