I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist in New York. I have been working online and in private practice for over 14 years. I help individuals, couples, families, and groups. I am effective in dealing with issues related to PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress, transitions, life skills, disabilities, career goals, military life, family, marital and couples struggles, etc. I am glad that you've made the first step by reaching out for help. I want you to know that this is a safe place where you can be open and talk without the fear of judgment.
My counseling style is eclectic and tailored to your situation and what works best for you. I am empathetic, compassionate, and caring about your overall well-being. I offer workable therapeutic goals and specialize in person-centered, family systems, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused therapy methods.
During the therapeutic process, I can help you organize your thoughts and sort things out so that you can ease your emotional distress and work towards overcoming your life struggles. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage. I am proud of you for getting started!

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.
