I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York with over 40 years of experience working with as a professional counselor and life coach. I have worked in a number of settings, including inpatient and outpatient psychiatric facilities, community agencies, and have provided Employee Assistance Program services for a number of corporations and government agencies. While I have experience working with a wide range of populations, I most enjoy working with individuals experiencing difficulty with life transitions, processing feelings of grief/loss, trauma, work life, parenting and family/relationship issues. I also have experience in working with substance abuse related issues, especially in areas of codependency and early stage recovery.
I generally prefer to utilize an Existential approach in my work, looking at relationships, choices and consequences, and exploring alternatives in decision making. However, I am also able to utilize alternate approaches as appropriate, based on based on client needs and preferences. My belief is that the relationship is the essence of therapy and that my role in your experience is to provide support and guidance in assisting you to develop and achieve your goals.
Thank you for allowing me to assist you with your needs. I look forward to our adventures together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
