LCSW, 11 years of experience
I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY, CT, and NJ. I have worked with clients to help them overcome stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ identity, and depression. I enjoy working with individuals who want to work on healing to become a better self and accomplish their goals. I specifically love working with men who identify as gay and/or bisexual having increased stress and need talk therapy.
In our first session, we can start on introducing ourselves and discussion what brings you to therapy. How can I assist with some of the specific difficulties you may be experiencing? This will help me identify what I can do as a clinician to create a plan for us to follow-up in future sessions.
Having worked with individuals for the past 10 years who have struggled with their mental health and substance-use difficulties has made me a better provider. I also feel that helping individuals during moments of crisis helps their realize their self-worth and strengths.
I love working with clients who identify as LGBTQ+, persons of color, have difficulty managing stress and anxiety, and individuals who strive to work on themselves to increased their sense of self-awareness and accomplish their goals.
It helps individuals change some negative thoughts and/or behaviors significantly impacting their daily functions. It is also a goal-oriented approach to help individuals achieve some goals they have.
I have used this method to help people explore some of their behavior that is impacting their way of life.
I have worked with individuals reflect and build on their strengths and resiliency. It also allows the person(s) to recognize their willingness and ability to push through difficult situations.
