Hello and thanks for looking at my profile! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an R, which mean I did 6-years post-Master's experience under the supervision of an LCSW, and I can bill under Medicare and Medicaid. I attended New York University and received my MSW degree in 1992. I have 34 years of experience in many different disciplines. I have supervised students in social work internships and social workers in NY obtaining their clinical licensure. I have worked with people across the lifespan. For 18 years, I was a college Adjunct Professor at Fordham University and CUNY. so I work well with college-aged adults too.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients will have the opportunity to discuss what brought them to treatment. I will begin to work to build trust and support clients by explaining the platform, tools I like to use, and review what they are looking for to enhance their therapeutic experience.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have 34 years of experience across the lifespan with many different diagnoses. I think I work hard to have the client do the work to learn the tools to get better, so they do not become reliant on the therapist for this. I have been known to create a safe space for my clients respecting all of the values of social work and the Code of Ethics.
