Welcome! I'm a New York based therapist (LMHC-Licensed Mental Health Counselor). I received my Masters from Columbia University and have been practicing for 15 years. I help adults struggling with managing their stress, career related anxiety, burnout, difficulties with life changes, and stress related to college. My passion is to support clients with learning new coping skills in order for them to become the better versions of themselves.

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

1) First Intake Session & Consultation: In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, and I will begin to conduct my consultation and initial intake interview with you, so I can learn about your therapy goals and your mental health symptoms, in order for me to determine if I am the best fit therapist for you. 2) Follow-Up Sessions: If I am the best fit for you, we will have follow-up sessions. This is when you begin the exciting and growth producing part of therapy! During sessions you can expect that you and I will work as a team, in a supportive, compassionate, authentic safe space. We will collaborate and create therapy strategies to support you with your therapy goals.

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

I provide a safe space for clients by genuinely listening, being encouraging, compassionate and sharing kind honest therapeutic feedback. I focus on clients strengths, motivation and action-oriented skill building, in order to support them with achieving their desired outcomes. By working with adults ages 18-55, through various life stages, I've developed a supportive nature, to help clients identify the causes of their challenges and create a customized plan that leads to progress.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have specialized in using CBT in my practice for the past 15 years. It supports clients with challenging reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety and stress. We will use CBT to learn how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, and how to change your thinking patterns to improve your mental health.

Integrative

I enjoy utilizing Integrative Therapy. This method supports clients with learning how to manage their anxiety and stress, by using a combination of therapy methods to best suit a client's unique needs. I integrate CBT, SFBT, Positive Psychology, Humanistic and Multicultural Psychology. The Integrative Method allows me to create customized therapy for each individual client in order to achieve treatment effectiveness.
