I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing psychotherapy to adults in New York.

I hold a Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College Columbia University and a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Prior to a career in therapy, I worked in nonprofit and educational settings managing creative arts programs, so I also take great pleasure in helping clients immersed in creative professions and endeavors.

Many clients come to therapy because they’ve reached a roadblock in their lives. I work with each person together, to help go beyond that impasse. Sometimes, it is helping to clarify and act on goals. Other times, there may be the need to understand one’s past before formulating a plan. A client who feels their therapist is there to work together and support their decisions, is more likely to achieve their goals. I work actively with each client to help them reach a happier place.

I offer an emphatic approach, based on realistic expectations with achievable goals tailored for each individual. I work collaboratively, able to readily offer my ideas and suggestions as benefits the client. I believe in continuous evaluation of therapy’s progress. I work with families and children and am experienced in play therapy.

Coming for therapy is the first step in moving forward. I believe in helping my clients in their personal, and unique growth. Asking for help, I believe, is beginning your path to empowerment, and getting your life back on track.
