About Me

I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York with over 3 years of experience working as a clinician. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, self-esteem issues, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, foster care issues, trauma, emotional abuse, OCD and ADHD.

My counseling style is comforting and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach includes cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and rational-emotive counseling. I will create a treatment plan that best meets your unique and specific needs.

It takes a lot of courage and work to look to live a happy life filled with laughter and joy. Seeking assistance to help guide you in that direction is a great step to take as it shows that you want change in your life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
