I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with many years of experience working as an addiction and trauma counselor. I have a Masters in Arts (MA) from New York University (NYU) in Counseling Psychology. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, genuineness, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior therapy with humanistic (person-centered) and psychodynamic features. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life.
My experience includes working with individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse including PTSD symptoms. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including Depression, Anxiety, chemical addiction issues, as well as individuals who have OCD, Autism, and a wide variety of personality disorders.

"
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. We can also continue using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which initially allows for mindfulness and emotional regulation.
