- LMFT
I am a licensed therapist in New York with five years of professional experience. I work with clients across a wide range of backgrounds and challenges, including everyday stressors, long-term recovery from generational trauma, infidelity, gender identity, and working on personal growth through self-love. My approach is collaborative and client-centered. Affirmative care is my main priority for all clients within the gender spectrum while keeping in mind that your unique journey is at the center of the goals you make. Whether we take a structured or narrative approach, we will progress at a pace that suits your individual needs. I strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. Taking the first step toward therapy requires courage, and I commend you for committing to this journey.

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.
