As a licensed therapist serving New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients through transformative healing, with particular expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and trauma recovery.
My approach is deeply compassionate and culturally responsive, honoring each person's unique journey. I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore challenging emotions, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help individuals work through stress, family conflicts, and life transitions with understanding and strategic guidance.
My therapeutic work focuses on critical areas including self-love, communication skills, life purpose exploration, healing from shame and guilt, and supporting young adults through significant personal challenges. I believe in a collaborative approach that centers your strengths and supports your individual path toward emotional wellness.

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.
