What makes you different than other therapists?

What a lot of one-on-one therapy is missing is a focus on all areas of health. Your mental and emotional state is greatly influenced by what else is going on in your body physically. When we work together, we bring to light all parts of your health that need attention.

So, are you a nutritionist and personal trainer too?

I wish! No, although our work together gives attention to nutrition and exercise, I do not (and cannot) provide nutrition and exercise plans to my clients. What I can do is help you navigate the physical side of your health in a way that broadens your ability to harness your health and take charge of your life. I will (and I do) provide referrals if and when it is necessary for clients to seek alternative/additional help.

What’s your ideal client/what’s your specialty?

I’m not naive to knowing that the decision to go to therapy is a challenging one. When you come to see me, it tells me you’re ready to not only tell your story but you’re ready to make edits and rewrite a new one. It excites me to work with individuals and couples who know something needs to change, they’re just not sure what that is yet.

What states can you see clients in?

I’m licensed in both NY and CT, so I can see clients who live in either state.

What is the difference between seeing a marriage and family therapist versus other psychotherapists?

I like to think of it as we’re all doing the same thing just in a different way. We’re all helpers with different frameworks and different ideas. Marriage and family therapists happen to be schooled in the idea of “systems”, which basically means that we’re all navigating life in connection with others and the current relationships we have with our families can be very impactful to our mental and emotional states.
