There comes a time when you feel like you do not have control over your mind, thoughts, emotions, or behavior. Or maybe you have reached a part of your life where you would like to improve yourself, grow, and reflect in a meaningful way. If this is you, one of the best ways to help yourself is by seeking a professional provider. I am a dedicated and passionate Licensed Mental Health Counselor who centers on facilitating self-growth, emotional well-being, and autonomy through the therapeutic process.

I am an English, Russian, and Ukrainian-speaking therapist. I believe in approaching psychotherapy through a holistic, collaborative perspective to foster a safe and socially just, non-judgmental, and meaningful interpersonal experience. I have experience working with adults, couples, families, and teens from diverse backgrounds.

My experience and clinical work include working with clients suffering from trauma, addiction, Anxiety disorders, ADHD, Depressive disorders, OCD, relational dynamics, adjustment, vocational development, culture, and identity. My approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, ACT, psychodynamic approach, and EMDR.

Throughout my years serving a young adult/adult population, I have gained a great appreciation for working collaboratively with each client to understand the most effective approach unique to each individual. My approach uses person-centered exploration through different frameworks and clinical lenses to provide a nonjudgmental therapeutic environment in which we can gain a greater awareness of the individual's concerns and work from this awareness to affect change in the present.

I am a social worker with an LMSW and a SIFI certification to supervise social work interns.  Through my experience, I believe that many concerns are based in challenges with emotional expression and effective communication within our relationships. I have worked successfully within this model to address depression, anxiety, issues arising from sexual identity, LGBTQ, life transitions, long-standing relational issues, among many others.

My philosophy and approach to therapy is different from traditional schools of thought. I break away from the "old school" idea that therapy is just for people who have "serious problems" or mental illness. I understand life is stressful, relationships can be difficult, and the daily grind can leave even the best of us feeling overwhelmed and anxious.

I believe therapy is a proactive way to deal with life's challenges; a powerful tool in overcoming periods where you feel stuck or hit a roadblock; a journey to self awareness and knowing your true self; an opportunity to live your best life.

My role is to give clinical guidance on your journey by providing non-judgmental, unconditional positive regard at all times. I have years of experience in helping children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples thrive and find their happiness again.

We all sit in the driver seats of our lives, but sometimes it can be hard to juggle driving while reading the map, taking care of the passengers, and noticing the sidewalks. My role as a therapist is to sit beside you, picking up on the things that you are too focused to notice and follow your lead on your exploration and healing. Reaching out for help may feel scary and require a lot of courage and vulnerability, but it feels a bit better when we don’t have to face our challenges alone.

I believe mental health is a critical area that influences how people meet the demands of everyday life. I provide a supportive safe space, by building upon trust, honesty, and genuineness. Our work can look like problem solving, reasoning, exploring, investigating, reflecting, learning, or unlearning. I hope to facilitate and promote growth and healing so you can rediscover your strength, find balance, and improve life quality and overall health. I utilized an eclectic approach, integrating psychodynamic theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relational-cultural theory, with a trauma informed and strength based perspective.

I received both my B.S. in Applied Psychology with a specialization in child and adolescent mental health and my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from New York University. I am bilingual in Mandarin and English; thus, clients who wish/need therapy in Mandarin are welcome!

I believe that everyone needs a safe space where they can explore concerns with daily living and its impediments. I provide a neutral, non-judgmental zone to explore and find positive coping strategies. I believe that positive coping strategies will empower us to live our best lives. I will aid you in finding and exploring factors in your past and present that have hindered you from recognizing your internal strength. I hold a strong belief that talk therapy allows for a collaborative effort to utilize grounded theories as the tools needed to help you heal, change, accept and live your best life.

I am a Mental Health Counselor-LP who attained my degrees from Nassau Community College, New York University, and Hofstra University. While attending these scholastic institutions, I interned at various facilities such as The Door, Queens Children Psychiatric Hospital, and South Oaks Hospital Chemical Dependency and Substance Abuse Program. I have also held positions that allowed me to work with both public and private sector. I've worked with children and adults with a history of traumatic events that stem from various types of abuse.  I also have experience with couple's therapy, particularly focused around healthy communication styles.

I offer therapy that is empathic, respectful, honest, and collaborative. My approach is evidence-based, drawing on methods that are proven to be effective and reliable, while always honoring you as an individual.

My practice takes into account the pervasive nature of trauma, and how it can interfere with your ability to cope with life’s challenges. We will work to carefully uncover the reasons behind any behaviors you wish to change, as well as how those behaviors may have served you throughout your life. Together, we will pay attention to your prior experiences, including family dynamics, while working on practical, realistic approaches to dealing with today.

I have found that people are more resilient than they think. I work to help you harness your strengths, find balance, and regain hope.
