I am a licensed social worker in New York. I began my career in a substance abuse treatment setting. I also have experience in the substance abuse prevention field, in mental health treatment, and in the developmental service system delivering mental health counseling, and counseling through an employee assistance program. I have helped people with trauma issues, domestic violence issues, mood disorders, women's issues and relationship issues. I believe in each person's ability to tap into their strengths and improve their lives in the directions they choose.

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.
