Great to meet you!

My degrees include a B.A. in Psychology and M.A. in Forensic Mental Health Counseling. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in NY, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in NC, and a telehealth therapist in DE. I have experience working with developmental disabilities, substance abuse counseling, severe mental illness, and co-morbid diagnoses.

My approach to therapy

I take a collaborative approach to therapy. You will receive from therapy what you put into it, and I will work as hard as you do. Are you feeling stuck? Do you think something needs to change? As your treatment partner we will create an individualized treatment plan where I will use my knowledge and skills to help you achieve your goals.

What you can expect from me

Taking the first step toward change is the most difficult though I promise you do not have to go it alone. Feel free to reach out to me to learn how I may best serve you.
