- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Therapist in Long Island, New York with 22 years of experience. As a Columbia University graduate I have a well balanced Social Welfare foundation which allows me to work in a multitude of disciplines with diverse clientele. I practice diversity and cultural competence and am committed to providing open, honest, non judgemental and effective therapeutic services, meeting each individual where they are. I want you to feel comfortable sharing in a safe and engaging but casual fashion.
My approach to therapy will be drawn by what is most effective for you. Affective therapy is about exploring and learning how to connect to your emotions, enabling affective coping to improve your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
