I am passionate about offering a non-judgmental, open, and empathic environment so that clients feel safe in exploring their concerns. My approach is collaborative, interactive, and strength-based. I work from a belief that my role is not to “fix” clients but to support them in creating shifts in their lives from a place of choice and awareness.
I believe in creating a warm and nurturing environment where you will feel safe to embrace your shadows, but also challenged to develop resilience, gain new perspectives, and ultimately foster a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we will work towards self-acceptance and breaking through limitations.
Feel free to text my office at 917-426-1521 with any questions. If using insurance, please note that Expansive Therapy only works with PPO and POS plans as we are out of network providers. We do all the leg work for you - check your benefits, submit claims for you, and advocate for higher reimbursement. Depending on your plan, copays can be as low as $25.
