As a seasoned clinician in New York, I come to you with more than twenty years of experience practicing in the field of mental health, where I have served both in large health care systems and smaller community-based organizations. In these environments, I have been privileged to work with individuals and families who faced emotional and psychological struggles, depression, anxiety and stress related to career, family, life/role transitions and conflicts. Additionally, those challenged with coping with chronic/terminal illnesses, varying degrees of trauma and mental health disturbances were also among those whom I have served. So whether it is one of the previously mentioned stressors you face, or you are just not feeling like yourself because of the pandemic we are living with, I can help you navigate through them and work to regain a better, healthier you. Given the insurmountable loss, whether it is loss of loved ones or loss of routine, we are prone to, or may have experienced, reactions and essentially may be reconsidering the way we live our lives. Often stress not only impacts our mental health, but also our physical health. Realizing that achieving wellness can take time, my goal is to collaborate with you at every encounter to accomplish your goal. Overall, I pride myself on being a good listener, is compassionate and empathetic. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to seek professional help and an even greater amount to make change. In closing, I am committed to working with you on your healing path, empowering you and supporting you on your journey to living a more fulfilling life.
