My approach is grounded in the belief that we are best understood within the context of our lives; shaped by relationships, identity, emotional history, culture, and lived experience. I view therapy as a supportive space to explore how emotions, relationships, identity, and the body are
interconnected, and how these pieces influence the way we move through life. I aim to create a warm, collaborative, and affirming space where you feel seen, respected, and supported as you explore growth and healing.

In sessions, I focus on understanding how patterns of connection, attachment, and emotional experience shape present-day challenges. I am especially interested in how people experience intimacy, communication, purpose, and meaning in their lives, as well as how emotional experiences are reflected both psychologically and physically. Alongside this relational work, I incorporate practical tools and structure from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and coping in everyday life.

I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship and communication challenges, anxiety and stress, identity exploration, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and life transitions. I am deeply committed to providing LGBTQIA+ affirming care and working with individuals and
couples navigating identity, intimacy, communication, and relational concerns. Drawing from feminist and multicultural perspectives, I believe personal experiences cannot be separated from social context, and I strive to help clients develop greater agency, authenticity, and connection.

“As you take a step toward personal growth and change through counseling, I want to commend you and offer a safe, dynamic, and enriching space to flourish in. Fear, isolation, uncertainty, stress, grief, hardship, anger, sadness, and confusion can be difficult emotions to navigate—especially during challenging times. With many years of experience in the field, I bring a compassionate and grounded presence to our work together”.

“I understand that sharing personal thoughts and emotions can be overwhelming at first. That’s why I work to build a therapeutic relationship rooted in empathy, validation, and trust. I serve as a warm ally and an engaged facilitator of better mental health—supporting your healing, self-awareness, and personal growth every step of the way”.

It’s easy to feel defined by the “noise” of past hurts or the endless loop of worry. You might feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, but the path toward clarity and peace is often just a conversation away. Therapy offers a dedicated space to turn down the volume on that noise and understand the core story you’re currently living. I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples move beyond their challenges to achieve meaningful, lasting change. I prioritize creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental, and safe space where you can feel truly heard, validated, and empowered. My goal is simple: to provide the support and guidance necessary to help you regain control, improve your relationships, and step toward the fulfilling life you desire.

I work with individuals and couples, and I am committed to providing affirming support to those from the Hispanic and LGBTQIA+ communities. My expertise lies in assisting clients who are struggling with emotional and mood challenges, including anxiety, depression, anger management, stress management, and burnout. I also specialize in behavioral concerns such as low self-esteem and confidence building, navigating behavioral problems, issues related to sex and porn addiction, and challenges with substance use as they move toward recovery.

My approach integrates proven, evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, all delivered through a person-centered lens. I believe everyone has the capacity for improvement and I am passionate about helping you uncover your inner strengths to make that a reality.

Cerita is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York who brings warmth, curiosity, and compassion to her work. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Media Studies from Rutgers University and a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Iona College.

Her experience spans working with young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, ADHD, stress, and depression, as well as supporting older adults and serving in local schools. She has a particular passion for working with BIPOC young adults, especially those who are second-generation immigrants or exploring identity alongside cultural and family expectations.

Cerita’s approach integrates Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, Existential, CBT, and ACT methods. She helps clients strengthen self-esteem, embrace their emotions, and build trust in themselves, creating a collaborative space where growth and healing can unfold.

I believe healing begins with connection. I approach each client relationship with warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for your unique life experiences. My style is collaborative and relational, centered on the belief that the therapeutic bond is a powerful space for self-exploration, resilience, and growth.

I support adolescents, young adults, and adults from a Relational-Cultural framework that emphasizes empathy, empowerment, and mutual connection. I also integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Somatic Therapy, tailoring each session to your goals and needs. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, or just looking to understand yourself better, I strive to meet you where you are with compassion and care.

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from the University of Vermont. I’ve supported clients across various stages of life and in multiple therapeutic settings. I’m especially passionate about creating a culturally responsive, inclusive, and empowering space.

Before becoming a therapist, I was a Division 1 collegiate athlete and club soccer coach, experiences that profoundly shaped my understanding of identity, collaboration, and mental resilience. These roles helped me cultivate presence, leadership, and adaptability—skills I now bring into the therapeutic setting, especially when working with adolescents, young adults, and individuals facing stress, anxiety, or high-pressure environments.

Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you—and build an environment that is supportive and grounded in mutual respect. Let’s start where you are and grow from there.

