Selden, NY

I worked with teens, young adults, older adults and couples. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, relationship issues & family conflicts. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in this process. I am here to meet my clients where they are at and to assist in achieving their goals. I respect your own self determination and create a judgement free zone where no subject is off limits to discuss. Together we can find a solution to any situation. I understand that starting therapy can be tough. The hardest step is to reach out and ask for help. I am here to guide you to through this journey.

Your effort to find help should be met with a comfortable space where you can self-identify areas of concern for the treatment to focus on. I treat therapy as a collaborative effort between myself and my patients, directing our attention towards symptom reduction and improving overall health. I offer sessions by telehealth and in-person at this time. I am happy to do a free phone consultation at the number provided on this page to see if your needs would fit the style of therapy I offer.

In our sessions, you can expect to share your story, and I will take the time to truly understand your experiences.

You may look like you have it together on the outside, but actually feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. I help individuals better understand themselves, discover ways to cope and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns like people-pleasing and overthinking. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients have trauma histories, caregiving roles, or chronic illness and are seeking deeper insight. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. Many people come to therapy simply feeling stressed, on edge or misunderstood. Through therapy, you'll gain tools to manage overwhelming feelings, improve relationships and break patterns negatively impacting your life.

You are the person that people often describe as intelligent, resourceful, humorous, well-liked, talented; an individual that accomplishes whatever they set out to do. You strive to excel at whatever you take on & some may even call you a perfectionist. You can't seem to understand why, or how, you continue to feel stuck, overwhelmed, tense, or perhaps, even sad or hopeless. The facts suggest you possess many of the positive qualities others seem to admire, and from afar, you appear to be someone that seemingly has it all! So why do you continue to struggle in your relationships, work or interests? Why don't you feel "enough?" To wake each day with the ability to say, “I am enough” & to actually believe it...THAT would be incredible! Managing or alleviating feelings of anxiety, depression &/or self-doubt, would be a freedom you've not felt in a long time. Being able to smile more & be more vulnerable in your relationships and life choices sounds like a dream come true! As your therapist I will help you identify the factors that interfere with you becoming your best self. We will work as a team to develop life strategies that work for YOU so you can better manage it all. I offer online, video therapy via a secure, HIPAA compliant platform, to individuals in New York State. If you think we may be a good fit please contact me for a free consultation.

People seek counseling / therapy for many reasons - to gain understanding and insights, make changes, process experiences, for support and encouragement, and many others. Whether you are looking for a safe place to discuss whatever is on your mind, are interested in making life changes, or just want to give therapy a try, I welcome the opportunity to meet with you and see how I may be able to help. You can count on me to be reliable, truthful, and kind. My approach to therapy recognizes the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship. I identify as queer and specialize in working with members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. I am an affirming practitioner. I have over 20 years of experience working with college and graduate students in college counseling centers, and as a result I've had the privilege of working with many people from all around the world. My therapeutic approach is culturally informed and integrates a whole-person perspective along with socio-cultural/political awareness and acknowledgement of the impact of systemic barriers on functioning. I am mindful of my own areas of privilege and how I show up in spaces and may be perceived by others. I attend to how I perceive others based on my own life experiences. I'm always working to educate myself and challenge my assumptions and biases. I read, try to keep up on the news (around the world, not just in the U.S.), and try to engage in conversations with people from various backgrounds. If you would like to have a brief, introductory conversation to discuss what you are looking for and how I may be able to help, please give me a call or send an email. An initial screening consultation is free. I look forward to hearing from you.

You may be a deep thinker/artist type who goes really deep into what matters to you. Maybe you struggle with self acceptance. You might be seeking a sense of purpose. What if you could feel better about yourself? What if your anxiety or depression started to lift and you felt some relief? What if you felt connected to your creativity and/or your sense of purpose? Imagine if you had someone in your corner to really hear your story and provide support. I provide a safe space to explore what matters to you. I routinely hear from clients that therapy with me has been instrumental in helping them to heal and start feeling like themselves again. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your situation. I offer free 15 minute consultations. Send me a text or an email to set something up. I look forward to meeting you!
