For more than 20 years, my primary focus has been to provide my patients with the highest quality of counseling and psychotherapy. If you are feeling stuck, held back or burdened, please call me. I will help you to understand your feelings, your thoughts... your life. I believe that each person's strength resides in their uniqueness and individuality. You have the potential to transform your life, to achieve greater inner peace, and to feel closer to other people.

I am dedicated to connecting with you and helping you work through difficult times. I am available for phone and video sessions currently. The nurturing environment of a therapeutic relationship can deepen your understanding of yourself and teach you new ways to handle life's difficulties. I strive to be compassionate, non-judgmental, genuine and down-to-earth, so you can feel safe and comfortable sharing your deepest feelings.

At some point, you may have experienced events that lead to many difficulties. Maybe you're grieving the loss of a loved one. Maybe you feel sad & empty often. You've found yourself feeling hopeless and ask "is it ever gonna get better?" You might have even blamed yourself for all things gone wrong. Prehaps you thought better is impossible. You may be losing interest in many things. You feel your anger is uncontrollable. Many times, you find yourself believing you don't matter or feeling low self-worth. This might include it being difficult to say you love yourself. If any of this sounds familiar, then I can help.

Life isn’t always easy. There are disappointments and victories, trying struggles, periods of blissful calm and resounding joy. Remaining mindful, open, motivated, and passionate, both about who you are, and the people and things that you love, requires ongoing focus and attention to self. An objective figure to assist you in accessing your internal motivation, refining your perspective, and ongoing maintenance of your emotional well being and functioning can be crucial in that endeavor.

I have been a licensed master's social worker since 2008 and have recently been certified as a clinical social worker. I obtained my graduate degree from Columbia university school of social work in New York. My goal as a therapist is to work with my clients and I prefer to place my clients at the front of my work and be a guide and a partner in addressing their "issues"
