I value curiosity and connection. I entered this field with an understanding that taking care of our minds is essential to living healthy, fulfilling lives. I believe an important element of a healthy mind is healthy supports. I place emphasis on building a collaborative relationship, where with warmth and some good humor we can figure out together what a healthy mind might look like for you. I utilize techniques from Cognitive behavioral therapy and ACT. We will work together to begin to unravel patterns in thinking and behavior and learn new skills for healthier living. Every individual is unique and therefore I value being eclectic in my style and approach. My intent is to create an authentic , compassionate, space where growth occurs.

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in relationship issues, stress management, anxiety and life transitions for the adult population. As a therapist with over ten years of experience, my work has allowed me to treat both children and adults. I understand that trust takes time to develop. Regardless of the population, my therapeutic approach aids in navigating potential challenges that arise throughout the lifespan. Life can be overwhelming at any age, and having a trustworthy, neutral person to confide in is ideal. In my experience, I have come to learn that individuals want someone that will listen to them without judgement, which is what I provide. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal and Humanistic Therapy. My approach is non-judgmental, person-centered and collaborative. I am a strong believer that a person's mental health is as equally important as their physical health. Working together, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental environment. I utilize CBT, Humanistic and Interpersonal Therapy, to help clients develop skills that, with consistent application, improve their ability to manage the issues they present with. My style is creating a working alliance , and I modify my approach to each individual's unique goals. My journey to becoming a therapist began with being labeled 'the voice of reason' by friends. I would ask if they wanted someone to vent to, or were they seeking advice. When giving advice, I would take a neutral standpoint of seeing the entire picture, because there can be different perspectives in situations. My neutrality would take precedence, regardless of my personal relationship with the friend. This has deepened my commitment to providing an unbiased perspective to client sessions. I believe in individualization and client self-determination. People come from diverse backgrounds and have a multitude of life experiences, so acknowledging that diversity positively impacts the collaborative nature of the therapeutic relationship I strive to build. I have interests in music, various forms of exercise, arts and crafts, cooking and collecting.

Navigating mental health challenges can feel overwhelming, especially in a world that often misunderstands or overlooks the struggles of individuals with conditions like bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), ADHD, anxiety, and depression. My practice focuses on helping you build skills, resilience, and a deeper sense of self-worth so you can thrive. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to care. Whether you're facing challenges as a student, an LGBTQ+ individual, an immigrant, or a member of another minority group, I offer a space where you are seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to understand your unique needs and work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your life. Together, we’ll explore strategies to manage symptoms and improve your overall well-being. Using tools like CBT, mindfulness, and meditation, I can help you build awareness and learn practical ways to approach the challenges that have felt unmanageable in the past. I also believe in treating the whole person. That means considering the role of nutrition, physical activity, your environment, and even hobbies as part of your care plan. My experience includes working closely with individuals in their everyday environments and gaining insight into their real-world struggles and achievements. This perspective has shaped how I approach care by focusing on realistic, sustainable changes that make a genuine difference in your life. I am here to help you discover new ways of seeing yourself and the meaningful life you deserve. Reach out and we'll navigate this journey together.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or your relationships? You’re not alone. Between chronic stress, systemic inequities, and the emotional labor of simply getting through the day, it can be hard to know where to begin. If you’re here, something in you is ready for change. I’m a Black male therapist in NYC providing trauma-informed online therapy to adults across New York State. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, racial and cultural identity concerns, relationship challenges, and the emotional impact of discrimination and marginalization. Many of my clients are Black men, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and young adults seeking care that feels affirming, honest, and grounded. My approach is culturally responsive, collaborative, and relational. Together, we explore patterns shaped by past experiences while also building practical tools to support emotional resilience, self-trust, and meaningful change in the present. Therapy with me is a space where you do not need to code-switch, shrink, or perform. You get to show up as you are. If this resonates, I invite you to visit my website to learn more about my work and schedule a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

By providing safe and supportive space in therapy, I empower clients to feel good about themselves, build resiliency and take steps towards greater happiness.

College, graduate school, and early adulthood can be exciting, but they can also feel overwhelming. You may be struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, loneliness, relationship challenges, questions about your identity, or the pressure to keep up academically while managing everything else in your life. For some students, adjusting to life away from home, navigating independence, or recovering from difficult experiences such as trauma, sexual assault, or substance use concerns can make this time especially challenging. At Modern Talk, we specialize in working with college students, graduate students, and emerging adults. Our clinicians understand the unique demands of this stage of life and have extensive experience helping students navigate both everyday stressors and more complex emotional challenges. Several members of our team have worked within university counseling settings, including New York University's Wellness Exchange, supporting students through academic, social, and personal transitions. Whether you're looking for support during a difficult period, trying to better understand yourself, or hoping to build healthier coping skills and relationships, we're here to help. We provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly, gain insight, and develop tools to navigate challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including trauma, eating disorders, OCD, relationship struggles, and academic stress. I am attuned to the role oppression plays in my patients' lives and am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I enjoy working with students, artists and people with creative practices, those undergoing life transitions, and people seeking to understand intergenerational sources of suffering. My style is warm and nonjudgmental. I am guided by the belief that each person contains inherent strengths and knowledge, and that a primary goal of treatment is to allow for the expression of this unique experience. In our work together, we will move between past and present to understand what it’s like to be you. We will look carefully at your struggles, as well as how you love and dream. This diligent attention to your experience can result in satisfying and often surprising changes in personal, creative, and professional endeavors. In time, this knowledge of the self may also reduce symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and physical pain. I am a New York State licensed master social worker and graduated with honors from Silberman School of Social Work. I am a candidate in adult psychoanalysis at the Contemporary Freudian Society. I have also been trained in the treatment of eating disorders. I have worked with people of diverse racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexuality, and class backgrounds. I invite you to reach out to me.
