Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counsellor (LMHC) based in New York. I received my Masters from Mercy College and have been practicing for 5 years. I help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD and bipolar DO, become the best versions of themselves. I do this by helping clients address the feelings that make them feel ashamed, alone, afraid and unwanted.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
In my 5 years of counseling, I have become very competent in creating an environment where my clients are able to grow and thrive as we work together to identify barriers that block their potential. I provide a safe space and a comfortable environment that makes it easier for clients to trust they are not being judged and are free to open up about whatever is on their heart. I provide support, a listening ear, and encouragement so that the client leaves each session feeling optimistic and a bit lighter.
I love working with the individuals I serve because they are typically very strong and have so much they want to accomplish. However, due to the issues they struggle with, they don't have the tools or don't believe in themselves enough to step out and make it happen.
Using CBT in my practice for the past five years has helped my clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to help you recognize how your thoughts and feelings, influence behaviors. Acknowledging this will help change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
