As a licensed therapist in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical focus centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma-related experiences. I have developed expertise in working with individuals struggling with social isolation, communication difficulties, and panic-related symptoms.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate and collaborative, designed to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for emotional wellness. I understand that each person's journey is unique, and I'm committed to providing personalized, empathetic care that honors individual strengths and resilience.
I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients build emotional skills, improve interpersonal connections, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Whether you're experiencing persistent stress, relationship challenges, or working through past traumatic experiences, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with understanding and professional guidance.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
