- LCSW
I am an LCSW therapist licensed New York State. I have 9 years of professional work experience. I have worked in publicly funded mental health clinics, as well as substance abuse treatment communities.
I have experience in helping a wide range of clients, from children to adults, couples and families, with a wide range of metal health presentations. I have partnered with clients to improve their issues with stress, anxiety, relationships, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and trying to understand their unique experience.
I will strategize our discussions and treatment plan to your unique and specific needs. Making the first more towards therapy can be daunting. I am proud of your courage in 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.
