I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Intern (LMHC-I) currently pursuing my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at The City College of New York. My clinical approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I rely on heavily to help clients develop practical tools to navigate emotional challenges, reframe negative thought patterns, and foster long-term behavioral change.
While CBT forms the foundation of my work, I take an integrative, or eclectic, approach to counseling—drawing from a range of evidence-based practices to best meet each client’s unique needs. I believe that healing is not one-size-fits-all, and I strive to create a supportive, individualized therapeutic experience that encourages personal growth, emotional resilience, and self-understanding.
At New Leaf Mental Health Services, I am committed to walking alongside clients on their path to wellness, offering a safe space for exploration, reflection, and empowerment.
I’m inspired by the words of William James, a foundational figure in psychology: “Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” This quote captures the heart of my work—helping clients recognize their own power to grow, heal, and transform.
We provide compassionate support through individual, couples, and family therapy, helping you explore emotions, strengthen relationships, and build tools for lasting growth.
"The quality of staff at New Leaf is superb. I would describe their attitude as excellence. At a struggle point in my career and family life, the guidance I received at New Leaf was nothing short of a miracle. If anyone has mental health needs to be taken care of, they would be lucky to be served by New Leaf."
“I was nervous about starting therapy again after a difficult past experience, but New Leaf made the process simple and welcoming. From the first call, they helped me understand my insurance options and matched me with a therapist who truly listens. For the first time, I feel like I’m making real progress—learning to manage my anxiety and set boundaries. Their culturally responsive approach made me feel seen and valued.”
"If you’re looking for a network of therapists who are empathic, flexible and knowledgable, this is the place to go! 10/10!"
“Finding a therapist in NYC felt overwhelming until I found New Leaf. The team was caring and responsive, and I appreciated how flexible they were with scheduling. My partner and I started couples therapy here, and it’s completely changed the way we communicate. We’ve built trust again and feel more connected than ever. Having a diverse team that understands different perspectives made a huge difference in our experience.”
