I have been working for the past nine years assisting individuals, couples, and families who have a wide range of challenges including: schizophrenia, bipolar, depression, anxiety, trauma, marriage, parenting, grief, addiction, LGBTQ+, as well as others. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental space for individuals to be able to share their thoughts and feelings about what brought them to counseling and work on whatever specific goals they may have. My own life experiences dealing with grief and loss, marriage and divorce, parenting , anxiety, depression, as well as family members with mental health and addiction issues, have enabled me to have a deeper understanding of individuals who are dealing with some of these challenges .

If you are dealing with multiple challenges/obstacles you need to know how to deal with them. Oftentimes we don't feel like we have a handle on our emotions, or how to deal with our personal/work/family relationships. And when such difficulties arise; one cannot function effectively in life. The first step is to acknowledge that you want to feel better hence wanting to change your thinking and behavior. My goal in working with you is to get you to a better space where you develop a clearer, stronger, positive, and self -reflective view of yourself and the environment around you. With many years of experience and practice, I offer an empathetic, warm, friendly, and honest approach to therapy which will hopefully help you learn more about yourself. As a therapist, my treatment style is solution focused hence I like working with clients in short-term treatment who are coming to therapy for crises intervention and/or a goal specific need. In the beginning of working with me I will want to know what brought you to treatment in your own words, and what you would like to get out of treatment. In addition depending on the work that I a m doing with you; I may provide you with literature for you to read and/or strategies/techniques to work on during your treatment process. I believe in the client being an active participant in their treatment process. I believe in holding my clients accountable for their actions; which I believe helps build healthy confidence as they navigate how to resolve their problems. In addition I believe understanding where someone came from culturally and environmentally is essential in helping them go forward. I will always acknowledge and validate a client''s culture, background, as well as their true authentic self.

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!
