My Approach to Helping

Sharing the same passion for helping others, and fighting against the stigma of mental health, Both Michelle and I decided to launch our very own group practice. Through life’s complexities, we have
come to understand that no matter the struggle that life presents us, there is always a silver lining. We believe in helping individuals build on their strengths, gain insight, and develop effective coping skills.
Our clinical areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, marital issues, codependency, self-esteem, women’s issues, substance abuse, harm reduction, grief, and transitional concerns. Through evidence-based approaches, we aim to tailor our treatment approach specific to the needs of each individual client. Our focus is to improve lives, facilitate the emotional regulation and overall wellness of our clients.
We believe that the counseling environment should be a safe space where clients are able to be their authentic selves while expressing complete vulnerability. Therapy can be a scary journey, and often, a journey that is necessary. Please feel free to email or contact us for a free consultation to begin addressing your therapeutic needs.

More Info About My Practice

Therapy is A chance for growth, a chance for happiness, a chance for a life worth living. I am a board-certified licensed mental health counselor in New York, practicing in the Queens-based area. I have a Bachelors's in Psychology, and Masters's in Mental Health Counseling both from St.John's University, a CACREP Accredited University. I provide treatment to individuals, couples, and families, My Areas of specialized training include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Child and Family Therapy, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Personal Coaching, Personality Disorders, Crisis management, Vocational Guidance, Trauma Issues, and Addictions.

My Therapy Focus

Negativity dampens our spirits. Positivity lifts them up. Through this experience you will gain the ability to focus on uplifting thoughts in any situation and become the best version of yourself. This will occur within a trusting, mutually respectful, environment.My mission is to create a counseling environment that feels safe where clients are able to be their authentic selves while expressing complete vulnerability. Therapy is not an easy process but anything that is a quick relief will not last long. I always say "rome was not built in one day" and quick fixes do not last. As we know the harder the work the bigger the payout.
