Hello. I’m so glad you’ve taken the first step to reach out through BetterHelp and choosing us to start the next chapter of your journey. Let’s see if I’m the best fit to get you where you want to go in life. I believe the most important thing is the right match between the client and the therapist.
I have my Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University. I have been in the field for 21 years now working with a variety of populations from children to adults. To me, people are just people, young or old, and we all go through struggles that may get us “stuck.” My approach is to support you in becoming “unstuck.” I tend to use the cognitive behavior, solution focused, strength based model. I find that my clients feel empowered, with increased happiness, when they are reaching success. I have worked with patients struggling with sadness and depression, addiction, ADHD, anxiety, PTSD, anger, relationships, phobias and parenting; just to name a few. It’s my objective to support you in reaching your goals at your own pace, although it may seem like I’m pushing you sometimes. I will support you in times you need to vent, but also shift you back to focus and teach you new ways to cope. I’m here to facilitate personal growth when you are feeling like it might not be reachable.
My goal is to allow you to feel safe, supported and challenged, yet empowered. I will listen, guide and support you to be the best version of yourself you can be! You don’t have to do it alone and it’s okay to reach out for support. Asking for help is a strength and I’m here for you!
I check my messages twice a day; 7 days a week. Normally in the morning and again in the evening. I offer messaging live chat sessions during the evening hours or weekends. Reach out if you feel I am the best fit for you!

About online counseling

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.
