I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University (LIU) Post and am a licensed mental health professional in New York State. I work with adolescents and adults, offering compassionate, evidence based care tailored to your unique needs. I also specialize in supporting parents of children with mental health or behavioral challenges so families can communicate more effectively and face hard moments with greater confidence.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and strengths based, with a focus on creating a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and empowered. I am informed in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT). I integrate these tools to help you build practical skills, increase resilience, and work toward meaningful, lasting change that fits your life.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make your first session as comfortable and welcoming as possible. We will explore what brought you to therapy, what you are struggling with right now, and what you hope to gain from treatment. There is no pressure to share everything at once; we will move at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we will clarify your goals and begin planning how we can work side by side to reach them.
