With a background as a board-certified health and wellness coach, my therapy approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, all through a holistic, person-centered philosophy. I am particularly excited to support the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities in their journeys towards optimal functioning and self understanding.

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Women’s and Gender Studies at the College of Charleston, and am pursuing a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Teachers College at Columbia University. I have worked with a diverse range of clients with both mental and physical health conditions, at every age and phase of life.

I know how much courage it takes to reach out for help. I strive to cultivate an affirming, judgement-free space where you can share your full self and engage in the healing experience of connection. Whatever your goals are, we will explore your strengths and work together to get you there.

Hi and nice to meet you! I am a devoted and passionate mental health clinician. My approach includes active and empathetic listening and understanding where you are at, and challenging you in an honest, direct, and non-judgmental manner. I practice with earnest and genuine care. Therapy sessions with me are collaborative, flexible, and creative. I will hold the space for your stories and emotions, and I am also active in the room, ready to offer insights and feedback. I also encourage you to design your own paths of growth. Therapy is a process of exploring our internal world and understanding how we interact with the external world. In this process, I hope to use my knowledge and skills to facilitate your learning about who you are authentically, and to make connections between presenting issues and the roots. You and I will build a unique therapeutic relationship. The relationship will serve as the foundation of the process of working hard and confronting difficult memories and emotions.

I am a queer, international, and Millennial therapist. I can provide a genuine environment of understanding and a unique lens of insight. I am also a Mandarin speaker and I can provide psychotherapy in Mandarin, English or in both for bilingual clients. I work primarily with adults- individuals of LGBTQ and individuals with international backgrounds. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, insecurity, relationship & family conflict, grief and loss, rejection, perfectionism, disordered eating, obsession compulsions, feelings of inadequacy, stigma, prejudice, and marginalization.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Applied Psychology, and my Master of Art in Mental Health Counseling from New York University. My past experiences in research on culture and parenting, and clinical work with psychoeducation groups both continue to benefit my current work with my clients.

I take an integrative, client-centered approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs, experiences, and goals. My work draws from a range of evidence-based modalities, including humanistic, psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed approaches.
I believe that many of the patterns, coping strategies, and protective mechanisms we develop early in life serve an important purpose, helping us navigate difficult experiences and environments. As adults, however, some of these same patterns may no longer support the life we want to live. Together, we work to understand these longstanding dynamics with curiosity and compassion, while creating space for new ways of relating to ourselves and others.

My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and curious. I strive to create an affirming, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore challenges and vulnerabilities. At the same time, I believe growth often requires honest reflection and, when appropriate, gentle challenge. I also value the role of humor in the therapeutic process and find that it can be a powerful tool for building connection, fostering perspective, and supporting healing.

I work with adults, couples, and adolescents, with a particular focus on supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community. My goal is to help clients deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and make meaningful, lasting changes aligned with their values.

I am a fully licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York State and a board-certified National Certified Counselor (NCC). I am also currently pursuing certification as a sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).

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.

It is my belief that every person, from all walks of life, has their own struggles with mental health. Therapy can be utilized to help us become more self-aware and as a result be more self-sufficient. I take a psychodynamic approach in which I work with you to dive deep into the psychological roots of your emotional processes. In other words, I help you develop a deeper understanding of your emotional and mental well-being. 

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York, fluent in English and Arabic. I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Hofstra University, and soon after went on to earn a master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at SUNY College of Old Westbury. I had the opportunity to complete a clinical internship at Rikers Island working with the incarcerated population. Working with such a complex and diverse population not only allowed me to learn the true value of therapy but, that therapy truly works best when customized to the needs of the individual.

I aim to work with clients with the goal of creating an individualized treatment plan that helps to focus and improve on the areas of their life that may be lacking or in disarray. I have extensive experience working with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, personality disorders, mood disorders, as well as trauma and issues surrounding culture/diversity.
