Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a dedicated Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York with over 15 years of experience working in combined fields. I specialize in working with children and adults with special needs, individually and with their families, adults with struggles in a variety of areas including general mental health, registered sex offenders, depression, stress and anxiety disorders, general relationship challenges, self esteem and confidence building. I also help families with children both diagnosed and pre diagnosed on the autism spectrum. I work one on one with the children utilizing an intervention known as Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and also conducting therapy with the parents and caregivers as they navigate the very difficult emotional and life changing transition that comes with such a diagnosis within the family.
My therapy approach comes from a place of compassion where one of my main goals is making sure my client feel as supported, heard and empowered as possible. Therapy is not a one size fits all and the approach used with each client individually should reflect this. I help each client articulate their thoughts and feelings in order to get a better understanding of what is causing the depression/anxiety/stress/unhappiness. I approach therapy from an integrative perspective, taking interest in the clients cultural background and experiences and tailoring a therapeutic modality that is the best fit for them. This incorporates facets of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, A Strength Based Perspective, Behavior Modification, Solution Focused, Rational Emotive, Psychodynamic and Narrative Therapy Approaches.
Just like therapy, healing is also not a one size fits all and I understand that making the first steps into therapy, and towards that healing, may have been a difficult decision and I applaud your courage for making that first step. With your desire for change and my commitment to support and empower you, we will navigate a pace that works best for you to strengthen all aspects of your body and mind and the connection they have to each other.
I look forward to working with you.

For many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care. Research and clinical practice have shown that virtual sessions often deliver comparable outcomes for these types of issues.
One major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to maintain regular care alongside work, family, and other commitments.
Another advantage is access to licensed professionals who provide clinical guidance and can be changed if a different therapeutic fit is preferred. This adaptability helps people find the right therapist and format for their needs without being limited to local office hours or locations.
Overall, online therapy offers a practical, accessible option for addressing common mental health and relationship concerns while allowing clients to engage in treatment from settings that work best for them.