I work with individuals, couples, and families using a systemic approach to help peel back the many layers of what’s getting in the way of problem-solving. I collaborate with clients from all walks of life to unpack how various developmental and cultural factors shape our experiences and the stories we tell ourselves.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to healing. I recognize the nuances that make each situation unique. I am trained in Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST), which allows me to deploy a variety of therapeutic interventions depending on what your specific needs entail. I am LGBTQ-affirming, and make cultural humility an utmost priority in my care.

I use mindfulness, warmth, and playfulness to help clients empower themselves to access strength and agency during life’s most challenging chapters. My mission is to cultivate a brave space where trust, vulnerability, and healing are welcomed and celebrated.

I seek to hear you, see you, and at times, compassionately challenge you. I believe that every person is capable of change if they are motivated and courageous enough to persevere through the inevitable growing pains of self-actualization. It would be my honor to help support you through that process.

Many people carry old emotional patterns and repeating cycles that show up in relationships, daily life, or family situations — and it’s possible to move beyond them with the right support. I specialize in systemic therapy. This approach, combined with evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-focused care (CCTP), helps bring hidden patterns into awareness and gently release what no longer serves you, so you can create more balance and ease in your life. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded. I provide a safe, straightforward space where we can explore your experiences at your own pace and focus on practical steps that fit your life.

I’m Alex, a therapist who works with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity, trauma, and relationship challenges. Maybe you’ve been carrying something for a long time and can’t quite name it yet. Or maybe you know exactly what it is, but haven’t had the right space to work through it. Either way, you’re in the right place.

My approach is empathetic and direct. I believe therapy should feel real, not like you’re being talked at, but like you have someone genuinely in your corner who will also challenge you when it matters. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, and solution and goal-focused therapy, woven together with mindfulness techniques, behavioral strategies, and an attachment-based, trauma-informed foundation. I also bring a multicultural lens to every session, because who you are, your background, identity, and lived experience, aren’t separate from your healing. It’s central to it.

I work with adolescents, adults, and couples across a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. Together, we’ll build insight, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change that actually sticks. You don’t have to have it figured out to start; you just have to show up.

I am a dedicated mental health professional specializing in trauma-informed care. My clinical work focuses on supporting individuals navigating the complex impacts of stigma, disempowerment, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I help individuals reclaim a sense of agency, resilience, and self while addressing the psychological and emotional effects of life’s most challenging experiences.

In addition to my trauma work, I have extensive experience supporting individuals coping with end-of-life symptoms and related emotional distress. I bring sensitivity and depth to this work, helping clients and their families process grief, uncertainty, and existential concerns with dignity and care. My practice emphasizes creating a safe, affirming space where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward healing at their own pace.

I currently reside in New York State with my husband of 29 years, along with our beloved Siamese and Pug. My personal and professional life reflects a deep commitment to compassion, connection, and advocacy—values that continue to guide my work with diverse populations.

Queer & Gender-Affirming Mental Health Counselor | Serving Individuals, Couples & Polycules

I specialize in supporting clients exploring gender identity, intimacy, and sexuality across the lifespan. As a queer, trans nonbinary therapist, I provide affirming care for LGBTQIA+ individuals, ethically non-monogamous relationships, and those navigating trauma related to rejection, shame, or disconnection from self and others.

My work often focuses on relationship dynamics (including polycules and nontraditional families), intimacy-related disorders, and building self-trust after experiences of systemic or intergenerational trauma. Whether you’re coming out, healing from sexual shame, exploring new relationship structures, or simply longing for deeper connection, I offer a space where all parts of you are welcome.

With a warm, collaborative, and gently challenging style, I integrate narrative therapy, relational therapy, and somatic practices, and trauma-informed frameworks to help you reconnect with your body, values, and voice. I also draw on career development theories to support meaning-making and life transitions.

Above all, I believe healing is not about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you’ve always been.

As a therapist, I draw from a psychodynamic, humanistic, and interpersonal foundation, believing that lasting growth begins with understanding the deeper layers of our emotional world and relationships. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support meaningful, present-focused change.

I am LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to creating a space where all aspects of your identity are honored and welcomed. At the heart of my work is the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful tool for healing—a space where authenticity, safety, and connection open the door to greater self-awareness and mindfulness.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or life transitions, I aim to meet you with compassion, curiosity, and collaboration as we work toward your goals.

