I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated with my Master's Degree from Adelphi University. I have over a decade of experience working with adults and adolescents dealing with depression, anxiety, and trauma in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have expertise with concerns of aging, chronic health, new diagnosis, and caregiver needs. I specialize in using short-term solution-focused treatment to assist my clients in finding ways to reduce their symptoms and distress and identify solutions.
My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where clients can talk about their experiences. I understand that everyone's journey to healing is different. Through active listening, I work with my clients to identify their individual goals and complete unique and specific treatment plans. I'll work with my clients, utilizing different techniques and interventions to assist them in moving toward their goals.
Having worked with clients for over a decade, I can tailor interventions and exercises to individual needs and preferences, providing personalized treatment plans for each client.
I have used CBT in my practice to teach my client specific skills that empowers them to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, leading to improved emotional well-being and functioning.
