Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, in practice since 2008, I have served many communities across Suffolk county with a warm and empathetic approach.

I primarily work with people struggling with anxiety and depressive symptoms, and those who need help navigating through challenging interpersonal relationships. I have a great deal of experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and ensuring a safe and affirming space.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is rooted in CBT, however, no form of therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. With that in mind, I work with each client to find the interventions that are most effective for them on an individual level, to try and help them get the most out of the process.

What you can expect from me

My aim during therapy is to create a safe and secure environment in order to help clients set goals for themselves and then achieve them. Life isn't always fair, and it isn't always easy; but it can be better. Therapy can be an important factor in reaching that potential.
