I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with an abundance of training in anxiety, depression, stress management, marital/relationship issues, self esteem issues and adjustment disorders brought on by a major life change, such as divorce, relocation or a new baby. As a therapist I am very curious and seek to understand the client’s worldview, thought process, history, behavioral patterns, stressors and how they all contribute to how the person feels. My clients can expect me to listen to their concerns with a nonjudgmental stance and recommending different strategies to help them with what they are going through. In my therapy sessions I utilize mostly Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Humanistic Therapy and Mindfulness modalities. I have been trained in a variety of other helpful clinical interventions that I use to compliment our therapy sessions. My goal as a therapist and a holistic life coach is to work collaboratively with you on your healing journey. Transformation happens on the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical levels, taking the whole person into consideration. I can support you in moving from coping to healing to thriving.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is to provide a non-judgmental, empathetic and supportive environment for clients to discuss anything and everything that is on their mind. I love to help clients explore strategies that can help them achieve their goals and keep them motivated on moving towards growth and happiness.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this method of treatment when addressing a variety of psychological issues including depression, anxiety, substance use and relationship issues. CBT helps challenge the cognitive distortions that create stress and maladaptive behavioral patterns.
Humanistic
I use this type of therapy to help clients focus on the whole individual and exploring their sense of purpose and well being. The focus is less on past life events and more of what is currently going on in one's life. We will talk about overall well-being and achieving personal goals.
Interpersonal
I use this therapy to help treat mood disorders. I work as a non-judgmental guide to help you improve your relational problems so you can better manage your social functioning and interpersonal relationships.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use this approach to help people who seek to gain more self-confidence, a stronger sense of identity or authenticity, greater success in establishing interpersonal relationships, and more trust in their own decisions. The client will do most of the talking while I restate your words in an effort to fully understand your thoughts and feelings
