Hi, I’m Lily. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York with over 12 years of experience supporting teens, young adults, and adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and emotional challenges.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported. I draw from trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based approaches, and a relational, family systems perspective.
I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work, including supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds navigating identity, culture, and belonging. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck, or going through a transition, we’ll work together at your pace, starting from where you are.
I’ve spent much of my career working in healthcare and community settings, and I’m especially mindful of how stress, burnout, systems, and life circumstances can shape mental health. I have experience supporting individuals, families, and groups navigating trauma, including sexual violence, relationship challenges, compassion fatigue, and complex life stressors.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, supportive partner to help you make sense of things and find a way forward, I’m here to help.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
