About

I provide a warm, safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to feel at ease talking about their distress. As a result, they gain more insights into their thoughts, feelings and behaviors allowing them to see their situation from a different perspective and make necessary changes. While I do not interfere with the process of self-discovery, I believe in challenging problematic thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that contribute to distress and help find healthier, more productive ones.

My aim is to help individuals develop and achieve goals that lead to empowerment and a life of fulfillment. Though my approach to therapy gives me the option of treating a myriad of challenging issues, I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, and life transitions. Please allow me to share in your journey to a better you.

I am licensed in New York with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
