My communication style

I practice a communication style that is nonjudgmental, clear, supportive, while also maintaining respectful and sensitive boundaries. During sessions, you have opportunities to reflect on your experiences with an active listener and therapist.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm a New York native who moved to Las Vegas, NV in 2007. I've completed a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Marymount Manhattan College and a Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University. My background includes working in the education, substance abuse, and mental health fields.

My goals for you

As a therapist, I assist clients in reaching personal goals by promoting psychological well-being, increasing self-awareness, and supporting behavioral and emotional change.

Our first session

During our first session, I provide an environment that is safe and supportive for the client. It is an opportunity to gather background information, present issues, allow the client to express their goals/expectations, explain the therapy process to the client, and, if necessary, conduct a risk assessment.
