Great to meet you!

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. I completed my graduate studies at Long Island University, earning a M.A. in Clinical Psychology and at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, earning a M.A. in Forensic Mental Health Counseling. I completed my undergraduate education at Hamilton College, where I earned a B.A. in Neuroscience.

My approach to therapy

Using cognitive behavioral therapy and humanistic psychology; I provide meaningful, holistic and culturally competent care through an exploration toward personal growth and defining historical causes of psychological problems. I don’t focus on your specific symptoms (such as anxiety) but rather utilize a holistic approach to cultivating wellness in the entire personality. Our journey together strives to have you dig deeper into the sometimes darker elements of your mind to find your true self.

What you can expect from me

I seek to create a collaborative and empathic environment. As part of this journey, I will guide you to a personal sense of inner wisdom and healing. I do not direct, but rather empower you as the expert of your own life to find the answers within to solve life’s obstacles and challenges. I also see EAP clients.
