I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 15 years of counseling experience in a variety of clinical settings. I have both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Psychology from Loyola University in Maryland and am licensed to practice in NY. It is wonderful that you have taken this step towards improving your happiness and fulfillment, and I look forward to helping you on your journey. Though I have a psychodynamic background, my approach is client centered and incorporates principles of CBT. It is so easy to feel stuck in our own heads and behavior patterns, and taking the time to work through them, without feeling judged, can be an integral part of reducing anxiety, improving mood and changing behaviors. Everyone has unique needs and goals for therapy, so I believe in tailoring my clinical approach to every situation. Whether you choose to work with me or with any of the other qualified counselors available on this site, I hope you find help you need to move forward!
