I am licensed in New York with over 10 years of professional experience.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
I like to start with the main reason the client is seeking therapy, any previous therapy experiences and any specific needs.
People seek therapy for many reasons. Sometimes a specific situation or life event or a new/ongoing mental health condition. Even the desire to learn, grow and explore the self, with a trusted guide.
I encourage clients to set goals they are comfortable with and assist with steps to reach these goals.
I have experience ranging from addiction, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, self-esteem to trauma and co-occurring disorders.
No one person's pain is more valid than another's.
I subscribe to Yalom's Existential philosophy that, "It is the relationship that heals". Creating a safe, trusting and open connection is paramount in a client-therapist bond.
My style is a combination of casual/professional, direct/gentle, catered to a client's overall needs and needs for a particular session.
I often use humor and care deeply for my clients.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
