About

I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in New York with experience providing mental health services as well as wellness self-management. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at CUNY York College in 2006, my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University Brooklyn Campus in 2010, and my Doctorate in Psychology specializing in Grief Counseling at the American International Theism University in 2023. I have experience working with clients who have a diagnosis of Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia just to name a few. I have been able to connect and provide support to anyone who struggles with low self-esteem, low self-worth, engages in negative self-talk, and those who struggle to speak up for themselves. I have been able to educate clients on harm reduction techniques to those who want to refrain from engaging in unsafe risky behavior. I promote and educate clients on proper sleep hygiene and the importance of having a good balance between work and personal life.

I believe in helping others at their own pace and providing assistance and guidance to the answers that they seek. My approach is to have unconditional positive regard, as well as being empathetic and patient. My goal is to help you feel comfortable with expressing yourself while we work through your concerns step by step so that you can build up the confidence to achieve your goals.

If you are ready to make some positive changes in your life and ready to feel better about yourself, please join me in taking the next steps towards a path of self-fulfillment with undivided support and compassion.
