Accepting Clients

Using my skills as a therapist is my passion. My specializations are in anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I'm honored to assist you.

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY

About My Clients

My clients are experiencing anxiety or depression that is negatively impacting their daily lives. They are looking for relief as quickly as possible in a non-judgmental space. After learning behavioral techniques and coping skills, my clients are able to effectively manage their symptoms. In the next phase of therapy, and when my client shows readiness, we will explore the root causes of their symptoms. This involves exploring past trauma, attachment issues, or triggers that activate anxiety.

My Background and Approach

I believe that everyone has the ability to heal and grow. I am here to support you through life's challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, and working through trauma. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your current symptoms and process their root causes. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral and Cognitive Processing Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Approaches. These practices allow for negative symptom relief and positive life skills building. I utilize a trauma focused lens in my treatment which allows my client to develop a deeper understanding of their symptoms and behaviors. I have 30 years of experience in the field of psychology and counseling. I am a graduate of New York University's Mental Health and Wellness Master's program and currently own a solo practice in New York City.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be their best self. Often we become the product of what has happened to us in life. My passion is helping my clients discover who they are capable of being so that they can learn to cope with what has happened to them and start living their full potential. I became even more passionate about trauma focused therapy and EMDR practices when I had treatment myself. The connections I learned about my own trauma and current maladaptive behaviors were major "aha" moments. I believe my own professional work has been strengthened through my own therapy. I am an ally to the LGBTQ+IA community. Proudly, I take community action through marches, fundraisers, and other supportive measures. I would love to speak with you to see if we are a good fit to work together on your wellness journey.
