I am a New York State Licensed Mental Health Therapist with a background in trauma and teen violence. I am passionate about working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life-transitions in a collaborative way to help to move them towards self-betterment. I tend to integrate techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and strength-based therapy based on client needs. I collaborate with my clients to identify plans and treatment goals to ensure that their true desires are being met throughout therapy. I am an active listener and tend to validate, reframe, and provide emotional support as needed. I am also very warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I tend to be intentional about acknowledging opportunities to point outgrowth and strength. I’ll help you explore practical coping skills and discover your hidden strengths. You’re taking an important step towards a better future. Our first session is a chance for you to share why you’re seeking therapy and help me get to know you better. We’ll discuss treatment expectations, confidentiality, and how I can best help you. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
