About me
HI I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker , I am licensed in New York , New Jersey, Pennslyvania and Delaware and I have been a Social Worker since 2001. I graduated from Hunter College School of Social Work and I have worked in the mental health for over 30 years.I provide psychotherapy with an eclectic, person-centered, and non-judgemental approach. I provide a safe, secure, and empathetic warm environment. The world can be scary, cold, and insensitive place to be and there is a lot of uncertainty going around, but together we can get through it. I have a certificate in Intergerated Trauma , newly trained in EMDR, and AEDP as well. i am also part of the BIPOC community. I also have experience working with LGBT community, relationships, intimacy issues, and attachment issues , career difficulties, coaching, and compassion fatigue. My clinical approach includes CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, Trauma, abuse and family conflict. I use Zoom, Face time, Doxyme and Google Meet.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is all about YOU as well as the second. We both will get to know other and we focus on what areas you want to work on. I a intake form is filled out prior to our first meeting and we discuss your future goals and why therapy and why now ?
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One of my greatest strengths is helping my client feel understood, judgment-free and comfortable while in the therapy room. The session is a place for them to be themselves and not filled with any type of judgment or shame from anything they want to share with me. My sessions offer grounding techniques, etc, meditation and mindfulness. I want my clients to leave the session feeling relieved and lighter. I believe in " Healing from the get go ". A AEDP approach.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
We are all wired to heal. No matter what happened in our past , we can not go back. We can only move on, change our trajectory and become the person who are destined to be . Great, unstoppable and resilient.

The provider did not seem prepared or knowledgeable about the platform, making the session feel secondary. Once settled, questions were read from a paper and felt impersonal, with little effort to genuinely get to know me. I did not feel safe opening up during a vulnerable time. There was no eye contact, and the interaction felt transactional. The appointment was canceled because she forgot, rescheduled two hours later, and she was still late. My time and situation did not feel respected.
