Our childhood, history, and personal myths about ourselves are powerful forces that have the ability to shape our interpersonal relationships and behaviors; worldview and ourselves. At some point, we all have experiences, challenges or life altering experiences that will have the ability to change our trajectory, bring us to a cross road or that will challenge our core beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Through my work with individuals, families and couples I have enjoyed helping others to navigate these obstacles in order to transform these adverse experiences into opportunities of growth.

I have been working with individuals who experience family conflicts, behavioral issues, parenting concerns, substance use, infertility issues, and more, for the past 10 years.

I worked with an intensive family program (HCBS Waiver) that focused on youths with severe emotional and behavioral issues for 5 years. I also have a Masters Degree in School Counseling, which has given me vast knowledge in CSE proceedings, educational laws, and academic requirements.

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." - C.G. Jung. The process of self-reflection can both be illuminating and freeing. By shining the light of awareness on that which is unknown, you are on the path to personal growth and unlocking your innate potential. Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed? Do you desire balance within your own being? Or as if you are merely existing rather than living the life you truly wish? Taking the first step and reaching out for help is truly an exercise in courage.

A Deaf Licensed Social Worker. Currently serving the state of New York. Navigating life's challenges is never easy, but reaching out for help is a brave first step to living a more genuine and fulfilling life. I have expertise in working with individuals struggling with childhood trauma and trauma-related symptoms such as grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational conflict. I believe every person is unique and deserves to be listened to and understood in an empathetic way. I am passionate about creating a safe, kind, collaborative and judgment-free space where you can attain new insights, experience new feelings.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience in psychotherapy. In therapy I promote an environment where all your thoughts and feelings are not only acceptable, but encouraged to be expressed, and where you will be understood without judgment. Through our work together we will identify and resolve unhelpful thoughts and memories that may be leading to unhealthy feelings and behaviors. It is my hope that you'll walk away from our sessions more self-aware, suffering less and more capable of improving the dynamics of your relationships.

Finding someone who truly recognizes the unique nature of your struggles can be challenging. I believe that effective therapy must be tailored to the individual as there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all method of counseling. My approach recognizes that the strength of the therapeutic bond is a prerequisite for meaningful change to occur. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal strife, or trauma, I will take every effort to make you feel safe, supported, and heard.

Have you ever experienced an event that completely changed your view of the world? Do you feel afraid, alone and unsure of where to turn? Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts, when you least expect it or even nightmares? Trauma has lasting physical and emotional effects that can leave you tired, jumpy, anxious, feeling ashamed, exposed, insecure and wondering who you can trust. Do you find yourself wondering why you haven't found the love you want in your relationships? Do you believe no matter what you say or do for your significant other, it's never the "right thing" or "good enough"?

You are a beautiful human with the ability to take control of your life and live in a way that is meaningful to you. Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, troubled relationships and whatever other struggles you are facing don't define you. You can learn to grow if you get out of your own way and give yourself the chance. In order to change, support is imperative. Support is where I come in. I pride myself in providing my clients with a warm, empathetic environment that encourages them to look within and build upon the strength thats already there to help them reach their fullest potential. Your goals are my goals!

Clients can expect to work towards changing negative thought patterns, challenging maladaptive views, and learning more about themselves through their therapy. In this process, clients can learn what promotes negative thoughts and emotions, and learn how to reduce, manage, and make sense of these mental health concerns.

My passion and interest is in people, their stories, their struggles and their triumphs. This has led me to my mission to help people create the life they have always wanted. I passionately believe that the key of being a good therapist/counselor/coach/mentor is not to help people be something they’re not... but it’s to help people become more of who they really are!

For all of us at different times, life presents its challenges. You may be seeking direction about your career, a mid-life crisis, raising children, worklife, elderly parents or grief. Therapy is about becoming your best self and learning skills to deal with those challenges. Often, sharing our feelings with an objective person who is a concerned listener, can change how we see a situation. I have extensive experience working with students of all ages, those who are neurotypical and those who neurodivergent, children of alcoholics and those who have experienced adverse childhoods. Parents and married couples also come to my practice
