I am licensed in New York with 10+ years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, empathy, and compassion. As a clinician, professional, and human being, I am gentle, honest, assertive and kind.
My professional experience has included therapy in an outpatient office setting as well as crisis intervention and therapy within the criminal justice system. I am also long term client of therapy myself.
I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs - using a variety of modalities and education. Everyone can benefit from therapy. With accountability and honesty, you will see this can be truly beneficial work.
My availability typically includes evenings and weekends, but sometimes daytime appointments can be accommodated.
