Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor working in New York. Since 2007, I have worked in in psychiatric rehabilitation centers, private practice clinics and crisis centers which has helped me gain a significant amount of knowledge helping individuals of all backgrounds and conditions.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I tend to utilize a person-centered, holistic, solution-focused and reality-based approach to therapy. This basically means that everyone is an individual and clients should lead the way in what we focus on in therapy; however the way we resolve these issues should be realistic and manageable based on their specific situation.


No two clients are exactly the same, so my approach to helping each client will be completely unique and individualized to that person.

What you can expect from our first session

During our sessions my hope is you will feel welcomed, accepted and optimistic about the future and your ability to handle what life throws at you. We will laugh and we might cry but we will make sure to leave each session with a clear plan (big or small) on what steps need to be taken to progress towards the therapy goal you've set.
