- LCSW-R
As a licensed therapist with two decades of experience in New York, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical expertise centers on addressing social anxiety, panic disorders, post-traumatic stress, and mood-related challenges. I have a deep understanding of men's mental health, caregiver stress, and the unique experiences of military veterans.
My approach is compassionate and tailored, recognizing that each person's journey is unique. I'm particularly skilled in helping clients manage chronic pain, life transitions, and underlying emotional struggles. Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I provide a supportive environment where individuals can explore their challenges, develop resilient coping strategies, and work towards meaningful personal growth.
I am committed to creating a safe, understanding space where clients can feel heard, validated, and empowered to transform their emotional well-being. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering professional guidance and genuine support through life's most challenging moments.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
