About

I am licensed in New York with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbt-related issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. My approach I believe that you are in control of your story and that you have many strengths that will help you in overcoming your challenges. We can work together through a cognitive behavioral therapy with an eclectic approach. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! My focus My areas of focus involve women's issues, LGBTQ+, stress, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I also take into account environmental factors like community, culture, or poverty. My communication style I like to set a calm and supportive environment for client's to feel safe to talk about difficult issues. Working with me would involve unconditional positive regard for your goals and strength based discussions on how to achieve them. My journey to therapy I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I am fascinated by psychology and how the mind works. I am also highly motivated by helping others. Therapy has become a great combination of both of my passions. My goals for you Client's are in complete control of their goals and their pace. My job is to provide support and insight on how to achieve these goals. My first session with you Client's should expect a brief background and warm introduction. I provide all client's with the opportunity to ask questions as well as guide the conversation.
