I’m a licensed mental health counselor, based in New York. I have been in the mental health field for over 10 years, working in different settings from transitional housing for individuals with severe mental challenges to our patience services. I believe my experience helps me in taking a holistic approach. My aim is to help my clients develop the necessary skills to effectively address life’s challenges and barriers.
In the first session, I like to focus on obtaining background information from the client as well as developing rapport. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, therefore, from there I like to focus on helping clients identify their own therapy goals and objectives
My clients often describe me as very supportive and nonjudgmental. If you work well with a clinician had a more “ tough love” approach, I may not be the best clinician for you
Focus on skills development in order to improve mindfulness, emotional regulations, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness
