About

I am a New York State and Connecticut Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a National Certified Counselor (NCC), Board Certified–TeleMental Health provider (BC-TMH), and am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (C-DBT). I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions, allowing you to engage in therapy from the comfort, privacy, and convenience of your own space—wherever you feel most at ease. My work is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Through a collaborative and non-judgmental process, I help clients reconnect with their strengths, clarify what truly matters to them, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. We will explore your goals at your own pace, strengthening your inner motivation and confidence. I incorporate practical, evidence-based skills to help you regulate emotions, tolerate distress, improve relationships, and develop greater mindfulness and balance in your daily life. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-doubt, or feeling stuck, therapy with Guiding River Mental Health Counseling, PLLC is a space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. Together, we will focus on helping you build insight, resilience, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are and who you want to become. This is not about being “fixed”—it’s about feeling supported as you grow, heal, and move forward. If you’re ready to begin, I’m here to walk alongside you.
