Greetings! Thank you for visiting my Grow Therapy profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York and Texas with over 30 years of experience in mental health, substance abuse/misuse and have experience with first responder and military populations. I graduated with a Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D) Social Work from Yeshiva University, an Advanced Clinical Social Worker Certificate from New York University (NYU), a Masters of Social Work from Adelphi University, and undergraduate degree in Psychology from Long Island University (LIU) in New York. I specialize in working with teens and adults coping with life stressors related to personal relationships, life changes, work-related issues, stress/anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and trauma. I have diverse experience from a variety of treatment settings. I have worked as a school-based social worker in both a school-based mental health center and as a social work consultant, worked with soldiers and their families on military installations, first responders and their families and worked in outpatient/day program mental health clinics. I am also an Assistant Professor of Practice at the University of Texas at Arlington.
I believe that each person entering therapy is seeking to find the answers for their lives that will enhance their ability to have the best life possible. Life happens and then each of us need to figure it out. Sometimes we need someone to come along side on our journey to help us find our best way forward. Remember, life is a journey, not a destination. I look forward to working with you! https://provider.growtherapy.com/dashboard#:~:text=reception%2BDr.4635%40growtherapy.com.
