Health Net Therapists in New York

You deserve to live a life that feels conscious and joyful. I believe in the power of therapy to help you find clarity, meaning and fulfillment on your own terms. Together, we will work to gain profound insight into your inner world—managing self-limiting beliefs, behaviors and relational patterns in the process. It is my role and honor to walk by your side in the transformative process of deepening your connection with your most authentic and self-aware self. I work primarily with clients struggling with relationships, anxiety, limerence, spiritual distress and life-cycle transitions.

My therapy style is grounded in empathy and connection. I believe the relationship between myself and my clients is the foundation and most important component of our work together.

Through a collaborative approach, my goal is to provide my clients with support and professional guidance as we embark on this journey together. I am committed to helping clients find healing through working together and feeling heard and understood.

I graduated from Pace University with my Master's Degree as a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and Substance Abuse Counselor.

This is why my theoretical approach is humanistic and client-centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Adler, and Gestalt.

I am a Christian Counselor. I believe that psychotherapy is more effective when Christ is central to the process. Since God created the child, adolescent and his/her parents, He is the one with the wisdom to bring healing and restoration to the family. Though I have specialized with children and adolescents many adults have requested to see me and now my practice is expanding to include adults. Christian Counseling unites Biblical values with the power of the Holy Spirit, together with the knowledge base of psychology and social work to bring emotional and mental health healing to people.

An effective therapy experience is one that supports a person in recognizing their own capabilities and potential, while using strengths to mitigate challenges.

I am a firm believer that every session should give you a piece of your own puzzle and over time help you gain the skills to navigate your own thoughts, control your behavioral and emotional responses, and understand your relationship patterns and conflicts.
