Perhaps you're just feeling down or nervous - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship or have recently been diagnosed with a serious illness. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. In my therapy sessions I promote healing by maintaining a person-centered focus by encouraging a positive outlook, the adoption of new attitudes, and fostering hope and healing. I have empathy, understanding, and personal and professional experience to help you cope and move forward.
I'm a licensed therapist in New York state (Licensed Mental Health Counselor/LMHC) with several years of experience counseling various groups of people which include: the terminally ill, people of color, those struggling with depression, anxiety, and self of esteem issues, and people who are experiencing difficult life transitions.
Your mental health and well-being is so important to me. I love helping people develop the tools they need to cope with all of life's challenges. I'd love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which both examine our thoughts and feelings that influence our behaviors. Exploring what's most important in your life or your values, challenging cognitive distortions, and learning to accept what may be hard to change helps clients to cope better and lower levels of emotional distress.
