As a counselor based in humanistic and relational cultural theory, I believe you are the person who knows yourself best. Throughout life, circumstances leading to disruptions in well-being can produce self-doubt, a negative view of self, and low self-worth. Even through these times, each person still has autonomy and the ability to make effective decisions that fit in accordance with their lives. One of my goals is to expand self-awareness so you can live in a more purposeful way that aligns with your values.
As a person and counselor, you can expect a warm, genuine attitude from me and an invested sense of care in your overall well-being. Throughout therapy, I offer compassion and encourage each individual to act in ways that are true to themselves with the notion of self-discovery being the key to greater authenticity.
Feel free to text my office at 917-426-1521 if you'd like to get started or have questions. If using insurance, my office manager is happy to check your benefits for you and lay out a fee structure. We also submit all claims for you and advocate for higher reimbursement rates on your behalf. We work with PPO and POS plans.

I find it is essential to consider how a person's unique lived experiences, cultural background and exposure to trauma, oppression and discrimination contribute to the problems and concerns one is facing.
