Therapists in Rockland County, NY

As a therapist, I provide respect and empathy towards clients from all walks of life. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults who suffer from anxiety and depression. I am very compassionate and committed to working together to generate positive change. I offer to create an environment where clients are comfortable in working at their own pace and expressing their feelings and discussing their experiences when they are ready. Together we will implement and explore strategies that will help address and manage whatever situation being faced.

If you are a queer and/or trans person of color looking to explore the ways that your intersectional identities shape your life, I may be the right fit for you! I'm interested in working with folks who want to move beyond mainstream, Western narratives of mental health and well-being, and connect with the roots and paths that have forged your unique path. How do we define our "best self", and what societal structures may have impacted that idea? How do we move towards being more comfortable and vulnerable at the expense of shattering lifelong ideas of how we are meant to live?

Here to help you remember who you really are.
