Hello, I am a licensed Mental health counselor based in New York State. I help people with difficulty with authority adjust to the invalidating environment in a way that they can show up for themselves. I approach therapy in a straightforward and understandable manner. In addition to being supportive and affirming, my therapy is skill-based and will teach you how to handle difficult situations, transform your emotions through action, increase your awareness without judgment, and thrive in relationships.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first sessions I would like to go over what experiences have led you to therapy as well as your past experiences in therapy. I would like to learn how you view therapy and why it is important to start now. I would also like to know about your goals and expectations for therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Working with children and adults who have difficulty trusting authority and society in general for 5 years, I have built strong connections with my clients even when it was difficult to trust a counselor. If you're considering leaving someone in your life rather than taking the risk of trusting them, I believe my approach would be helpful for you.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My ideal client is someone who is looking for ways to cope with anxiety and depression. I find that many of my successful clients have had mixed feelings about starting therapy and I like to point out that therapy is difficult even if you have a great provider. I encourage my clients to develop short-term goals that range from practicing skills to finding ways to practice trusting others to taking moments to self-validate. A great deal of therapy involves understanding your life patterns and beliefs about safety, self-esteem, control, and feeling close to others. My aim is to show you where to look, but not to tell you what to see.
