Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Putnam County, New York with more than 20 years in the field. I am the mom of two young adult sons with special needs and specialize in working with people and families with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities including Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have a deep understanding of how difficult it can be to raise a child with special needs, and with issues related to advocating for a special needs child with a school district or with other government entities. I am very holistic, and enjoy looking at alternatives to medication whenever possible. In addition to my specialty in ASD, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance abuse issues, and family issues. I have worked in Community Mental Health Centers, with incarcerated women, in a hospital detox unit, and in private practice.
My counseling style is warm , supportive, positive and compassionate. I will help you to identify your strengths and find solutions to your problems. My approach is Client-Centered and Humanistic and employs Cognitive-Behavioral techniques. I really enjoy what I do!
I am so glad that you are considering seeking therapy through BetterHelp and am so grateful that Teletherapy has become so widely available now, as it makes therapy so much more accessible for everyone. I look forward to meeting you and starting our journey together!

Many people ask whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions, online therapy has been found to be comparably effective to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is convenience – therapy can be accessed in the format that best fits an individual’s life, whether by video, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to attend sessions regularly and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
All therapists are licensed professionals, and if the fit is not right a client may choose to switch providers at any time. For many people, the combination of proven effectiveness and flexible access makes online therapy a practical and valuable option.
