About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor here in New York. Over the years, I pride myself on supporting my clients in a person-centered fashion, providing clients with an empathic, ethical, trusting, and judgment-free counseling experience. I believe that the beauty of counseling lies in helping others feel comfortable enough to be themselves, safe enough to be vulnerable, and empowered enough to take action steps needed to make the change they want to see in their lives become a reality. I hold this belief so close to my heart that I have even ventured out and started my own private practice Wellness Ur Way LLC, which has allowed me to continue to work closely with clients through the difficulties of the pandemic with plans to reach as many people as possible well into the future.
