- LCSW-R
As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over three decades of professional experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and significant life transitions with compassion and expertise.
I specialize in addressing men's issues, workplace dynamics, and young adult challenges. My approach centers on exploring themes of purpose, identity, and personal growth—particularly for individuals experiencing isolation, guilt, shame, or feelings of emptiness. I'm deeply committed to supporting clients through midlife transitions, fatherhood complexities, and personal development journeys.
My therapeutic work emphasizes understanding individual experiences, building self-esteem, and developing meaningful coping strategies. I create a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, confront personal barriers, and cultivate resilience. Whether you're struggling with career difficulties, relationship dynamics, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with professional guidance and genuine care.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
