- LCSW
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, I have a passion for helping individuals from diverse backgrounds navigate life's challenges and complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients develop resilience and self-understanding, particularly for those experiencing depression, anxiety, workplace challenges, and life transitions.
My approach is deeply rooted in empowerment and cultural sensitivity. I create a compassionate space where clients can explore communication patterns, address feelings of isolation, and reconnect with their sense of purpose. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support individuals in building self-esteem, developing effective coping strategies, and cultivating meaningful personal growth.
With my experience working with diverse populations, I am committed to providing affirming, personalized care that honors each client's unique journey. My goal is to walk alongside you as you discover inner strength, build healthier relationships, and create positive change in your life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.
