- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work in New York with 17+ years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with trauma and abuse, parenting issues, relationship issues, foster care, adoption, abandonment, sexual abuse & anger management. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I think that we all have the power within ourselves to ensure that we live our best lives. I truly believe that we do not get well by getting over, we MUST go through - we have to walk the path towards inner happiness and fulfillment, and along the way, we have to feel. Sometimes we have to feel pain, sadness, and loneliness and remember that there will be light at the end of the tunnel. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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.
