My Specialties & Experience

I specialize in a variety of severe and persistent mental health disorders, and have experience working with individuals, couples, families and groups. A defining role was when I worked as program supervisor at a community residence. Primarily I worked with clients diagnosed with schizophrenia, most of whom experienced extreme levels of anxiety and additionally I managed a team of 10 counselors. Bringing this experience into my private practice, combined with my collaborative approach, I empower my clients to develop their own coping skills, and to ultimately succeed in overcoming their challenges.

I have experience treating-

• Anxiety

• Stress

• Adult ADHD

• Self Esteem Issues

• Schizophrenia

• Life Transitions

• Relationship Issues

My Philosophy and Style

As a naturally warm and empathetic person, I help clients to feel comfortable with my patient and non-judgmental approach. I deeply value building trust, and will respectfully challenge a client when necessary to help identify where they may be stuck in unhelpful patterns. I work together with my clients to build self esteem, and to develop the necessary tools and skills to manage distressing emotions and uncomfortable situations.

Certification

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling, both from the College at Old Westbury State University of New York.

I have been a practicing LMHC since early 2022, and have worked as a Mental Health Counselor since 2018 in various capacities.

In addition to helping others, I enjoy spending time with my children, my cat, reading, movies and observing the changes of the seasons.
