My purpose is to help you improve balance, harmony, and growth in your life. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, lgbtq issues, loss of a loved one, career or academic challenges, I utilize a strengths based approach to empower you. My approach is guided by a commitment to two principles: 1. You are the expert on your life and by enhancing that expertise, significant change can occur and 2. You can create actions that will increase happiness, no matter the circumstances. I offer individual one on one telehealth video sessions to anyone in New York. Please call or email for an appointment.
I create a safe, therapeutic space where you can feel comfortable to explore the layers of whatever is affecting you without judgment and shame. In doing so, you will become aware of your ability to make choices that will result in a more fulfilling life for yourself.
I am a NYC native with 23+ years of clinical experience throughout the 5 boroughs. I use a social justice lens and am mindful of the negative impact micro-aggressions based on race, sexuality, gender, and religion can have on individual experience. My practice is culturally competent and I utilize a diversity. equity, and inclusion lens in my work.
