This was my first time ever taking therapy and I was quite nervous at first, but those feelings quickly melted away. At the end of each session Laura left me with a sense of belonging and care. I felt a bit more comfortable with myself each time knowing there is someone I can let myself out. It was very nice how she would also open up and talk about herself because I wanted to learn about my therapist too. She would also use easy to understand language and always take the time to explain and give examples which is something that is especially helpful since English is not my first language.

I am a New York State licensed PhD Psychologist with more than 25 years’ experience in the public and private sectors. My doctorate in Psychology is from Fordham University and I have a post-doctoral degree in Speech and Language Pathology from Columbia University .
I specialize in working with a diverse population of adults with mild reading or language-based difficulties and those with severe learning disorders. Often self esteem and anxiety in applying for jobs or maintaining employment can go hand in hand. My practice incorporates collaborating with the clients to turn key ideas.
I also have expertise in guiding young adult students who will be immigrating to the US and/or spending time abroad and the stressors involved in this. I am very knowledgeable on relaxation techniques as well as mindfulness. I can help you to incorporate strategies to reduce anxiety and get to the tasks that need to be accomplished!
I enjoy helping individuals find motivation within themselves to push their career choices forward and be successful. Building of time management and executive functioning skills is a key component for success in school and on the job. My goal is to work together with the clients to identify the steps needed to build these areas in order to reach one's school and work goals.
I am a person centered psychologist with a warm and compassionate style. Together we will work to navigate the process.
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. Ranging from $60 to $90 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.
