I’ve been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York for over 20 years. I’ve worked with a broad range of individuals in both community and clinical settings. You will find that I am compassionate, authentic, and easy to talk to. What I love about what I do is the difference I get to make with people. Over the years I’ve developed my style of practice to be transformative for my clients. I’m proud to say that my clients don’t usually see me for very long. That’s because I am masterful at getting quickly to what is stopping them in life and having them transform that area of life for themselves in a short amount of time. I provide dynamic, solution-focused counseling through guided conversations. This is coaching vs. traditional therapy. The structure of each session is tailored to my client’s individual needs and areas of focus but generally follows a basic structure to cover key points. These include identifying your primary concern(s), generating a clear picture of what you want to accomplish, and teaching you practical tools for accessing your power in areas where you’ve experienced a loss of power.
