I am licensed in New York with 13 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, addiction, life changes, issues with body image and weight loss, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. My therapeutic style is fairly laid back and more personable while upholding professional guidelines and practices. My approach often, but not always, includes relating back to childhood roles and family dynamics as a way to help individuals understand how those things sometimes inform how one views themselves and informs choices one makes. At times, I will focus on patterns in a persons life in an effort to find the common denominator. I do not help answer "why" questions....but I do help answer "how" questions. "Why" questions are accusatory but "how" questions are inquisitive. For example, asking yourself, "Why did I do that when I knew it was going to be bad for me?" Only serves to accuse you of doing something wrong. Asking yourself, "How did I manage to convince myself to do that when I knew it was going to be bad for me" is a great way to explore all the things that informed your decision. When we know how we did something, we can then figure out how to do things differently. No matter what, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking this first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

I'm going to be straight with you. When I was graduating from my Master's program in Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University, I never DREAMED I would FAIL my first attempt at the licensing exam. ESPECIALLY after JUST PASSING it in order to GRADUATE! I ran so far away to a land that would allow me to practice while I sought supervision and take a different form of the exam that was geared towards those that were more HANDS ON! And guess what? I PASSED! Why do I share this? Because! As a therapist, I know that we all have failed at many points in our lives! I want my clients to know, that I am just as human as they may be. It’s not that I feel you need to know this to change, I need you to know that you are safe here! I am a passionate therapist, shaman, psychic medium, and energy healer that truly believes in assisting my client's in developing FULL BODY healing, through the mind, body, AND spirit! I am a Certified Spiritual Coach and currently working on regaining my Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, along with MANY other certificates. Please let me know if you'd like more information on any of my trainings. With that being said, because I provide a VERY holistic/energy based approach and I do go over our session times. This means that I provide my client's with the MOST authentic guidance I can give. This includes integrative modalities, such as energy healing, sound healing, and vocal frequencies. Schedule: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
