Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing virtual therapy for adults across New York. I work with high-functioning individuals who may appear put together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck internally. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without feeling judged. I also provide services in Spanish and value creating a culturally responsive environment for clients from diverse backgrounds.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and insight-oriented. I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also helping you explore deeper patterns that may be contributing to your current challenges. I focus on both understanding the “why” behind your thoughts and behaviors and giving you practical tools you can use in your daily life. Therapy with me is structured yet flexible, allowing space for both reflection and skill-building.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you, what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you hope to get out of the process. You can expect a relaxed, conversational space where you won’t feel pressured to share more than you’re comfortable with. We’ll also begin to identify goals and discuss how we can work together moving forward. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and more at ease about starting therapy.
