About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor living in New York and have been in practice since 2010. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Legal Studies from St. John's University and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Michigan State University. I also graduated with distinction with my Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Hofstra University. Before devoting my time to private practice, I have worked in several local Mental Health clinics helping adults with a range of mental health issues. To continue my education, I have participated in Mental Health conferences and seminars. I was a presenter at the American Mental Health Counselors Association Conference discussing body image and adolescents. In addition, I am also is affiliated with the American Mental Health Counselors Association.


Currently, I work with a variety of adolescents and adults who struggle with issues such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, body image, and eating disorders. In providing treatment, I conduct individual, family, group and marriage therapy. I take an eclectic approach to therapy in that I apply techniques that would best help the client and their particular situation. Depending on the client's need I will use techniques such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, DBT skills, and take a holistic approach to helping others deal with troubles in their lives. The therapeutic relationship is a mutually agreed upon contract between a client and a therapist so sometimes a decision is made at the first session (or after) not to proceed with therapy. It is important for me to assess whether my skills are an appropriate fit for you and for what you are looking for. It is equally important that you to feel comfortable working with me and feel in charge of making the decision to proceed with therapy. I work with both adolescents and adults and try to provide a non-judgmental environment where you feel you can openly discuss the issues that interfering with you being your best self.
