Therapists in New York

Hello there! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. I received my Masters in Counseling from the University of Albany and have been practicing for 8 years in the therapeutic community. I help individuals struggling with daily stressors and the impact it has on their daily functioning, helping others become a happier, healthier version of themselves.

I worked for 15 years in a hospital, providing individual, family, and group psychotherapy. I had the privilege of working with clients from all over the world, with different backgrounds and of various age groups. Currently, I transitioned to work privately providing telehealth therapy. I believe compassion, caring, and the therapeutic alliance are most important in the helping process. These are the core values informing my practice. I use a gentle and creative approach in guiding my clients on their healing journey. I draw from various therapeutic approaches depending on the clients' needs, stage of therapy, and mental health issue. For example, for Bipolar disorder, I combine interpersonal, supportive and CBT modalities in a collaborative and empathic setting. Most importantly, I believe that compassion, openness and acceptance, build a strong therapeutic alliance, key to maximizing a client’s successful outcome.