Specializing in trauma, women’s trauma and intimate partner violence, LGBTQ+ and TGNC-affirming care, and depression, I work with young adults and adults who want a safe, accepting space to heal and grow. Using a holistic, person-centered approach, I blend CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to create individualized, empowering sessions that help you build resilience and reconnect with your strengths

Clients often share that they feel safe, supported, and truly understood in our sessions. My style is warm, patient, and nonjudgmental, and I welcome all identities and relationship structures. Whether you’re healing from trauma, exploring identity, or seeking emotional clarity, you’ll be met with respect, compassion, and a space where your experiences are honored.

Our first sessions focus on understanding your story, your goals, and what you need to feel supported. Together, we’ll create a plan that moves at your pace. I combine insight-based exploration with practical tools, grounding work, and trauma-informed care. For LGBTQ+ and TGNC clients, I offer a knowledgeable and affirming space. My goal is to help you develop clarity, confidence, and lasting emotional strength.

Restless. Anxious. Stuck. Successful on paper but disconnected from who you actually want to be—and how you want to be feeling. That gap is exactly what we work on closing.

As a former Navy SEAL, teacher, coach—and now therapist, I work with clients who have been streuggling to manage the surface and now ready to challenge and change what’s happening underneath. Together we’ll cut through anxiety, interrupt old patterns, and build a life that’s more authentic and fulfilling.
If that sounds like you, let’s talk.

I work with individuals, children, couples, and families navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and developmental challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in cultural humility. I aim to create a space where clients feel genuinely seen and supported as they explore what’s hard and move toward meaningful growth.

I draw from a systemic and relational lens—recognizing how family dynamics, culture, and environment shape our internal world and relationships. I especially enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, build deeper connections, and create lasting change.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your path to healing and self-discovery.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC-LP), I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals, couples, families, and groups across the lifespan. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, anger management concerns, OCD, ADHD,
PTSD, self-esteem and body image challenges, eating disorders, relationship issues, and substance use concerns. I also offer affirming care for LGBTQIA+ individuals. Common symptoms addressed in treatment may include excessive worry, racing thoughts, low mood, emotional dysregulation, intrusive thoughts, difficulty concentrating, relationship conflict, and challenges with self-worth.

My therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Behavioral Therapy. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns to improve emotional well- being and daily functioning. Behavioral Therapy emphasizes changing learned behaviors through practical strategies such as skill-building, exposure, and reinforcement to support meaningful and lasting change. I also integrate mindfulness-based techniques to help clients build present-moment awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience.

My therapeutic style is direct, supportive, and goal-oriented, while remaining collaborative and empathetic. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel empowered and actively involved in their growth. Together, we will set clear, realistic goals and track our progress. Treatment plans are individualized to align with your values, strengths, and lived experiences, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for growth, healing, and self-discovery. I am committed to working collaboratively with you to develop practical tools, increase insight, and foster long- term emotional well-being. Whether you are seeking support for a specific concern or personal growth, our work together will focus on creating sustainable change and helping you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and existential distress, including difficulties related to identity, meaning, relationships, and emotional regulation. Many of my clients feel stuck in repeating patterns. They may feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or others, or unsure why certain relationships or internal struggles keep resurfacing. I also support individuals navigating the long-term effects of early attachment wounds, chronic stress, shame, and life transitions, helping them develop deeper self-understanding and emotional stability.

My approach is multimodal, relational, and trauma-informed, with a strong emphasis on understanding how past experiences shape present emotional and relational patterns. I take an active and engaged role in therapy, helping clients explore unconscious processes, defenses, and internal conflicts while fostering insight and emotional awareness. My work integrates psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based approaches, existential exploration, and mindfulness-informed practices, allowing space for both depth and reflection rather than surface-level symptom management.

Clients can expect a thoughtful, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore difficult emotions, gain insight into longstanding patterns, and reconnect with a more authentic sense of self. Over time, many clients experience improved emotional regulation, more fulfilling relationships, reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms, and a stronger sense of meaning and agency in their lives. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will work toward helping you feel more grounded, integrated, and aligned with who you truly are.

I am a Latino, cisgender gay, able-bodied immigrant from Peru. My personal and professional experiences shape my approach to therapy, which is grounded in curiosity, empathy, compassion, and acceptance of our shared humanity. I believe growth is an ongoing process, and therapy can provide a meaningful space to better understand yourself, your relationships, and the patterns that shape your life.

In our work together, we will explore your relationships, family dynamics, goals, and coping strategies to help you feel more grounded and supported. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental, creating a safe space to explore your thoughts and emotions and to practice expressing them in ways that feel authentic and effective. I work with both individuals and couples, supporting clients as they navigate relational challenges and strengthen emotional connection.

