Great to meet you!

I am a LMHC in NYC, and I earned my M.A. from George Washington University.

I have a passion for diversity and inclusiveness for all the many people who exist within this world. I strive to provide non-judgmental, affirming, and empathic therapy to all people, no matter how you may identify. It is my goal to help identify the many positive strengths and qualities that already exist within you, which are waiting to be discovered and transformed into the present life.

My approach to therapy

I work dynamically and collaboratively to explore your inner thoughts and feelings to bring positive changes and meaning to your present life. In addition, I utilize specific ways to discover your inner resources/skills to cope with daily stressors, relationship problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other concerns.

What you can expect from me

As a therapist, it is my goal to help detect the many positive strengths and qualities that already exist within you, that are waiting to be discovered and transformed into the present life.
