As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of compassionate, client-centered experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding the unique journeys of each person who enters my practice, with specialized expertise in addressing stress, anxiety, family dynamics, trauma recovery, and personal growth.
I am particularly committed to helping clients navigate intricate emotional landscapes, including issues related to self-esteem, communication challenges, social anxiety, and personal transformation. My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop meaningful strategies for personal empowerment.
My practice focuses on holistic healing, drawing from evidence-based approaches to support clients across diverse life stages—from young adults to those experiencing midlife transitions as well as those caring for their parents. I am dedicated to walking alongside my clients, offering genuine understanding and professional guidance as they work towards emotional wellness and personal fulfillment.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I also have faith base therapy experience for those that are looking for faith based therapy. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
