I am licensed in New York with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients of all ages with addiction, PTSD, depression, stress/anxiety, grief/loss, motivation, self-esteem, and family work. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.
