Let's Connect (516) 667-1586
I'm an eclectic, client-centered clinician who views counseling as a collaboration. I strive to bring genuine warmth and acceptance to the therapeutic relationship so my clients feel safe and unconditionally supported to grow and change. I enjoy working with all adult populations regarding a variety of issues and am experienced in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma.
I pull from humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic frameworks to suit my clients' needs. I strive to empower my clients to make changes while cultivating self-compassion and radical acceptance. I'm also EMDR-trained and certified in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy.
I'd be honored to accompany you on your journey of self-discovery and growth. I look forward to getting to know and hold space for you as you to build the life that you want and deserve.
