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 .

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

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 ?

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

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.
