EXPERIENCE
About Me
As a fully licensed mental health counselor (LMHC-013648) with over five years of experience, I am passionate about helping individuals, adults, couples and families improve their mental wellbeing. My journey began after earning my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University. During my post-graduate practice, I worked with children and adolescents, which I used my experiences to build on my skills to help them and their families navigate through life's challenges. Regardless of what brings you to counseling it is important to me that you are provided with a nonjudgmental and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely.
Areas of Focus
Children (5-9)
At this age I often will utilize play therapy, and art therapy techniques to work with younger children since they are often unable to verbalize their feelings.
​
Pre-Teens (10-12)
Pre-teens can have issues including anxiety, anger, bullying, self-esteem, impulse control, LGBTQ and bullying. I will assist them in developing coping skills to help them resolve any of these issues.
Adolescents (13-19)
The focus is helping Adolescents navigate through tough issues that Adolescents can face such as stress management, anxiety, self-harm, gender identification, anger, LGBTQ, addictions, high school and college transitions.
Individual Adults
With individuals I work from a family systems perspective, this could mean that some sessions may involve inviting family members to participate. This approach allows for a deeper understanding of relationships and helps to create a supportive environment for long-lasting healing and growth.
Families
Family therapy can be a very effective form of counseling, as it offers a unique opportunity for growth and healing for the entire family unit. Some of these issues that families face can be, communication issues, conflict resolution, and parenting challenges.
Couples
Couples counseling can be effective for couples because it provides an opportunity to discuss issues in a neutral and safe environment.
