I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist in New York. I have been working online and in private practice for over 14 years. I help individuals, couples, families, and groups. I am effective in dealing with issues related to PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress, transitions, life skills, disabilities, career goals, military life, family, marital and couples struggles, etc. I am glad that you've made the first step by reaching out for help. I want you to know that this is a safe place where you can be open and talk without the fear of judgment.
My counseling style is eclectic and tailored to your situation and what works best for you. I am empathetic, compassionate, and caring about your overall well-being. I offer workable therapeutic goals and specialize in person-centered, family systems, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused therapy methods.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
