About

I am a licensed mental health provider in the state of New York. I work with clients with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also help many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, rational-emotive counseling, motivational, and solution-focused therapy.
