Great to meet you!

As life brings us new challenges it’s important to recognize that it may also bring anxiety, stress, depression, feelings of loss of control or other difficult reactions. As a Native New Yorker I realize the importance of emotional support. If you are experiencing low motivation, frequent irritability, prolonged sadness or difficulty with making important decisions affecting your ability to practice and enjoy self-care and have peace of mind, it’s time for help.

I am here to offer support.

My approach to therapy

My sessions with you are focused on your concerns to move forward and engage in a positive outlook, while you build on ways to work through life’s challenges.

Each day we have the opportunity to learn and grow from our experiences. Therapy can assist with building insight, problem solving, communication of feelings, and recognition of emotional needs. I am here to listen, encourage, affirm and coach you to gain enhanced life balance and greater peace of mind.

What you can expect from me

I value your thoughts, feelings and perspectives and listen to provide insightful therapy supports. My practice involves evidence based strategies to relieve stress, anxiety, feelings of loss of control and gain confidence, encouragement, and self care tools. You will gain the knowledge of ways to assist yourself during those times of greatest need.
