Hello and welcome to BetterHelp. I am a Licensed Mental Heath Counselor in New York. I became a mental health therapist because I know firsthand the life-changing impact that genuine support and guidance can have during difficult times. My own journey through therapy inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others find hope, healing, and strength — just as my therapist once did for me. With over 14 years of experience in the field, I take a compassionate, holistic approach to therapy. I believe that every person is unique, and I’m committed to truly getting to know you — your story, your struggles, and your strengths — so that together, we can create a path forward that meets your specific needs. It’s been my privilege to support individuals through a wide range of life’s challenges.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I am dedicated to the supporting the well-being of my clients from a Christian perspective, though I welcome all who seek counseling, regardless of religious background. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or parenting/marital troubles, I provide a safe place for you to come individually, as a family, or as a couple. While traditional therapy focuses more on the individual, MFT examines how an individual’s behavior affects both the individual and their relationship as part of a couple or family. The theory behind MFT is that regardless of whether a problem appears to be within an individual or within a family, getting other family members involved in the therapeutic process will result in more effective solutions. MFT is goal-oriented and works toward an established end result. In recent years, MFT practitioners and groups have called for expanded approaches to traditional MFT training that incorporate more “real world” practices to integrate other therapies and become more inclusive of non-heterosexual couples and families. I would address the behaviors of all family members and the way these behaviors affect not only individual family members, but also relationships between family members and the family unit as a whole. As such, treatment is usually divided between time spent on individual therapy and time spent on couple therapy, family therapy, or both, if necessary.
