About

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in New York with over 15 years of experience working in the human services field, 5 years of which as a clinician. Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of people who have had a variety of struggles: anxiety, depression, motivation, life goals, career fulfillment, relationship issues, parenting concerns, amongst others. I have had experience with forensic populations, special needs, personality challenges, disenfranchised and vulnerable populations, as well as those who feel “stuck in a rut” or have realized their life isn’t what they’ve envisioned. During my time in the field, I have worked with teens and adults, couples, and LGBTQ+ individuals, using my experience and skillset to address the specific needs of individual or couple being seen.

My therapy style is warm, respectful, and non judgmental. Choosing to make changes in life is scary and difficult. I want you to know that making that choice is often the most difficult part and this is now an exciting opportunity to grow and cultivate the best you that you can be. I strive to make a safe space where you can feel free to discuss what’s on your mind in the terms and language you choose.

The goal is to establish a plan that is most effective for you, and so my therapeutic approach is integrative and varied, tailoring to what works best for your concerns. I employ research based practices in our sessions that draw from CBT, DBT, REBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused therapy to help equip you with the tools to build and develop in the areas you see necessary. Everyone can learn and grow, and develop a better quality of life. You are driving the car, it is my intention to hold the map and help you navigate to your destination.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me and consider our collaboration on your journey. If you’re looking for a compassionate and motivated counselor to help you build skills and break down barriers, you’ve found one, so please reach out!

I look forward to meeting with you.
