My approach to psychotherapy is simple – I believe in the power of compassion and connection. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients by helping them overcome their challenges and develop the tools and insight needed to thrive in life. Whether you are struggling with substance use, anxiety, depression, or some other emotional or psychological concern, I am here to help. My many years of experience has honed my skills in creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe in exploring their issues and identifying solutions. With 15 years of experience at the New York City LGBT Center, most recently as their Senior Director of Behavioral Health, I have extensive knowledge and expertise working across the spectrum mental health and substance use issues and concerns. I am also a New York State Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor.
