With 19 years of combined experience in counseling and college guidance, I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate their personal and academic journeys. For the past 4 years, as a licensed mental health counselor in New York, I have specialized in personal counseling, offering support tailored to the unique challenges and aspirations of each client. Prior to that, I dedicated over 15 years to college counseling, guiding students through the intricacies of higher education decisions and empowering them to reach their academic and career goals.
I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you.

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.
