My communication style

My sessions are organized "free-flow", Clients often apologize for being "all over the map" or "skipping around". I assure them this is how the process works. I provide a safe, judgment-free space to unpack your emotions. We'll start with your most pressing thoughts and feelings, then work through them one by one.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in NYC with a fractured family of first and second-generation Americans who experienced great adversity. I learned to embrace cultural differences while understanding the obstacles and dark side of societal prejudices. I've spent my life helping people overcome these roadblocks to better enjoy life.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to first understand which areas of improvement will bring the most likely benefit to you. In this way, goals are self-motivated, and I play a supporting role in helping you determine their priority while achieving them.

Our first session

In my first session with you, I hope to gain an understanding of your world and circumstances. I will ask questions about present and past relationships and experiences that have shaped your reality, as well as potential areas of trauma, past and present. We will move at a pace that is comfortable for you.
