Great to meet you!

I am licensed in New York. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, confidence & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work collaboratively with clients to identify patterns that may be contributing to distress and develop practical strategies to create meaningful change. I also believe therapy should never be one-size-fits-all, so I prioritize creating an individualized and tailored treatment plan that aligns with each client’s unique needs, goals, and life experiences. This personalized approach helps ensure that interventions feel relevant, effective, and supportive of each client’s personal growth.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect the initial session to focus on getting to know one another and building a comfortable, supportive environment. During this session, we will discuss what brings the client to therapy, review relevant background information, and explore current challenges, goals, and expectations for treatment. I will also explain my approach to therapy, answer any questions, and begin working collaboratively to identify areas we would like to focus on moving forward. The goal of the first session is to create a foundation of trust and begin developing a plan that supports the client’s individual needs and goals.
