Whether you're facing a crisis, struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, or are feeling stuck in patterns that are holding you back, you don't have to go through it alone. Our work begins wherever you're at. I have extensive experience treating children, adolescents and adults with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, chronic illness, behavioral challenges, ADHD,relationship issues, and challenges adjusting to life changes. We’ll explore your emotional patterns, relationships, and the ways you respond to difficult thoughts and feelings—so you can build flexibility, resilience, and lasting change.

In life, we all experience challenges. Sometimes all you need is extra support and someone to help guide you through difficult times. If you are experiencing anxiety, fears, stress, anger, depression, adjustment issues, relationship issues, or loss of a loved one, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Therapy can be a powerful next step toward your healing and growth. I am a NY Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a NJ Licensed Professional Counselor. I provide therapy in person at my office in Staten Island and virtually in a private space.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a doctorate in psychology and 20 years of experience working with adults and seniors, including people navigating ADHD, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and major life transitions. My approach is faith-informed: I integrate a Christian worldview into my clinical work for clients who want that, and I offer a secular, evidence-based framework for those who don't. Either way, I take the whole person seriously — not just the symptom. I completed brain health training through the Amen Clinic, which has meaningfully shaped how I think about ADHD and cognitive health in older adults. I'm also a published author: my 2019 book came out of doctoral research on fear, dementia, and the aging mind.

Change for the better begins here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over twenty years of experience helping individuals, college students, and couples lead healthier and more fulfilling lives. I provide premarital and marital counseling and work with concerns such as anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, depression, loss, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely accepted, supported, and understood as we begin the healing process together.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 40 years of clinical experience. My career has been dedicated to serving marginalized communities and individuals grappling with co-occurring disorders, depression, and anxiety. I am a Big Black Beautiful Bohemian Bougie Buddhist Butch, and I bring that entire authentic self to our work. I believe in talk therapy as a tool for political and personal warfare—an act of self-preservation that allows you to thrive despite societal obstacles.
