Welcome! With seven years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in upstate New York, I possess expertise in working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I acknowledge the bravery required to seek therapy and am committed to supporting you every step of the way. Throughout my career, I have assisted many clients in overcoming struggles with depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, strained family relationships, and more. My objective is to establish a safe, empathetic, and respectful space for clients.
At our initial meeting, we will initiate the therapeutic relationship-building process. I will create a safe and empathetic space where trust is established. We will start building rapport, conduct needs-based assessments, and define goals.
I strive to create a secure and non-judgmental space where clients feel at ease sharing their challenges. I offer techniques to alter and challenge thoughts and behaviors that impact your mental health.
Implementing CBT can help individuals understand and challenge negative thoughts and thinking patterns and develop positive thinking patterns and coping skills.
I believe an excellent therapist you have to work with compassion and understanding. Being compassionate for clients can set a great foundation for a therapeutic relationship.
Internal Family Systems is an approach to psychotherapy that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities within each person’s mental system. Internal Family Systems focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the sub-personalities and the Self.
Our focus in sessions will begin by focusing on areas of your life you want to work on that are affecting you currently.
