Great to meet you!

Hey! You can call me Ash.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, and a graduate of Pace University. I truly believe the bulk of a successful healing journey comes from having a great relationship with your counselor, and I always keep that focus in the forefront of each and every session. Connecting the mind and body is key to ultimate wellness, and I will be the light to guide you through that!

A bit about my approach to therapy

Whether you are struggling with mental health difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, or you are reaching out for mental health maintenance, I will be here for you! One of my favorite aspects of therapy is that I get to follow YOUR lead. I think its beautiful to acknowledge where you stand in your healing journey, and if you don't know yet- I will support you along the way!

What you can expect from our first session

Talk therapy can get quite redundant and dull over the course of treatment. My goal is to bring excitement and light-hearted aspects to therapy to keep it interesting, all while working on the difficult experiences and emotions that brings you into the session.
