I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. I obtained my masters in mental health counseling from the University at Albany. I specialize in supporting adults, couples, and families navigating relationship stress, identity concerns, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout and communication difficulties.
I am a warm, compassionate, open-minded, direct, humorous, analytical and culturally competent counselor.I bring a cultural lens to our sessions, meaning I care deeply about how your background, community, and identity impact your mental health. I work with a broad range of challenges and mental health concerns, but I’m especially passionate about helping people who are dealing with relationship and communication struggles, identity stress, chronic burnout and people-pleasing.
I begin the first session with inviting clients to share their story and goals within a compassionate, non-judgmental, warm and safe space. Your comfort is my priority, and we will always move at a pace that feels right for you. In this safe space, you’re invited to share your story whenever you're ready. Together, we'll figure out what's keeping you feeling stuck and give you the real-world tools you need to handle big emotions, communicate clearly, and build healthier relationships.
