As a licensed therapist in New York , I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding each person's unique journey, with particular expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem challenges. I am deeply committed to creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.
My therapeutic work focuses on helping individuals address a wide range of concerns, including social anxiety, communication difficulties, life purpose exploration, and healing from trauma. I bring a multicultural, intersectional perspective to my practice, honoring each client's individual identity and lived experiences.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients in developing self-love, processing difficult emotions, and building resilience. Whether you're struggling with isolation, relationship challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
