Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counsellor that specialises in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and ethnic issues. I received my Graduate degree from the College of Staten Island and attended internship at The Counseling Center of CSI. I have been working in the private practice setting for over 3 years and enjoy working with young adults, middle adults and the geriatric population.

My approach to therapy

I am a warm and empathic counselor that is client-centred focused. I provide a non-judgemental space for my clients to dig deep, understand parts of themselves, and make changes that will help their current functioning. I utilise an integrative approach composed of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, and humanistic.

What you can expect from me

Therapy can be daunting to begin and at times hard to be in with everything that is spoken about. I am here to help support your therapeutic growth and achieve the changes you would like to make towards living a more fulfilling life.
