Nice to meet you
I am an NYU-trained therapist and have extensive experience working in a range of clinical settings, helping people achieve desirable results . I have advanced training in anxiety disorders, depression, substance misuse, LGBTQ+ and immigration issues.
I base my therapy practice on the fact that best outcomes are achieved when the client and therapist collaborate in building a personalized plan of action. This allows us to implement the most effective treatment modalities. My experience has shown that collaboration leads to a supportive, successful mental health journey.
