Therapy Style
The vast majority of my work has been in helping people who have experience with bad things in life, learn about the hard parts of life and how they impact us as human beings, reduce emotional and physical distress, and support clients in achieving their goals. I have worked for over 10 years in NYC with adults, adolescents, children, and families. I hope you will find that I have a humble and compassionate approach with a strong grounding in evidence based practice so that we can work together on what is important to you and build the therapy that works to meet your unique needs.
