Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with over 15 years of clinical experience. My passion is being a mental health practitioner where I am gratefully given the opportunity to encounter all walks of life and support their experiences called life. I love to learn and consider myself a constant student of anyone that comes into my existence. I find myself as a human first and therapist second when I “step into” my work as a psychotherapist. .

A bit about my approach to therapy

Courage resides in the vulnerability of ones’ actions, and this is the real work of life. I am fully equipped with an extensive knowledge base of theories and evidence- based practices including but not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, trauma informed therapy, client centered therapy which inherently possess strength- based characteristics.

I started my mental health career in community mental health where I created a strong diagnostic assessment paradigm.

What you can expect from our first session

. Pain can manifest in any and many forms. I am willing to sit with you and encourage you to understand that you possess the solution to your discomfort. Through my years of practice, I have a multitude of suggestions to share that have worked for others.

I believe that we all try our best at any given time, even if it is not “one’s best.” Let’s work on it together and I know you will get different results
