I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 7 years of experience in a variety of settings from substance abuse facilities to community-based mental health agencies to public schools. I predominately work with those caught in the harsh cycle of trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and/or substance use. Don't worry though; I have experience with a variety of additional concerns including (but not limited to) ADHD/ADD, relationship issues, family conflicts and dynamics, self-esteem/self-identity, suicidality and self-harm, panic attacks/Panic Disorder, OCD, and Military/Veteran/First responder issues You live your story and struggles every day. Because of this, I strongly believe that you are the expert on your unique story and that you possess many strengths that will assist you in overcoming your challenges. Serving as a guide and support, I believe together we can work to bring positive change to your life. Taking steps towards change takes courage and I am so proud of you for taking that leap for change!

Whether it be therapy, counseling, guidance, coaching, or the need for connection that influenced your search for services, I’m glad you did it and am looking forward to assisting you as you create your version of a life worth living. For many people and for different reasons, it’s hard to say you want help much less take the steps to find it and I commend you, genuinely for taking the initiative to do so. With your perseverance and my understanding of behavior change, insight development, and skill building; you will be successful in achieving your goals. My approach to improving mental health is aided by a thorough understanding of acute, chronic, and situational mental illnesses as well as experience in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of diverse populations including working professionals, LGBTQIA, students, and communities of color. I specialize in the treatment of personality disorders, trauma, and suicide prevention. I am certified in several psychotherapeutic modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I also utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness practices. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Florida State University and a Master of Social Work from Saint Leo University. I have gained my current knowledge from working with community, private, medical, and school mental health services. Looking forward to working with you. I am currently accepting new clients. If for some reason you can't book an appointment or schedule, please call the new client booking team at (646) 687 9932.

I lead with a warm, supportive approach rooted in trauma-informed care and crisis intervention. I’ve worked with children, older adults, and families, using both family systems and cognitive behavioral techniques to support healing and growth. I value genuine connection and strive to empower my clients while linking them to meaningful community resources and support networks. I have more recently worked with older adults and their families to support life transitions and interpersonal challenges that may come with change.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a space where you feel truly seen, accepted, and celebrated. I focus on building a strong, trusting relationship where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I tailor each session to your unique needs and strengths using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), gender-affirming therapy, supportive therapy, and a multicultural approach. I believe that therapy is all about supporting you in creating meaningful change and growth while gently challenging any distorted ideas that hold you back. Together, we’ll work on developing coping strategies, fostering resilience, and creating the life and balance you’ve always wanted. I genuinely look forward to getting to know you and seeing the best in you, even when you can’t.

Do you feel in control of your mind or do certain thoughts seem to be taking control of you? Our mind is a powerful tool. My desire for you is to regain control of your thoughts, feelings, and actions by understanding the meaning behind those feelings and behaviors that are causing stress and negative consequences. I've found that by working together to identify hidden triggers we can make significant changes that help us get closer to our desired goals in the journey to self-awareness.

In my 13 years of experience, I have worked with individuals who are feeling emotionally stuck due to sadness, irritability, relationship issues, anger, financial loss, unresolved trauma, loss of a loved one and/or anxiety. These emotions may lead you into a mental whirlwind which feels chaotic and uncontrollable. But know that you are not alone and there is hope. I will provide you with treatment focused on using evidence-based practices such as Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Based Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy. I will engage you in creating a treatment plan that works for you! I will assist you in identifying your interest of focus (personal issues), empower you to process and reach your goals as you achieve emotional stability in therapy.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Struggling with relationships or making decisions? Life can often feel out of control. Therapy can help. Finding the right therapist matters so here's a little about me to help you decide. As a teenager, I often wished for someone outside my family or friends—someone who would truly listen without judgment, a sounding board to help me navigate life’s decisions. That experience inspired me to become that person for others. For over 11 years, I’ve worked as a psychotherapist, supporting clients through relationship challenges, anxiety and depression, career transitions, neurodivergence, parenting, burnout, and spiritual or existential questions. Every person is unique, which is why I take a collaborative and compassionate approach—tailoring evidence-based techniques to your specific needs and goals. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you. You are worthy!

I am a clinical social worker, therapist & life coach. I collaborate with clients in facilitating their ability to navigate their journey through change. I provide clients the opportunity to learn, change and grow, and I provide guidance for them to learn healthy adaptive ways to improve their response to encounters with life stressors and challenging life situations. Clients are engaged in various evidence based therapeutic interventions and the exploration and discovery of their untapped potential, so they can harness the necessary skills and strategies to facilitate behavioral change. In the scope of my practice I aim to empower clients through sessions that are based on a holistic, client driven approach. I view clients through the lens of their personal environment, as their well-being is significantly shaped by their life experiences. In addressing clients presenting issues, I take into consideration the correlation between their presenting issues and their environment; i.e., social, cultural and physical, that contribute to current challenging life circumstances. Focus is given to past experiences and current situations to help them navigate their therapy encounter and future successfully.

In therapy, I counsel individuals, families, couples, and children. No matter how trivial an issue may seem, everyone has issues in life. If it is causing you emotional pain, that is a good reason to seek out help. I understand everyone has a different journey in their lives and I would like to assist you in your path to self-discovery and healing. Your issues may be stress, loneliness, sadness, frustration, or concern for a loved one. You are not alone and I am ready to help you explore strategies to help you improve your life. Each session is provided in a warm and compassionate environment. I will ask you some questions so I can understand which issues you want to focus on. Therapy is a process of learning and the rewards are great. You will develop parts of yourself that you did not know existed. This will help you to become a better parent, partner, and best friend to yourself and your loved ones. Are you ready to take that step of self-discovery to become the best version of yourself? I want to guide you in your path to self-discovery, happiness, and peace. I have been counseling clients for over 24 years and I work with all populations. My counseling modalities include Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution-focused, and Person-Centered therapy. When I counsel children, I use all of these in addition to Play therapy. Many of the therapeutic issues we work together on are Self-esteem, relationships, communication, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, Social skills, and grief. I am a licensed therapist and have a Masters Degree in counseling. I have spent many years counseling children, adolescents, and adults. Although therapy may look different with each population, the process is equally meaningful in all sessions.