With nearly two decades of counseling-related experience, I have worked with diverse communities, including Latinx and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. I support clients around a wide range of concerns, including trauma, immigration, intimacy, grief, sex work, polyamorous and consensually non monogamous relationships, and other often-stigmatized or taboo topics, always within a respectful and affirming therapeutic space. I specialize in identity-related concerns and the ways unaddressed stress, pressure to conform, and past experiences can accumulate over time and feel overwhelming. I help clients release what keeps them anchored to the past or anxious about the future so they can feel more present
and connected.

Growing up queer in a heteronormative society deeply shaped my understanding of the challenges many people face around identity, self-acceptance, and relationships. My own experience in therapy was transformative and inspired me to pursue this work. In my couples work, I draw from training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method to help partners better understand their emotional patterns, improve communication, and build trust and connection. While therapy can be challenging and requires commitment, I also believe it can be empowering, affirming, and even enjoyable.

The path toward healing and change is rarely linear, but by reaching out, you are already taking a meaningful step forward. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward growth, healing, and greater well-being.

You deserve a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready to grow, I’m here to walk alongside you.

My approach honors you as the expert on your own life. Grounded in feminist, multicultural, and existential values, I respect your story, identity, and pace. I bring over 20 years of professional experience in varying industries. As a certified yoga instructor, I integrate evidence-based therapies (CBT, CPT) with somatic and mindfulness-based tools that connect mind and body for deeper healing.

Clients describe me as calm, collaborative, and supportive—offering both honesty and warmth in our work together. I provide trauma-informed, affirming virtual care for BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and all individuals seeking an empowered path forward.

Ready to feel more grounded and supported? I’d be honored to work with you.

I am dedicated to creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued for who you are. I believe that therapy should be a place where your story is honored, where your pain, resilience, identity, and growth are all held with care.

I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern University and hold a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Human Biology and Mental Health Studies from the University of Toronto. From an early age, I’ve been deeply curious about the human mind, how our behaviors, emotions, experiences, and biological makeup shape who we are and how we relate to the world. This intersection of mind and body continues to guide my therapeutic work.

With a background in counseling psychology and clinical experience, I support clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity concerns, life transitions, and stress. I understand that life can feel overwhelming and isolating at times, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. My trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach draws from CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help you process your experiences, build coping strategies, and reconnect with yourself.

Having lived in diverse countries and been immersed in multiple cultures, I bring a global lens and cultural sensitivity to therapy. My experiences have deepened my understanding of identity, belonging, and navigating cultural expectations. I strive to offer a nonjudgmental space where your voice, values, and background are fully respected and understood.

Healing takes time, but in therapy, you can begin to unpack what’s heavy, find clarity in confusion, and discover the strength that’s already within you. Together, we can work to make meaning of your experiences and help you move toward the life you want.

Life has happened to, is happening, and will continue to happen to us all in one way or another. Therapy allows you to explore and process the past while gaining insight into how it may impact your present.

I intend to co-create a space where you feel safe, empowered and affirmed throughout the exploration of the many parts that make you uniquely you. I like to take a wellness-based approach to therapy as I believe that we are more than the sum of our parts. Through the utilization of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectal behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy my goal is to assist my clients in recognizing ineffective thought patterns and how they may be impacting the quality of their internal world which inevitably materialize into their outside world. Through these approaches, I hope to assist you in exploring how past experiences may be impacting you presently while cultivating skills to create effective changes toward the life you’d like to live. My areas of interest include addressing BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ issues as well as treatment of anxiety, depression, anger management, stress management, behavioral problems, adjustment disorder, identity development, mood difficulties, chronic stress, burnout, interpersonal relationships, intimacy, grief, and loss. As a professional counselor, I’m committed to learning, developing, and cultivating various modalities to better serve my clients.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed in certain areas of your life? Whether it’s relationships, career challenges, or personal growth, therapy can be a powerful tool to help you navigate these obstacles and find a path to greater fulfillment and joy. Change can be both challenging and rewarding, and I am here to partner with you on this journey, providing a compassionate and empathetic space for you to share and explore your experiences.

As a therapist, my role is to be a supportive and objective presence, offering reflective and constructive feedback without judgment. I aim to equip you with tools and insights that can help you overcome unconscious roadblocks and reframe unhealthy thinking patterns. By utilizing an integrative approach of solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic approaches, we can address a range of issues in a holistic, personalized, and effective way, allowing us to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each client and promote long-term emotional well-being.

