Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York. I believe therapy is a collaborative and supportive process where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgement. My approach is warm, compassionate and client centered. I strive to create a safe space where you can be open and honest about your experiences. Taking the time to understand you as a whole person- not just the challenges that brought you to therapy is paramount to the helping process. In our work together, we'll explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships and experiences while identifying practical strategies that can help you move toward the life you want. It is my belief that you are the expert of your own life, my role is to support and empower you along the way.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. You’ll have space to discuss what you’ve been experiencing, what’s been challenging and what you hope to change.
I'm naturally empathetic, approachable, and a good listener. I add value to building a genuine therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect. Whether you are navigating a difficult transition or feeling overwhelmed, working through relationship or emotional challenges etc you don't have to walk through it alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you and support at your own pace.
I work with clients who are open to exploring their thoughts, emotions, relationships and patterns in a supportive non judgemental environment. My goal is to meet you where you are to help you achieve the goals and relationships you desire. Even if you don’t know you want to end up just take the first step and be willing to explore!
In practice, I help clients notice patterns that may be contributing to distress and then work together to develop healthier more balanced ways of thinking and responding.
For clients who desire faith based counseling we may explore how your relationship with God & Christian values may support your healing growth and decision making.
I approach couples counseling by creating a safe space where both partners can feel heard and respected. Rather than placing blame or determining who’s “right” we will work together to understand the patterns that may be creating conflict. Always remember it’s you two against the problem not each other!
