As a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York City, I specialize in providing compassionate and evidence-based support for college students, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent individuals. My approach integrates the principles of positive psychology with mindfulness and self-compassion techniques to help clients build resilience, foster self-acceptance, and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease. With a focus on the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the unique experiences and challenges faced by individuals in this community.

My goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where clients can explore their identities, address their concerns, and work towards their personal goals. In addition to my clinical practice, I have published a book, "The Path to Enlightenment" reflecting my commitment to promoting mental health and well-being.

Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to support you on your journey. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths, develop new coping strategies, and cultivate a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I look forward to accompanying you on this path to greater well-being and self-discovery.
