I believe that real, lasting change begins with a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth when given the right space and support. I strive to create an environment that is not only safe and affirming, but also intellectually and emotionally engaging, where clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and empowered.With a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hofstra University, I bring a well-rounded background that includes clinical experience at Hofstra’s Joan and Arnold Saltzman Center and within respected non-profit organizations. I have worked with individuals and families across various life stages, from early childhood through adulthood, and I provide services in both English and Spanish. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship and interpersonal dynamics, and family systems.
I take an integrative and highly personalized approach to therapy, drawing from evidence-based models including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic theory, and client-centered frameworks. My work is grounded in clinical rigor, but also guided by empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for the individuality of each client.Whether you’re looking to develop healthier patterns, navigate a period of transition, or deepen your understanding of yourself, I offer a therapeutic partnership built on clarity, compassion, and meaningful progress.
