About Me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, with authorization to provide telehealth services in Florida. I work primarily with adults who are thoughtful, self-aware, and motivated to understand themselves better — even if they’re feeling overwhelmed or uncertain.

My approach to therapy is warm, structured, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel supportive while also being purposeful and grounded in real-life application.

Many of my clients come to therapy during periods of transition, stress, or emotional fatigue. They value having a consistent, private space to slow down, reflect, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating.

I provide therapy primarily in English and also speak Portuguese and Spanish.

Therapeutic Approach

Modalities

I don’t believe therapy should feel vague or endless.

 

Together, we work intentionally to: Clarify what’s contributing to stress or emotional discomfort • Identify patterns that no longer serve you • Strengthen emotional awareness and regulation • Build tools that support lasting change outside of sessions

 

Therapy is a process of understanding, adjustment, and growth — not fixing what’s broken but strengthening what’s already there.

 

Therapy here is collaborative and focused, without feeling rigid or pressured. Utilizing an eclectic approach integrating strength based, solution focused and client centered modalities, we work together to: 

Make sense of what’s contributing to stress or emotional overload • Notice patterns that keep repeating • Develop practical ways to cope and respond differently • Build clarity around boundaries, decisions, and priorities

My role is to offer perspective, structure, and support — helping you move forward in a way that feels realistic and sustainable.
