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.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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
