About My Clients

I work best with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or struggling with identity, boundaries, or life transitions. I also support individuals impacted by family conflict or past abuse who are ready to heal, build healthier relationships, and develop stronger emotional regulation and self-understanding.

My Background and Approach

I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from NYU and have experience working with adolescents and adults in outpatient and community-based settings. My clinical work has focused on anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and relationship concerns. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based interventions to help clients develop practical coping tools and deeper self-awareness. My style is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and empowering—offering a safe space to process difficult experiences while also building skills for emotional regulation, boundary-setting, and healthier relationships. Clients often appreciate my balance of empathy and directness, helping them move from feeling stuck to feeling capable and in control of their growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe healing happens in spaces where people feel seen, respected, and safe to be fully themselves. I value authenticity, cultural humility, and social justice, and I strive to create an affirming environment for clients of all identities and backgrounds. I support LGBTQ+ individuals and believe deeply in equity and access to mental health care for marginalized communities. My work is guided by compassion, curiosity, and a belief in each person’s resilience. I am especially mindful of how family systems, culture, and past trauma shape our sense of self. I aim to show up not just as a professional, but as a grounded, empathetic human being who honors your lived experience and walks alongside you in your growth.
