- LMHC
As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationships, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing women's issues, life transitions, and multicultural concerns with compassion and cultural sensitivity.
My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on empowering individuals to develop self-love, improve communication, and overcome barriers to personal fulfillment. I have extensive expertise in supporting clients through diverse experiences, including workplace stress, family dynamics, trauma recovery, and life purpose exploration.
I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I strive to create a supportive, affirming environment where clients can explore their emotions, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you navigate your path toward healing and self-discovery.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
