I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York with over 4 years experience working within residential programs with clients that have a wide array of needs. I have worked with older clients with compromised immune system concerns, along with serious mental health diagnoses. For the last three years, I have been working with young people that are staying in a residential setting. These youth have experienced significant physical and/or emotional trauma, and have been diagnosed with things like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and more. My counseling style really depends on the client and the rapport we have built. I believe that all clients deserve to be treated with respect, integrity, honesty, and compassion. My Person-Centered Therapy approach complements those core values, and allows me to build a therapeutic experience that is tailored to the client’s specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
