Overwhelming life experiences? Stop right here. I have a few questions for you. Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel? Like shouting "I give up!" or wanting to trade in your life for a whole new one? If any of this applies to you I am so glad you stopped by my page. I am a dedicated therapist who has been through a thing or two myself. I have a variety of life experiences that make it easy for me to relate to others. I use a trauma informed; strength based; integrative approach. I have been doing this for awhile and still love it! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of New York. Although I specialize in helping people who have experienced trauma; I also really love to help people get organized. I am able to assist with a lot other things as well.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session we will get to know each other a little better. We will talk about your reasons for coming and what you hope to accomplish. We will go through a biopsychosocial assessment process together. I will ask you questions and answer any questions you may have. We will initiate a goal to guide our time together. In subsequent sessions: I will check in to see how you are doing; we will review any homework and implement our agreed upon plan.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I will bring enthusiasm! I truly care, and I am very genuine. People have told me I am a good listener, easy to talk to, and innovative. My greatest strength is my passion for helping people to grow and heal. I really enjoy it! My goal is positive impact. I would consider it an absolute blessing to be able to help you on your healing journey. I hope to hear from you soon!

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Overwhelming life experiences? Stop right here. I am a trauma informed therapist who can assist with a variety of issues. I am always learning new things and updating my skills in order to offer the most current information and researched techniques. I have multiple ways to address issues and will tailor them to fit your needs. We will start where you are and work on what you want to address. We will continue to check for other needs as we go along. I really enjoy coming alongside to assist others. I will listen to your concerns with empathy and understanding. We will use your strengths to build up areas of your life that you desire to improve. We will formulate a plan and set goals to help you to move forward. As you move forward I will come along side you to encourage and empower to reach your goals. I want you to be able to afford therapy so I offer a sliding scale fee on the honor system. The bottle chart is how we will determine your session fees. I will send it to you before we start and you simply pick the bottle that best describes your current life situation. Then we will decide your fee from that information.
