- LCSW
I am licensed in New York with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have worked in the child welfare arena where I provided counseling to children, adolescents and their families around abandonment, trauma, abuse, neglect and the gamut of emotions that surround that population. I have also provided therapy to mothers who have involvement in the child welfare system. Beyond that, I have provided therapy for young adults trying to navigate life and develop a successful plan for their future. I have counseled adults with depression, anxiety and concerns around self-esteem and self-love. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.
