I am a compassionate, empathetic and intuitive licensed mental health counselor. I enjoy working with clients who are ready to embark on their journey of self-discovery which will allow them to make changes that will ultimately make them feel better and inspired to accomplish their goals. My approach is collaborative and I utilize an eclectic combination of therapeutic modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and insight oriented therapy. I work with a diverse population treating depression, anxiety, relationship issues and trauma. I particularly enjoy supporting and working with adolescents and young adults who may be initially hesitant to try talk therapy. I truly believe that therapy is the best gift that we can give ourselves. Providing and maintaining a safe and non-judgmental space fosters an open dialogue and a healthy professional therapist and client connection. I earned an Ed.M in Counseling Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. I have held my NYS Mental Health Counselor License for over 25 years. I am also bilingual English and Spanish for clients who may have a preference or would like to have the option to express their thoughts and feelings in either or both languages.
