My communication style

My communication style is plain and simple, to provide an understanding, empathic, non-judgmental conversation so we can explore your feelings and experiences with the goal of improving your quality of life. And I love to use humor when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always known that I wanted to help people, and the idea only grew after I graduated from Columbia University. I suppose wanting to make a difference in someone's life and helping them navigate difficult situations is what drives me to do this work.

My goals for you

Often, clients come to therapy without having clear goals. It is most important to me to approach goals collaboratively, to meet the clients where they are, and to help them set goals for success.

Our first session

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and a getting-to-know-you, and then we'll dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored-made plan for us to work through in the follow-up sessions. My most important goal is to create a collaborative and warm space for the client.
