Hi, my name is Katy!
Are you struggling in communicating with one or several members of your family? Are you having a hard time interacting with your teenager? Or do you have other life struggles that need a helping hand?
For 9 years I have been working with families & individuals to improve their lives and interactions with each other. While I often do see the whole family, being a trained Family Therapist, I also enjoy the opportunities to meet with individual members of the family and find out how their needs are not getting met. Oftentimes individuals don’t feel as though they are being listened to in their families or in relationships. I specifically have expertise to offer parents who are struggling with the right approach to parenting and am eager to offer empathetic solutions. With others, I am comfortable working on communication skills and how to nurture difficult relationships. When I meet with individuals I have an empathetic ear, a warm approach and am available to problem solve as needed.
I have worked with clients using Family Therapy, Play Therapy, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic therapies, and Internal Family Systems. Because of my experience with family therapy, I am used to thinking quickly on my feet and am not shy about using out-of-the-box approaches to solve complex issues. I won’t give up until we have worked through a resolution together!
I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in New York and have been working in outpatient Community Mental Health for 8 years. I look forward to serving you through online counseling.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
