Great to meet you!

"With over 20 years of experience as both a licensed LMFT and LMHC in New York, I offer a unique, dual-lens perspective on mental health and systemic family dynamics. I believe that true healing happens when clinical competence meets genuine human warmth. Throughout my two decades of practice, I have remained dedicated to providing evidence-based, compassionate care that helps clients thrive in their personal lives and their relationships. I am here to help you navigate your journey with the professional insight and personal support you need to move forward."

My approach to therapy

My person-centered approach aims to empower clients by concentrating on their strengths, existing resources, and goals, rather than dwelling on problems. Building practical steps, emphasizing small achievable changes, will provide motivational enhancement to achieve a preferred future with desired positive outcomes.

What you can expect from me

The client's expectation should focus on their desire to acquire insight and knowledge of professional resources and tools, promoting team collaboration to identify and build workable/ actionable solutions, driven towards the resolution of concerns and or issues throughout the therapeutic process.
