About

Congratulations for taking this initial step

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with over a decade of experience helping adults work through anxiety, trauma, grief, and spiritual exhaustion. My approach blends evidence-based methods (CBT, ACT, EMDR, IFS, Schema, Polyvagal) with insights from Positive Psychology—especially its focus on strengths, meaning, and virtue. Therapy with me is honest, reflective, and practical. We slow down enough to notice what’s really happening inside you, make sense of old wounds, and build the habits of mind and heart that foster resilience. Clients describe our work as equal parts insight and action—anchored in deep respect for the human person and the quiet hope that renewal is possible. While I don’t impose faith, I work from a worldview that honors dignity, conscience, and growth. I believe healing often begins when we stop running from our pain and learn to meet it with clarity, courage, and grace. If you feel stuck but sense there’s more to become, I’d be honored to walk with you.
