I enjoy working with clients who may be struggling to cope with the difficulties of today's times and helping them find a meaningful path forward. The pressures of our society can often be overwhelming, and I find personal meaning in helping others find ways to alleviate these stressors to become happier and more productive.I am a licensed psychotherapist with deep experience in managing anxiety, depression, and developing coping strategies to help clients navigate stressful situations. I offer a warm and non-judgmental perspective to help guide clients towards personal fulfillment.These times are truly unique and incredibly difficult. I invite anyone who is struggling to reach out and connect with me - I would love to learn more about you and how we can work together to make you feel more comfortable and at ease.

I founded Concierge Care Management after seeing the struggle, stress and confusion families go through connecting all of the different services needed to keep their loved ones safe at home. Our Website is: https://ccmny.com. Here is a small summary of what we can help with: Acting as a caregiver can be extremely difficult on a family. We can meet with both you and your family to help develop and implement an individualized care plan to relieve some of this burden. Many people value the ability to age in place and stay safe at home. As we age, our needs change. To ensure that your loved ones' care plan adapts with them, it is important to reevaluate and revise it over time.We also encourage our patients to participate in Advance Care Planning which allows you to preemptively make decisions about your medical care in the event that you are unable to speak for yourself. It is important that you and your chosen health care agent understand your wishes.We offer Discharge Planning Assistance. Often once discharged home, patients will not have the same options available to them compared to when they are inpatient. For that reason, we carefully craft a customized discharge plan to help ensure a patient's well being, even long after they have left the hospital.We will complete a comprehensive evaluation to ensure you are maximizing your entitlements and benefits and recommend specific Medicare plans that are tailored to your specific needs.We also specialize in: Dementia Care and Memory Loss, Orthopedics, Stroke Care and Traumatic Brain Injuries.
