About My Clients

In our initial session, I delve into the various aspects of your life to understand your identity. We'll then discuss your treatment goals and map out the path to achieving them. I firmly believe that sustained change is possible through effort and overcoming challenges. My approach involves providing compassionate feedback, empathetic listening, and addressing bothersome perceptions. I strive to create a safe space for you to unpack your burdens and leave feeling lighter.

My Background and Approach

The therapeutic space is yours! Utilizing a person-centered approach, I invite clients to self-determine goals related to their emotional wellbeing. I lean on cognitive and motivational interviewing frameworks to explore thought patterns and behaviors contributing to mental distress. My practice is rooted in cultivating a deeper understanding of self and self-empowerment. In a world, where we are asked to be ‘New York tough,’ I embrace my clients’ strength of being vulnerable. In therapy, we will work together to explore your emotional + mental needs and how to nurture them.
