As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe that everyone needs a safe space and trusted person to share their personal struggles. My style of counseling focuses on the counselor client relationship. Using person centered approaches, I provide a safe space, where we as counselor and client develop a rapport, so you feel heard and understood. Once a trusting rapport is established, I will work with you at your own pace, through the stages of change, to help you accomplish your goals and achieve overall wellness.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Queens College and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. John’s University. During my final year at St. John’s University, I interned at the PAC Program of Queens. During my internship, I worked with clients who struggled with substance abuse, anxiety, anger management and domestic violence.

I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, believing it is the foundation of effective therapy. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can freely explore your concerns. I take pride in utilizing active listening, empathy, and unconditional positive regard to build trust and rapport. I embrace an eclectic approach that draws from various therapeutic modalities to meet the unique needs of each client. My approach is founded on the belief that individuals are complex, and a one-size-fits-all method may not capture the richness of their experiences. I integrate elements from humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives, tailoring my interventions to the specific challenges and strengths of each individual.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor's degree in Psychology from CUNY Baruch College. I have experience in the Family Treatment and Rehabilitation Program in child welfare. I worked extensively with families grappling with mental health and substance abuse challenges. This experience has given me profound insights into the intricate dynamics of healing journeys. My commitment lies in translating this understanding into impactful therapeutic interventions, fostering growth and well-being for individuals and families in need. Prior to my residency at The Soho Center, I completed my practicum, working with a diverse range of individuals, including minorities, children, adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I provided support for issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, marital issues, substance abuse, and more. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at Baruch College.

Everyone experiences life challenges and stressors, creating overwhelming emotions and behavioral patterns. Therapy is your first step toward gaining greater insight into your life. The therapeutic relationship will assist in exploring how you relate to others and the world.

I strive to create a therapeutic experience that is safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative. The development of an honest and trustworthy alliance will allow us to achieve your goals toward healing and change. We will work on reducing any negative symptoms you may be experiencing, implementing positive coping skills, and building upon your preexisting strengths to allow for personal growth and development.

I received a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Brooklyn College, where I was trained in Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic Psychotherapy. I draw from these techniques to provide individualized care to all of my clients. My previous experience is in working with individuals struggling with substance abuse and dual diagnoses. This experience developed my passion to understand the whole being and meet clients where they are on their journey toward self-exploration.

Life can be overwhelming and most of us do not have the space or the support we need to cope with life challenges. As a therapist, I provide a safe space for clients to engage in the process of self-discovery. I put a lot of emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as I believe this relationship is the catalyst for change. I like to meet clients where they are at while providing the support and structure they need. I consider myself to be emphatic, honest and non-judgmental. I strive to provide my clients with compassionate and high-quality counseling.

I have experience working with clients from different age groups and diverse ethnic background attending therapy for an array of issues such as mood disturbances, depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, domestic violence, trauma, stress, life transitions, and anger issues. The approach and techniques I use in therapy are based on the needs of the client. Most commonly used approaches are CBT, family systems therapy, play/art therapies, and humanistic approach. I also conduct therapy in the Spanish language for those clients in need of a bilingual therapist.
