Find a CRM® Therapist

I am a Clinician and practitioner of Comprehensive Resource Model. My areas of expertise are physical and sexual abuse, self esteem building, stress responses from the past, grief, loss, recovery and performance anxiety.

I am a Graduate of Adelphi University, licensed and certified in the state of New York, I have practiced in varied work environments and have a wealth of knowledge from working in mental health/substance abuse clinics, hospitals, prisons, employment and training facilities as well as corporate America.

My treatment modality is comprised of Comprehensive Resourcing as well as Internal Family Systems. I firmly believe in Attuned listening and empowerment of the client.

 I use this eclectic methodology in my practice to heal life long blocks from the past to reprocess disturbing negative thoughts and experiences. At the end of treatment the client will be able to integrate their past experiences and  feel an awakening of their creativity and spirituality resulting in hope and a better outlook .

When emotions stir within, causing anxiety, depression, or distress in relationships, life can feel overwhelming. I view these shifts as gifts, like an indicator light your higher Self is yearning for a personal growth spurt. These feelings can be an opportunity to free yourself from the experiences that hold you back from living your best life. My ideal client is ready to explore their internal world to make the changes needed to create a positive transformation. I am a body-based trauma-informed therapist with a master’s degree in dance/movement therapy. I use the creative process and visualization as a tool for exploration.

The imagination can bypass the parts of the brain that keep us stuck in unwanted behaviors and can more easily access the parts that hold the answers. By engaging the mind and body with resources that calm the central nervous system, we have greater access to the pain-filled memories impeding us from reaching our full potential and allow insight to surface.

After 20 years of working as a therapist, I took a deep dive into my own therapeutic process and wrote a book about the experience – a memoir to be published soon. My goal is to be your guide, a doula of sorts, to help birth the person you have always wanted to become.

I am a writer and Licensed Creative Arts Therapist in private practice in Hudson Valley, New York. I began my career working in psychiatric inpatient and day treatment programs in the South Bronx NY, serving children, adolescents and adults. In 2004 I developed Damselfly Center for Autism Spectrum disorders where I created the social skills program, Amazing Kids Amazing Families, integrating the creative arts therapies. I became certified in RDI (Relationship Development Intervention), a parent coaching program for families with autism.

In 2016 I shifted my focus to working primarily with adult women and survivors of childhood abuse.
