Hello and welcome to my page! I have been in Social Work for the past 6 years and working as a therapist for the past 4. I have worked with a diverse population raging from children to adults with a range of topics needing to be discussed and improved upon. I mainly use techniques centered in CBT (Cognitive Behvioral Therapy) which means I emphasize gaining understanding between one's actions and thoughts. I believe in a client centered, strength based approach which highlights all of your many many positive qualities and applies them to the improvements you are wanting to see. I strive to make all my clients feel as comfortable as possible as I know how difficult the therapeutic process can be. I fully believe the more comfortable you are, the more space will be created for good work to be done. I use a non judgmental warm approach and gain as much understanding for my clients as possible. I know how important a tailored approach is and can adapt my therapy style to fit the correct needs of the client. I hope to speak with you soon!

Hey everyone! I'm excited to connect with you. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY. I possess certifications in Advanced Grief Counseling, Trauma Treatment and Telemental Health. I specialize in assisting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and grief/loss. I have experience working with BIPOC clients who struggled with maintaining a college/work-life balance while dealing with a variety of social, environmental, and race-based stressors. Stress is a common issue that I hear about in therapy, but I understand that each individual experiences it differently. Some may not even see it as a problem, viewing it instead as something they've been taught to endure due to family or cultural expectations. Stress can manifest in various ways, such as difficulty making decisions, problems concentrating, feelings of anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, headaches, and gastrointestinal issues. My goal is to create an accepting space where we can explore and address the stressors that weigh us down and collaborate to find effective coping strategies and a wellness plan. As a person of color, I am deeply committed to uplifting individuals from similar backgrounds and breaking down the mental health stigmas that often hold underserved communities back from seeking treatment.My philosophy centers on you, teamwork, and focusing on your strengths. I see our therapeutic journey as a collaborative effort that serves as a guide for transforming your life. Think of us as partners in this process: I'm here to provide you with the tools and support you need, while you take the lead in building your path to personal growth. Just like an architect doesn't construct the building for you, I won't solve your challenges for you. Instead, I'll empower you to create your own blueprint for success. Together, we will establish a foundation for you to confidently face future challenges with your skills.

I have worked with teenagers/young adults addressing the challenging and struggles associated with managing interpersonal relationships and finding our voice. I have worked with young adults transitioning to young adulthood and finding our voice and independence. I have experience working with adults managing family issues, career and relationships. Symptoms of depression and anxiety can be debilitating, I feel confident in supporting you on this journey of healing where we can work together to not only identify coping techniques but learning our triggers and behavior modifications techniques to help us manage the feelings and experience. my mission is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and develop the tools they need to thrive. I understand that everyone is unique, with their own set of challenges and goals. That's why I take the time to get to know you, and to understand your unique needs and experiences and together identify what healing looks like for you. I am merely a coach and your cheerleader. I am lucky to love what I do and am humbled that I get to be chosen to walk this journey of self- discovery and healing with you.

Hello, I like to say that I take an integrative approach to therapy, combining behavioral and humanistic therapies. I have experience working with several causes of suffering, including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma (or a combination). And I work from my belief that every person is larger than their symptoms and I want to work with you to help you live the life you want to live.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. I received my Master's in counseling from New York University with a certification in LGBTQ+ Health and affirming care. Starting therapy can be scary and empowering at the same time which is why I strife to create a safe environment in the beginning stages and help client identify their therapy goals for most positive outcome. Do you find yourself feeling stressed or overwhelmed without knowing exactly why? Are you stuck in your own head, or unable to break free from old habits that no longer serve you? I specialize in working with individuals who are motivated to explore and shift the thought patterns and behaviors that are keeping them from reaching their full potential.

I have worked for years as a clinician in an acute, inpatient psychiatric setting and have learned that I find working with trauma and stress related issues to be particularly rewarding in addition to working with clients to help manage mood, anxiety, OCD and depression so that individuals, couples and families can live an optimally functioning life. I believe clients are the experts on themselves and I work collaboratively to identify and implement strengths, needs and changes (as well as acceptance when change is not possible).

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New York rather than a city like New York City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New York from Buffalo to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New York.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Grief?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Grief, is filtering therapists in New York that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
