More about me

Licensing: LCSW-R, ACSW Years in Practice: 15 State: New York

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York for 21 years and have practiced as psychotherapist for 15 years. I have worked with clients with a broad range of concerns, including; depression, anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, poor communication, bipolar disorder, child abuse, grief/loss, learning disabilities, school related issues, parenting issues, PTSD, personality disorders, & stress management.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and trauma informed treatment. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

I've only had one video call with Ian and a few messages here and there, but already I feel very comfortable with him. He's been very professional, but very down to earth. I appreciate his genuine personality and laid back attitude, it makes everything much easier to talk about.
