LCSW, 10 years of experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Rutgers University. I am Certified in Advanced Trauma. I've worked in social service in NYC and NJ. I have over 14 years of experience. My experience ranges from working in Substance Abuse, Residential treatment for adults/children, Veterans, Child Welfare, Crisis Management, Medical Social Work, Mental Health counseling, and Psychotherapy.
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, and then discuss the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My greatest strength as a provider is making my clients feel comfortable. I create a safe space for them to express their raw emotions without feeling judged.
I enjoy working with individuals who are eager to improve their mental, emotional, and physical functioning but lack the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about making changes.
I've been using CBT for over 10 yrs. CBT explores a person thought patterns. I use CBT to understand why my client's view of life and then we work together to challenge/discuss alternate ways of thinking.
