“I value individual connections, family connections, and helping others and I believe that my background and passion will allow me to help you navigate life transitions and stressors.”
What was your path to becoming a therapist?
Ever since I can remember, I have had a passion for helping and connecting with people. After 10 years of working as a school counselor in the New York City school system, I decided to leave and focus solely on therapy. Although I loved working with children and families in an educational setting, I wanted to do more. I value individual connections, family connections, and helping others and I believe that my background and passion will allow me to help you navigate life transitions and stressors.
What should someone know about working with you?
I have an eclectic and collaborative style and I am committed to providing compassionate, practical, and action-oriented therapy. I listen to my clients with an empathetic and nonjudgmental ear and provide warm and direct feedback. Together, we will manage stressors, improve relationships, and facilitate personal growth. I strive to help support my clients in working on whatever they feel is necessary to live their best life.
What do you do to continue learning and building competencies as a provider?
I read, collaborate with other therapists, and attend workshops.
What are you most excited about within the evolving mental health landscape?
Due to the COVID pandemic, there is a stronger need for increased compassion and empathy in order to support others through mental health concerns and barriers to care. Although everyone’s experience is unique, immense uncertainty has been a shared global experience, making mental health services increasingly urgent. Teletherapy has made treatment more accessible, which is exciting to me.
