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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
