About me
Hi! I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in the state of New York and New Jersey. I have been working in the counseling and mental health fields for over 12 years. I have experience working in residential and outpatient settings, mobile crisis, respite and peer services. I also have my own telehealth private practice where I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and trauma. I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of challenges including interpersonal issues, life cycle changes and transitions, personal growth, adjustment issues, and crisis.
My counseling style is warm and collaborative. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, as we work together to empower you while working towards positive change. I believe that growth is truly possible when you are ready to put in the work towards making a meaningful and positive transformation in your life. My focus is helping individuals and couples heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths and resiliency. This is done while understanding and overcoming the adverse impact of everyday stressors and past experiences that come up in our journey to well-being. This is achieved by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, working collaboratively and using varying approaches such as solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and psychoeducational counseling. I will tailor your journey toward your goals to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek guidance during tough times so I commend you for taking this step and I look forward to working with you as you pursue a more fulfilling and happier life for yourself. I am here to support and empower you.
Talk to you soon!
