Hi I’m a licensed clinical social worker in NY! I’ve been licensed to practice for 6 years but have been in this role professionally and personally most of my life. Important to know about me- I will hold you accountable; I will push you to own your strengths while also validating the struggles you face. I believe, when it comes to change, you already have everything you need; it’s just a matter of accessing it.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session I love the opportunity to get to know you. So this is an opportunity for Q&A but also I am interested in getting to know you at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths is recognizing I as a provider am in this field due to my own experiences and understanding there is opportunity for both of us to learn. Also while I have experience and education, this is your ship and I will go where you steer. You are the captain, so where are we headed?
