"NYC's first and only outdoor counseling practice. As seen on Good Morning America and in the Wall Street Journal."

Is your life not what you imagined?

Are you not the person you hoped to be?

Does the morning scare you?

Are you struggling in your relationships or career?

Have you lost the balance of life?

Many of my clients come to me struggling with depression, anxiety, the stress of city living and of course… family issues. I've developed a completely unique counseling practice that addresses the challenges of life - while walking.  The act of opening one’s self up while walking through local parks and along quiet side streets, somehow creates an environment of possibility and change.

I’ve seen this process work amazing results with my clients. Yes, it is unique. As are the amazing clients with whom I have the privilege to work. I am very proud of this caring and dynamic therapeutic processand encourage you to give it a try.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have over 15 years experience as a practicing therapist.

I believe that a person is a culmination of their past experiences and I’d like to share a few of mine. I have had the privilege to work in several different settings that I believe provides me with a unique ability to relate to my clients.

My years on Wall Street have provided me a great insight into the unique pressures of the corporate world. I’ve watched and participated in the triumphs and tragedies, the wins and losses of this unbelievably competitive world.

And as a small business owner and entrepreneur, I am also aware of the daily war that is fought to keep afloat. I know the fears and anxieties of risking everything on an idea and a dream, and the passion that fuels the long hours of “doing everything”. And I know the pain of failure is better than living with the knowledge that you never tried.

Several of my clients and family are in the entertainment industry (film, music, theater), and I too have personal experience with the frustrations, joys, and injustices of this industry.

And living and working in New York City has made me acutely aware of the stresses of city life…the odd sensation of feeling alone while being surrounded by millions of people. But I was born and raised on farm land in Kentucky and am quite familiar with the difficulties of rural small town life.

And family? Well, we all have some nuts in our trees.
