I am licensed in New York with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I have dedicated several years of counseling to serving adults dealing with addiction, mental health issues, and co-occurring disorders. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to understand the root of frustration, anger, anxiety, sadness, etc. Understanding the root of a difficulty can help gain insight, unlocking doors to a healthy life.

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.
