Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), practicing in sunny South Florida. I am originally from New York, but have lived here in the sunshine state for over a decade. I focus my practice on assisting young adults navigate through various struggles including but not limited to: adjustment difficulties due to life changes, educational transitions, anxiety and depression, obesssive-compulsive-disorder, alcoholism/addiction, trauma and PTSD. My clients would describe me as a down to earth, thoughtful, interesting, and fun individual! I use a client-centered approach, in combination with CBT, strengths-based, and solution-focused therapy modalities. I am highly dedicated to my clients and enjoy working with and aiding in the newfound process of healing, stability, and growth. I look forward to getting to know you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, it is very important we begin to establish a connection and therapeutic alliance. Basic and brief introductions come first, followed by discussing the challenges and difficulties you may be facing, only when you are comfortable doing so! This will help me to create a unique and structured plan to commence in the following sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Since I was a child, I always had an affinity to connect with people. As a therapist this has grown into a personal strength aiding with building a strong therapeutic bond with my clients. Additionally, my sense of humor (when suitable!) has been my major strength I incorporate into my practice. My clients appreciate both my structured and concise therapeutic presentation, as well the ability to make things appropriately fun and engaging!
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with young adults who are making that fun and exciting, yet scary transition into adulthood! I empower my clients to become the best version of themselves, assisting in developing the appropriate insight and tools necessary to succeed at whatever situational or personal struggles they may be facing.
