It takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out to a therapist for help with life's difficult challenges, and to find hope in the midst of struggle. It is my joy as a therapist, and as a human being, to help individuals find that hope within themselves. I have many years of experience helping individuals of all ages with anxiety, depression, relationship and communication issues, anger management, PTSD, childhood trauma, ADHD, substance use and grief and loss. I especially enjoy working with young people trying to navigate these challenges. I also work with couples and older adults. Grief and loss is an area of expertise.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience providing trauma-focused therapy to individuals . My work includes supporting adults, adolescents, and children as they navigate the effects of trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other complex emotional experiences.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of presenting at numerous national conferences on topics ranging from dissociative disorders to human sex trafficking. These experiences have deepened my commitment to understanding the nuanced and layered ways trauma can shape a person’s sense of self, relationships, and overall well-being.

Hello, I'm Ronda, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in working with immigrant and first-generation adults navigating family dynamics, personal growth, and emotional wellness in New York City.
My approach is warm, supportive, and practical. I utilize evidence-based approaches including CBT, EMDR, ACT, etc, to help clients process difficult experiences, improve emotional regulation, strengthen boundaries, and develop healthier coping strategies.
Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear successful outwardly while internally struggling with worry, emotional exhaustion, self-doubt, or unresolved childhood experiences. Therapy with me provides a space to gain insight, build confidence, and create meaningful change.
My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, emotionally balanced, and empowered in their daily lives.
