I am a Christian Counselor. I believe that psychotherapy is more effective when Christ is central to the process. Since God created the child, adolescent and his/her parents, He is the one with the wisdom to bring healing and restoration to the family. Though I have specialized with children and adolescents many adults have requested to see me and now my practice is expanding to include adults.
Christian Counseling unites Biblical values with the power of the Holy Spirit, together with the knowledge base of psychology and social work to bring emotional and mental health healing to people.

I am currently in pursuit of becoming a Registered Play Therapy for children aged 3-17 years old.
You're entering a space where you can be unapologetically you! That means you're free to laugh, cry, scream, and vent. I will be with you through each stage of emotion and I am going to challenge you to be in that moment, to feel, and to understand your emotions. I believe that healing begins when a client shows their authentic sense without worrying about being judged for what they are thinking or feeling. I believe that we are all capable of becoming the best version of ourselves even through our trials and tribulations. With the right attitude, motivation, and approach, growth and change will come.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with children, adolescents and adults in a non-judgmental environment to empower each individual to grow and make healthier, more positive choices.
I believe that stress and negative emotions often form a cyclic pattern of behavior, thoughts and feelings, each influencing the other. While emotions are natural and understandable, what is often not acceptable is our reaction to negative emotions. Emotional well-being is important at every stage of personal growth, and individuals having the tool of mental health care at their disposal can vastly determine how they cope and handle stress.

My area of expertise is assessment, without which a diagnosis and treatment planning cannot be determined. Often, therapy or medication falls short because of poor or unclear diagnosis. I use my years of clinical and academic experience as well as a tailored, objective assessment to address: Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar Disorder. I perform Fitness of Duty evaluations for employment clearances such as NYPD, FDNY, and bariatric surgery. I also help families and the court system with forensic, child custody and special education litigation as an expert witness.
