As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over a decade of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging life experiences, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and trauma recovery.
I am deeply committed to understanding each person's unique journey, offering a supportive approach that honors individual spiritual and emotional needs. My therapeutic work focuses on healing attachment wounds, addressing feelings of isolation and loneliness, and supporting clients in developing healthier relational patterns.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a warm, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences, process difficult emotions, and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. My approach integrates psychological insights with a compassionate understanding of human resilience, helping clients move toward greater emotional well-being and personal empowerment.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
