Let's Connect (929) 810-2329
I work with individuals providing a client centered approach to make sure that they are comfortable in treatment and can carry the skills that we work on in sessions into the outside environment. I want to make sure that clients feel heard and supported on their journey toward overall wellness.
I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, anger management, family, women and marital issues and chronic stress/trauma related difficulties. I work closely with clients to help them reach their goals and achieve wellness so that they can cope effectively and feel better about their situations.
It is of upmost importance to me that clients feel comfortable and supported on this journey. I offer a 15 minute introduction session to see if we are a good fit and look forward to working together as a team.
