My vision as a professional counselor is to assist clients in finding and becoming their best selves. I believe that with support each person can reach their greatest potential and truly live a life on purpose as their best selves. I utilize the theory based on Existentialism, which is focused on one finding a purpose and meaning in life that will propel them forward toward the ideal self. Within that philosophy I lean on Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma informed strategies to dispel distortions that are so easily created in our mind’s eye. The use of meditation, breathing exercises, positive affirmations, as well as yoga can be found in my counseling tool belt and are used with nervous, anxious and/or depressed clients. I also use Emotional Freedom Technique as well as Somatic strategies to align body, mind and spirit. When my clients come to visit me I want each one to feel safe and comfortable to be whom they are in the moment and together we can navigate the road to wellness and strength.

Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyTrauma and abuseGriefDepressionCoping with life changes
9 years offering treatment
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in New York. I have been providing psychotherapy for more than ten years. I have worked with clients with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and other mental health conditions. I have an eclectic approach to therapy. However, there are some approaches that clients are consistently receptive to, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, DBT, modeling, motivation interviewing, etc., which I generally use. Although, I typically prefer to match the clients' needs to specific therapeutic approaches, thereby significantly increasing the effectiveness of treatment. Every client needs respect, acceptance, and compassion treatment, which I always give. I do not believe in judgment, prejudice, discrimination, or labels in therapy, as these prevent treatment from being successful. I strive to empower my clients through insight and strategies to enrich their lives and become self-sufficient in managing their problems/conditions/situations. I commend every client for seeking treatment as it shows the strength and determination to help and improves themselves. My skills and knowledge can assist clients as they take the first step toward their treatment. Let's begin the healthy and healing process together.
