Great to meet you!

I am a mental health counselor who is licensed in both New York and New Jersey. I believe therapy should be a save place, free of judgement, where one can discuss their problems and find real solutions to life's problems.

My approach to therapy

I utilize an approach that mainly focuses on how one's thoughts are influencing one's behaviors. You'll learn skills to help with current issues and issues in the future. I have an easy-going, personal style to help you feel comfortable.

What you can expect from me

The first session is where we get to know one another. I will be asking a lot of questions because I want to know your life story. We will explore what has brought you to therapy and how you envision your life when you are ready to move on from therapy.
