Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of New York, and earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 2012. I have a total of 6 years counseling experience during which I have worked with a wide variety of individuals, including those dealing with issues of substance abuse, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, mood disorders, and psychotic disorders.
My counseling style is a combination of warm and empathetic, along with tactful honesty and accountability. I believe in mutual respect and compassion. I encourage my clients to be honest with me and if something is not working, to speak up and tell me. I believe in allowing my clients to take ownership of their therapy and gain skills in advocating for themselves. I also believe in understanding the human condition of imperfection and the idea that we all make mistakes. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, psycho-education, motivational interviewing, and humanistic treatment approaches.
It takes a great amount of courage to ask for help. I know how healing it is to tell your story and to really begin to have an understanding of where our struggles originated. I also know the healing power of knowing that we have control and the ability to move forward and find solutions for our lives. My goal is to help empower you to improve what is working well for you and give you the tools to help change what is not working for you.
I look forward to starting this new journey with you!

Many people want to know whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, remote therapy has been found to be comparably effective to traditional in-person care.
One key benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Another advantage is continuity of care: licensed professionals provide treatment remotely, and if a different therapeutic fit is desired at any time, clients can switch therapists. For many people, that combination of accessibility and professional support makes online therapy a practical option for addressing everyday mental health needs.
