HI I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker , I am licensed in New York and Delaware and I have been a Social Worker since 2001. I graduated from Hunter College School of Social Work in 2001 and I have worked in the field of mental health at various New York CIty agencies, including NYC Dept of Corrections, Administration for Children Services and as hospital discharge planner. I started my private practice ten years ago .
Our first session is all about YOU as well as the second. We both will get to know other and we focus on what areas you want to work on. I a intake form is filled out prior to our first meeting and we discuss your future goals and why therapy and why now ?
One of my greatest strengths helping my client feel relaxed. The session is a place for them to be themselves and not filled with judgment or shame for anything they want to share with me. My sessions offer grounding techniques, etc, meditation and mindfulness. I want my clients to leave the session with feeling relieved that were able to discuss their biggest fears . I believe in " Healing from the get go ". A AEDP approach.
Two year certification in Integrated Trauma from Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy
I am EMDR trained and working towards certification. I use this approach for clients who have un-regulated nervous system from trauma, anxiety and depression. They may have trauma that is unprocessed and it is a hinderance that affects their daily lives.
Help client use their parts in overcoming past trauma by helping them heal from their protective and wounded parts.
