Starting therapy is scary. It’s new and you don’t know what to expect. That’s normal! But, you can do scary things and the benefits just might outweigh the fear! 

I’m a licensed professional counselor and ecotherapist committed to supporting individuals in their pursuit of healing, hope and happiness. My work focuses on self reflection, mindfulness practices and building confidence. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. I am passionate about combining my counseling skills with the innate healing power of the outdoors to support overall wellbeing and wholehearted living in clients that I work with.

If you're hesitant to try therapy, I say "what do you have to lose by participating?" It can be scary to feel vulnerable in sessions, but it can also feel scary to not know how to manage anxiety or depression or how to communicate effectively. Therapists are trained to help you in a multitude of ways, including teaching you new skills, helping you process trauma or just providing a sounding board for you. Not every therapist is going to be a good fit for every client, don't be afraid to communicate what you need!

Hello! Welcome to my profile! I'm happy you're considering therapy and my hope is that this profile allows you a small snap shot of who I am as a therapist. I have over 9.5 years working in a community mental health clinic, focusing on mothers and women who have severe mental health issues and/or substance use. I'm passionate about being a helper and feel that everyone can benefit from therapy at any time.

Your mental health is very important. You have to make sure that you take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else.

I was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, NY. I earned a BA in Psychology from Hampton University, a MA in Clinical Psychology from Norfolk State University and an Ed.S in Counseling Education from Hampton University. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples in different settings including psychiatric hospitals, schools, private and community agencies.

To honor your gut and intuition that leads to you consider counseling even if it’s just a thought.  Your way of being has brought you far but your gut is telling you want more in life and desire change.  The important part is just to start and try.

I will support you to greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and most importantly, a more fulfilling life, one step at a time. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story and I am ready to listen when you're ready. The best way to reach me is via email. I look forward to hearing from you.

Just start! There's no right way to do therapy, and no one should tell you there is. You don't have to be in crisis to get started, so why wait?

We have a team of diverse, multiculturally competent therapists who support clients with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship conflicts, career, and general life stress. We make therapy more accessible, inclusive, holistic - and work for you. Contact me to learn more!

I would like people to know and to understand that there is no good or bad/right or wrong way to approach therapy. With the therapist right for you according to your needs, you will be able to share whatever you choose - on your own time. My goal as a therapist is to help and support my clients in any way possible by recognizing each person as an individual with unique struggles and goals, as I strive to provide an environment with mutual trust and respect. It is important to know if you are hesitating to reach out that you are valued and you are the priority in our sessions.

Hi! I am a Mental Health Therapist dedicated to helping people find peace, fulfillment, direction and purpose in life. I believe the best approach to therapy is a holistic approach, appreciating the unique qualities and stories of each person, using their experiences and strengths to help build awareness, confidence and empowerment to make decisions in life best for their individual goals and priorities.

Therapy is not scary. I am here to listen to you and help you live a better life.

Every now and then you may stumble on one of life’s many challenges whether it be interpersonal, familial, marital, or within yourself. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, and the first and most important step is to just show up. Life is filled with many uncertainties; you do not have to do it alone. I am here to join you on your journey.

I believe therapy can benefit anyone, from people struggling with severe mental disorders to those who just desire a more fulfilling life. Therapy is a relationship between a client and another human being who happens to know a few things about how to achieve optimum mental health. Within this relationship, all kinds of things can happen! Exercises to eliminate symptoms, deep conversations that bring clarity and insight, new ideas and goals that motivate you toward a brighter future. Therapy is exciting. It is a journey, an adventure! The therapist is merely walking with you and supporting you as you tread the path of life. My advice is to just try it! If you don't hit it off with the first therapist, try a different one. This is your path, your journey. You have the power to choose who you want to walk beside you.

I am an EMDR-trained therapist helping women and teen girls eliminate shame, heal trauma, improve depression and anxiety symptoms, gain self-esteem, and experience hope for the future. I use somatic and attachment-focused EMDR, evidence-based psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral interventions, as well as compassion and non-judgement, to improve your current symptoms and heal the root of your issues. LGBTQ+ affirming.

I allow clients to explore past experiences, often through a trauma lens, thought processes, and relationships, in an environment that is safe and confidential without judgment. I also integrate complementary methodologies and techniques tailored to each client

I am a trauma-focused and trained psychotherapist with nearly eight years of experience. I have worked and continue to work with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, identity questions, grief, relationship issues, and immigration concerns. My role as a therapist is to provide support and guidance through life-challenging situations and to assist clients, when ready, to move their lives in the way they believe they should. Listening is a powerful tool, and one gains understanding and compassion. I offer clients the space for their voices to be heard as they seek comfort and healing.
