About me
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the New York State with over fifteen years’ experience working with adults, adolescents and families. My areas of interest are mood disorders, communication skills, family issues, life challenges, ADHD, and high functioning autism spectrum disorders.
My personal style is strengths-based, client-centered and solution focused. I believe in treating others with compassion and sensitivity and that you decide what outcomes are best for you. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, Adlerian, and solution-focused counseling interventions to provide you with the most appropriate approach and best treatment plan for your specific needs.
The first step in counseling is often the hardest, which is making an appointment with a counselor. If you are ready to work towards a happier and more fulfilling life I will work with you to give you the tools to empower you to make real and lasting change.
I look forward to hearing from you!
