Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in New York

About My Clients

Are you always a little anxious and afraid? You find yourself stuck in your own mind, replaying the same situations over and over. You feel unseen, lost, and alone in your relationships. Anxiety is creeping up on you all the time, and your trauma gets triggered again and again. You feel helpless and you need out NOW. It's a lonely place to be, but you don't have to suffer alone. That's where I come in. I will help you learn tools to get your life back.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in relationships, trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD. I like to meet you where you're at, and together we'll dig deep, set goals tailored to your unique needs, and learn new ways to overcome the obstacles in your life. I'll help you explore the reasons why you might be feeling stuck and help you process what is going on for you now. Through evidence-based approaches, I will teach you tools that you can carry around with you at all times. So no matter where you go, you'll always have access to discreet exercises that can quickly create relief. Together, we’ll transform your struggles into opportunities for personal growth.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I firmly believe that every individual has the innate capacity to grow, evolve, and create positive change in their lives. Our racial, ethnic, or social backgrounds do not determine our potential for growth; rather, they shape our unique experiences and perspectives, which are just one piece of the puzzle. The behaviors and patterns we develop are often learned from others or influenced by our life circumstances — experiences that may shape how we think, feel, and act. However, I believe that through exploration, self-reflection, and the acquisition of new skills and tools, we can break free from unhelpful patterns and make empowered choices that align with who we truly want to be. Change is possible, and I'm here to help you facilitate the change you want in your life!
