Having 10+ yrs experience in the mental health field (working at a notable NY psychiatric hospital, private practice for 6); I understand navigating through life's challenges can be overwhelming, and it's okay to seek support. With over a decade of experience, I am here to help you on your journey towards a better place. Utilizing evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and prolonged exposure therapy, accelerated resolution therapy (ART), motivational interviewing, I am committed to assisting you in developing coping skills and finding positive solutions.
My counseling style is energetic, positive, active, and engaged. I operate from a person-centered approach, meeting you where you are in your journey while challenging you as well. Understanding your patterns and empowering you to make positive changes is my goal. I am constantly trying to improve my skills through trainings to help my clients.
Taking the first step towards reaching out to a mental health professional may feel daunting, but I promise to make this journey as comfortable as possible. If you're considering therapy for any reason, I invite you to connect with me. Let's work together to make positive changes in your life. I look forward to hearing from you!