My specialty areas include a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, and much more. Being a gay man, I am particularly attuned to the unique experiences of the LGBTQ+ community and strive to offer an inclusive and affirming environment for all my clients. Therapy with me emphasizes introspection, understanding, and the power of a supportive therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help you gain empowerment, insight, and self-awareness so that you can live a more grounded and satisfying life, with richer connections to yourself and those around you. I believe that therapy is at its best when you feel heard, understood, and personally cared for. If you’re looking for a therapist who values empathy, collaboration, and a personalized approach, I encourage you to reach out! Let’s work together to achieve your goals and enhance your well-being. I look forward to embarking on this journey with you.

Every minute we spend shapes the tapestry of our future lived experiences, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in profound ways. Therapy serves as a space to closely examine these moments, delving into the nuances of our interactions, decisions, and responses. Whether exploring pivotal life events or everyday interactions, I believe therapy invites us to reflect on how every second contributes to our personal narrative and sense of self. By examining these moments up close, my objective is to empower clients to gain insight, heal from past wounds, and cultivate resilience as we navigate life’s complexities.

Specializing in both Marriage & Family Therapy (MFT) and Mental Health Counseling (MHC), I am passionate about helping clients consciously shape their future experiences with greater awareness and intention. I am devoted to bringing a compassionate approach to therapy, integrating a variety of effective counseling methods tailored to meet the needs of my clients. I have established a foundation in Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Therapies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to explore intricate connections, emphasize self awareness and healing, set and achieve meaningful goals for positive change, and empower you to discover strength in your unique narrative.

My commitment extends across the lifespan, having worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, LGBTQIA community members, and the elderly. This breadth of experience reflects my dedication to inclusivity and cultural competence. Adaptability and openness to learning different therapeutic modalities are key to my overall practice and evolution as a therapist. I look forward to creating a safe haven of support while guiding you through this introspective journey.

I subscribe to the belief that who we are and where we come from make us unique and dynamic individuals and because of this, honoring my client’s individuality is at the heart of my therapeutic philosophy. There are countless factors that shape an individual throughout their lifetime, and all deserve to be recognized. I believe that understanding these influences and examining how they have impacted us is the necessary key to providing meaningful and compassionate treatment. I aim to view my clients’ stories through an intersectional lens that explores how their different identities have come together to influence their distinctive life experiences. Therapy is not one size fits all, and it is because of this that I work passionately to collaborate with my clients in tailoring a unique treatment plan that works for them and their specific needs. I strive to cultivate a secure, accepting, and comfortable environment in which my clients can trust that they will be heard, respected, and treated with the utmost compassion.

My primary areas of interest lie in LGBTQIA+ issues, Self Esteem issues, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Depression and Grief. I believe that a skilled therapist should have a large toolbox and as such I seek to find creative ways to integrate multiple modalities into my client’s treatment. Some of my specific modalities of interest are Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

I have experience working with a wide variety of backgrounds and populations. Specifically, I have worked with clients who have suffered from traumatic brain injuries, helping them to overcome obstacles like anxiety, depression and finding meaning within new circumstances. I have led groups on the understanding and treatment of Social Anxiety Disorder, breaking down stigma and normalizing the experience. I have had the opportunity to work with clients overcoming grief, assisting them in learning how to navigate life through finding meaning in their loss. I have collaborated with LGBTQIA+ clients, empowering them to explore and understand what it means to be different in a heteronormative world and how that affects them. Additionally, I have worked in a lab that conducted research and published articles on prevalent psychological topics within the LGBTQIA+ community, specifically on intimate partner violence.

I am committed to fostering a supportive, empathetic, and collaborative environment where you feel genuinely listened to. My approach is flexible, drawing from a variety of counseling techniques such as Person-Centered, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy. By tailoring these methods to your individual needs, we can work on achieving your specific counseling goals.

Therapy can provide invaluable insights for everyone, helping us understand our developmental stages and their impact on our perceptions, outlook, and growth. My aim is to cultivate a strong therapeutic alliance with you, exploring these aspects to increase your self-awareness.

We will collaborate to transform thoughts into action, fostering new coping skills and adapting behavioral and thought patterns to create positive change. I prioritize your emotional well-being and we will work together to strengthen and preserve it in a confidential setting. Counseling with me is a step in your unique journey towards self-actualization, self-compassion, and self-exploration.

I recently completed my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Barry University.
