MHC-LP

I support adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity exploration, and life transitions. I offer therapy that feels thoughtful, affirming, and grounded—where you can explore challenges at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.

My approach is collaborative and culturally responsive. I strive to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and develop greater emotional balance in their daily lives.

Who I Support

I support:

• Adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

• Individuals processing trauma and difficult past experiences

• Individuals exploring identity, self-esteem, and personal growth

• Adolescents and adults experiencing life transitions and adjustment-related stress

• LGBTQ+ individuals seeking affirming and supportive care

My Approach

I use an integrative, client-centered approach tailored to each client's needs, drawing from evidence-based practices, including:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns

• Narrative Therapy to help clients explore and reframe personal experiences

• Mindfulness-based strategies to support emotional awareness and regulation

My style is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. Together, we focus on building insight and practical tools that support long-term emotional well-being.

Education & Professional Status

• I hold a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University and a Master of Science in Psychology from Mercy College.

• I practice under clinical supervision in accordance with New York State regulations. Ongoing supervision supports ethical, high-quality care and helps ensure you receive thoughtful, client-centered treatment while your privacy remains protected.

Outside the Therapy Room

Outside of sessions, I enjoy reflective writing, creative expression, and spending quality time with loved ones. I value balance and intentional self-reflection, which help me stay grounded and present in my work with clients.
