Hey there! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in "The Big Apple" AKA New York. I received my Masters from New York University (NYU) and have been practicing for 4 years! As a psychotherapist, I specialize in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, depression, and confidence.

I empower clients to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors, set goals, develop coping skills, and build resilience. Beyond therapy sessions, I provide psychoeducation, resources, and support to help clients navigate daily life more effectively. Taking the first step toward therapy can be daunting, and I commend clients for their courage in seeking support!

I have a master’s degree with a law minor from Columbia University and a bachelor's in psychology from the University of Michigan; I've practiced social work for 20+ years. I’ve devoted much of my career to social justice and have worked with, and on behalf of kids and adults of all ages in the areas of mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, education, LGBTQIA+ rights, and homeless services.

*Currently accepting new adult individual clients via telehealth* I am a licensed mental health counselor in NY and FLA working in the field for 8 years in various different roles. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults. I have worked in group practices to hospital settings helping clients suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, impulsivity, and more. I use a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy helping clients understand their thoughts and develop ways that they can change their negative thought process to more positive thoughts to better their overall well being. In our first session, we will get to know one another better and decide what goals are important to work towards making the positive life changes that help you become the best version of yourself.
