As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly two decades of dedicated service, I bring a wealth of experience in guiding adolescents, adults, and families through challenging times. My career has been shaped by roles within Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice settings in New York City, where I honed my skills in trauma-related disorders, anxiety, depression, parent/child relationships, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. My therapeutic approach is founded on principles of openness and compassion. I am committed to providing evidence-based therapy tailored to teens, adults, and families' unique needs.
Drawing from extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Structural Family Therapy, I integrate these methodologies to foster meaningful and sustainable change. Beyond therapy, I also offer Clinical Supervision services for clinicians in NY, NJ, PA, and CT.
In a world where prioritizing self-care can often feel like a luxury, my philosophy centers on the belief that everyone deserves a life worth living. I aim to collaborate with you to achieve your objectives, navigate challenges, and provide a safe space for exploration and growth. Together, we can uncover solutions, foster resilience, and facilitate change.
