- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of New York. I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliance Graduate School of Counseling and trained extensively at Focus on Solutions, a private practice. I also received my training at Mental Health Association of New York City, a local and nationwide crisis resource for individuals, friends, and family members. There, I gained experience in training of employees, teaching, and speaking and went on to train professional counselors and leaders at another large counseling service as well.
I have counseling experience in relational work, depression, anxiety, suicide, crisis intervention, premarital counseling, communication, cultural identity, self-image, parenting and family work. I am trained as a PREPARE/ENRICH Facilitator to equip individuals dating or considering marriage, as well as trained in ASIST - Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training.
I bring an energy to therapy that makes clients feel they are seen and belong and this matters to me. I genuinely believe that the clients I see have the capability to create beautiful, long-lasting change. I listen and help identify patterns from the past and present while creating space for the client’s story to truly understand the issue. I believe in using client-centered, and systemic approaches to see the whole of a person in the context of their relationships. I use Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused, Emotion Focused, Internal Family Systems, Strategic, Structural and Intergenerational modalities of therapy.
I am warm, compassionate, honest, intuitive and have years of experience to meet the client where they are. I see it as an honor to hold your pain or joy as I journey with you through a life enriching experience. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
