I provide individual recognition for adolescents, adults, couples and families coping with multiple issues in order to provide appropriate counseling and support. I work in diverse settings, designed to provide a variety of counseling and support services. I provide clients with an approach to therapy combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Orientation with Positive Psychology.
I prioritize helping clients identify specific behavioral goals, understanding the impact of their thoughts on their behaviors, and agreeing on strategy implementation in order to achieve these goals. I provide clients with a safe and collaborative environment to support their exploration of positive experiences. I also help my clients to recognize and develop their strengths in order to increase their sense of empowerment, promote resiliency, develop greater self-acceptance and grow and improve their lives.

I have wanted to since I can remember. I walked into Coney Island hospital psych ward at age 16 and asked how I can help and learn. I believe that feeling validated and wanted to make positive changes can lead to a healthy mental health. I have a true passion for helping others work towards their goals and collaboratively help them find functional changes that lead them to their goals.
I enjoy exercise and spending time with my family, and friends.
Exercise as well as a mental health hour after work.
