About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in New York with 3 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and counselor. I received my BA from CUNY Queens College and received the William Schoenfeld award for excellence in Psychology. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, eating disorders and low self esteem. I have assisted clients who were working through adjustments in their lives related to schooling, careers, relationships and other transitions.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivation interviewing, client-centered, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor my counseling style to best meet the needs of my clients and will work on building a strong therapeutic alliance.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
