Great to meet you!

We are licensed mental health providers in the state of New York. We work with clients with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. We also help many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Our counseling style is warm and interactive. We believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Our approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, rational-emotive, motivational, and solution-focused therapy.

Looking forward to working with you!

My approach to therapy

We will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, we are here to support, empower, and provide therapy in a supportive environment.

What you can expect from me

A supportive, empathetic, and collaborative environment. Our approach focuses on creating a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and challenges without judgment. We aim to empower clients to gain greater self-awareness, learn practical tools for managing stress and emotional distress, and foster personal growth and resilience. Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and equipped with strategies for positive change.
