- LMHC
As a licensed therapist serving New York, I bring 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients to navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and self-esteem development.
I specialize in addressing diverse life experiences, with a particular focus on women's issues, workplace challenges, communication barriers, and healing from interpersonal trauma. My approach honors each client's unique journey, creating a compassionate space for exploring personal growth, social connections, and emotional resilience.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients in developing deeper self-understanding, confronting isolation, and rediscovering personal purpose. Whether you're managing panic symptoms, processing relationship transitions, or seeking to strengthen emotional wellness, I'm committed to walking alongside you with culturally responsive and affirming care.

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.
