Hello and welcome to BetterHelp. I am a Licensed Mental Heath Counselor in New York. I became a mental health therapist because I know firsthand the life-changing impact that genuine support and guidance can have during difficult times.

With over 14 years of experience in the field, I take a compassionate, holistic approach to therapy. I believe that every person is unique, and I’m committed to truly getting to know you — your story, your struggles, and your strengths — so that together, we can create a path forward that meets your specific needs. It’s been my privilege to support individuals through a wide range of life’s challenges. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating major life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and unwavering support.

How are you feeling right now? Are you treating yourself well? Along with happiness, life is painful. However, I believe your pain carries important meaning. Therefore, we will listen to your pain very carefully to find its meaning, which may help you unlock your "true-yourself" day-after-day, year-after-year. Let’s stop putting a superficial band aid on your pain and pretend that you are ok. Instead, let’s find out how you can manage and embrace your pain in order to let it go. My approach is both cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic. We need to go back to what happened to you, and then, identify how you are stuck with your pain. I will help you build new skills, which will help you better navigate your life.
