Great to meet you!

I have six years of clinical mental health experience. I have experience working in a correctional facility, with hospitals, and predominantly with clients within the community. My experience ranges from providing treatment for clients with severe and persistent mental illness, trauma, anxiety, substance use, etc. I have a bachelor of arts degree in psychology, and a master of science degree in mental health counseling. I am a licensed mental health counselor, licensed in the state of New York.

My approach to therapy

I'm just a mental health guide. You're the expert on you. You've lived your entire life with all of the context of all of your experiences, relationships etc. When you step into my sessions, you're providing me with a window into that world and I provide you with my clinical interpretation of what I perceive. You're the one that's living in it. It's my job to help you navigate your own mind to get you what you want. Not to shape you into what I believe is best. I'm just the mental health guy.

What you can expect from me

My goal is to assist you in pointing your trajectory for quality of life as high as possible. I understand, firsthand, how difficult it can be to maneuver the pitfalls of life, particularly when you haven't been equipped with the psychological/social resources and tools needed. I can assist in providing you with such tools and resources. If you'll allow me, I hope to become a helpful part of your process.
