About me
My ideal client is an individual, couple or family that is open to learning and growing from each other and committed to sticking with our sessions, even when they get difficult. Their needs will vary, as life shifts but the client will openly communicate with the clinician in order to continue moving forward. In terms of goals, the client and I will work together to form goals and adjust as needs change and accomplishments are made. My clients will be open to setting new goals as accomplishments are made and be dedicated despite any potential set backs.
I have studied and utilized a number of specialties, including those listed on my profile. I hope to personalize and tailor my approach based on each client, their needs, and what will work best with their lifestyle to try and maintain a positive, productive environment. I will also take into consideration what approaches the client has experienced before.
I am a licensed psychotherapist based in New York City and have been practicing for three years now. I have degrees in Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling, which have allowed me extensive experience with a wide range of populations. I love taking my dogs for walk around the neighborhood, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my family. My practice is looking to help those who are committed to identifying problems and stressors to promote personal growth.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I am always happy to chat via phone or email to reassure clients and provide clarification to ensure that we are a good fit before beginning to work together. I look forward to hearing from you!
