Great to meet you!

Hello, I am an LCSW in New York. My counseling approach combines cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and solution-based counseling. I am a very eclectic clinician who understands that you are the expert in your own life. I will work with you to tailor the direction of treatment and use dialogue to meet your own specific and unique needs. I look forward to working with you.

My approach to therapy

I am very interested, invested, and involved with my clients; I care deeply that they show progress in treatment and this is accomplished by developing meaningful relationships with them. To me, a big part of therapy is caring, empathy, and understanding, as nothing can be accomplished without these. I like to work with all types of people and have done so in my career. I have no preconceived notions or judgments toward any clients and I feel that my clients feel this in our interactions.

What you can expect from me

I strive for my clients to have a sense of feeling understood and accepted in the therapy setting. I hope that they will begin to feel an improvement in their day to day well being and life satisfaction with the help of their participation in our working together.
