About me

I am a New York licensed LMHC with over a decade of experience working with formerly incarcerated, currently incarcerated, and severely mental-ill individuals. I have also worked with addicted and dual-diagnosed patients and hold a New York Credential in Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services. I do my best to be patient-centered as something that works for one person is not guaranteed to work for someone else and it is the therapist's role to tailor the situation to the person in front of them.

In addition to severely mentally ill and incarcerated individuals, I have been trained in trauma therapy and critical incident response management to help individuals work through previous traumas they experienced with the goal of being able to reduce negative feelings that the patient might experience. I am also married to a first responder and have done field work being an assessor to determine a proper level of services needed. These experiences have helped me develop patient-focused skills on people who experience greater traumas as part of their jobs compared to individuals in the regular population.

I've been helped through the lowest current point in my life by Matthew, and every conversation we've had I've felt more capable of handling anything

Matthew has been very supportive and a great listener during our sessions. He has been completely non judgemental when helping me deal with addiction issues, and offers a fresh perspective that has helped me get through tough times during the the pandemic.
