Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC Specialties • Insurance & Fees • LocationsI am a licensed mental health counselor in NY and NJ. I work with adults experiencing a range of challenges, particularly anxiety, life transitions, family difficulties, stress, relationship issues, depression, and grief/loss. I help my clients utilize their strengths to increase their self-awareness in order to work on the areas that are holding them back. My goal is to provide a safe and empathetic place where clients can speak openly and make space for better understanding themselves and what is most important to them.
I combine the depth of psychodynamic therapy and integrate other evidence-based approaches, depending on the client's needs. I strive to help clients identify the narratives that keep them from living a fulfilled life and build a stronger sense of self. I am also adept in working with family of origin issues, hybrid identities, and first-generation complexities.
I earned my master's degree in mental health counseling in 2014. My experiences range from working in private practice and community based clinics.
