Skeptical? Good! The therapeutic relationship and experience of your counselor should be taken seriously. If you are courageous enough to seek support; do your homework, find a good fit and be cautious of snake oil and shortcuts. You know more about your experience than anyone. Be open, trust your gut. Trailhead. I require a free 15-minute call to ensure we are a good fit. If not, I will provide recommendations or referral to get you to the most helpful resource. Best part of my work. I enjoy working with clients who have been through challenging times and keep fighting the voice that undermines their accomplishments, goals and aspirations. Like a great deal of my colleagues – I find this privileged, difficult and honorable work. I value diversity. My career allowed me to interact with everyone and anyone – I am more interesting and compassionate because of it. Training and Experience. On paper, I am a master's prepared social worker, seasoned as a licensed clinical social worker and have 20 years of experience empowering individuals, professionals and systems in the criminal justice, government, and healthcare sectors. I am a University at Buffalo School of Social Work alum from back in the day. I am a dad and husband. I am passionate, warm, ambiverted, sometimes grumpy, professional. I do not have a brand. Raised on hip hop, straight edge hardcore and skateboarding. I found my education and profession by accident. When I’m down and feel like an imposter, I remember this. The rest I found in pain, love, and my own therapy. Enough about me, let's find what is important to you! Approaches Mindfulness based: most generally, exercises and a practice on awareness of your senses. Simple and radically transforming. This approach is unique, flexible and backed by research and measurable outcomes. It’s accessible, experiential, and highly rewarding. I view this approach as mind hacks to get around the junk in your head and drop back into your body. Trauma informed: incorporating evidenced based practices, common courtesy and acknowledgment that all of us have experienced hurts in some form. It is a way to embody and practice a non-pathologizing approach that honors your past while being grounded in the present. Systems oriented: life in context gives us freedom to understand ourselves and accurately place the hurt of our experiences back where they belong. Internal Family Systems has impacted my practice and personal growth.

Life can get really tough sometimes and I think we all need a place to come and just BE REAL with another person. Vent feelings, share thoughts that one is not really comfortable sharing with close friends and family, just lay it all out however messy. ABOUT ME: I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both California and New York with over 15 years in the field. I got my Masters degree in Integral Counseling Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA in 2008. My areas of study was Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and Creative Arts Therapy. I believe that finding the right match with a therapist is crucial. It’s like dating, you have to keep looking until you find some chemistry, a click, and feel like the person really gets you. I work primarily with individuals and unfortunately am not accepting couples into my practice at this time. I build resilience by teaching skills to manage anxiety, depression, life's ups and downs, be it learning to be kinder to yourself or learning to manage feelings when relationships change. My style of therapy is warm, compassionate, honest, and direct. I welcome your mess. We can sort through the piles together and see if we can't come out with some gold.
When you have been at a low point for so long, it’s easy to be convinced that’s all there is. Instead of focusing on the negative, I look for strengths that will help you deal with challenges. We will also celebrate small victories. Sessions are full of high energy, enthusiasm, laughter, and positivity to motivate and pump you up. The focus is on what you do right and how you can believe in yourself again to be what you want. My office is a judgment-free zone. I will ask questions, listen intently, provide perspective, and give feedback. All to help you move forward. I understand you may feel uncomfortable with the idea of talking about yourself. It’s not always easy to do. My intention is for you to feel comfortable saying anything that comes to mind. It’s when you let their guard down that you can be your truest self and open to new possibilities. Everything I do is based on evidence about how the mind and body are connected and what you need to do in everyday situations to make them work for them – not against them. You are continuing to grow and adapt to new situations. It’s crucial to apply strategies that work at every stage. You can be assured that methods will be measurable, so you will “see” the progress you make.
Please feel free to check out my Introduction Video at https://youtu.be/ytYmG-2v4c4 to learn more about me as practitioner and person. Clients often come to therapy, initially, with symptoms of anxiety, significant stress, exhaustion, depression, anger, etc. I am here to listen while the Client talks through current and past issues that have led to the onset of these symptoms. The goal is 1) for me to provide education (about symptoms, causes, coping tools, wellness, communication, etc.), and 2) for the client to discover the answers they have inside of themselves and develop confidence in ones' self. I offer compassion and respect to all clients. Often, my clients are struggling with worries, anxiety and/or low confidence. I provide a space to speak through sensitive topics.
Hi! Thanks for stopping by! As an experienced therapist, I equip you with practical tools, skills, and strategies to effectively manage the stresses of academic life while juggling the demands of everyday existence. Through personalized guidance, I empower you to cultivate healthy personal and professional relationships, which are pivotal in navigating life's complexities, especially when balancing work commitments alongside college studies or internships. With a focus on your individual growth and fulfillment, I facilitate the development of essential life skills that enable you not only to thrive personally but also to shape the life you aspire to lead. Drawing from my extensive experience supporting young adults during this transitional phase, I empathize with the common fears and challenges that can hinder progress and cause dissatisfaction. By exploring your emotions and identifying recurring patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, and unfulfilling relationships, we work together to break free from negative cycles and forge a path toward greater well-being. Our initial sessions center on understanding the influence of your family background, current struggles, and inherent strengths, laying the foundation for targeted interventions. Using a blend of Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes proactive problem-solving, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which examines the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, I guide you in creating actionable goals that foster tangible progress and instill confidence in your journey toward improved mental health and life satisfaction. Please connect with me through email or phone (texting) to discuss my availability and I can learn more about yours. So, let's chat! I offer a free, 15 minute phone consult to briefly discuss your challenges to make sure I would be a good for you. Happy to help!

Only an open mind to exploring their feelings and emotions through a creative lens!

I am a New York state licensed clinical psychologist, supervisor, and doctoral professor. I work with individual adults and couples experiencing distress due to fluctuations in mood, changing life circumstances, difficult relationships, and uncertain identity. Given my own multicultural identity, I approach every patient with compassion and curiosity for their experiences, encouraging those I work with to practice the same. I find that the most successful therapy is a result of healthy collaboration, trust, and creating a safe space to do the work. Let’s do this.
As a therapist, I encourage you to bring the “messiest” parts of yourself into the room during our sessions. I strive to create a safe, yet empowering space for all my clients, especially for those who hold marginalized identities. I let you set the pace of treatment and help you build confidence in your innate abilities to persevere and heal during difficult seasons of life. I also encourage you to provide feedback throughout our time together, so that we can make treatment as impactful and positive as possible. I believe that the most important aspect of our work together involves building a strong therapeutic relationship, so you can also expect a deep interest in you as a person outside of presenting concerns or diagnoses. Feel free to reach out if I sound like a good fit for you and your current needs. Either way, I wish you luck on your healing journey!
