I am also an accomplished musician and understand well the trials and joys of the creative process.
I have been a contributor to The Huffington Post and am the author of many published books including; Difficult Questions Kids Ask (And Are Too Afraid To Ask) About Divorce, Sex and the Single Parent, and Just A Little too Thin.
I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University and an MSW from Fordham University.
I am also a practitioner of EMDR, a technique designed to alleviate long held negative beliefs associated with trauma by exploring and reprocessing critical memories.
Teletherapy
I am presently doing both in person sessions and teletherapy.
Stylistically I’m very active in my sessions so the silences many people fear are rarely if ever present.
I am offering a free 15 minutes consultation so that you can get a sense of how I work before trying a session. Call 845- 876- 8808 to set up a time.
Thank you.
