As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over a decade of dedicated experience supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional journey is rooted in compassionate, evidence-based care, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, anger management, and mood disorders.
I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership, believing that each person carries inherent strength and resilience. My practice centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their challenges, develop meaningful coping strategies, and cultivate personal growth.
My therapeutic approach integrates multiple evidence-based techniques, tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. I am committed to walking alongside my clients, offering empathetic guidance and professional support as they work towards healing and emotional well-being.
Through years of clinical experience, I've developed a deep understanding of the intricate ways emotional challenges intersect with personal experiences. My goal is to empower clients, helping them build self-awareness, emotional regulation skills, and pathways to sustainable mental health.

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.
