I have over 15 years of psychotherapy experience as an LCSW-R based in NY. I enjoy working with ages 12 and over focusing on life transitions, anxiety related concerns, sports performance, as well as many other areas of need. I want to help clients find the best version of themselves and be able to find success in their treatment goals.
A first session will include engaging in a discussion about the clients reasons for joining treatment and collecting a brief psychosocial history. We will then delve into treatment goals and objectives to tailor a plan for future sessions.
Having worked with a spectrum of ages and client goals for treatment I can offer a wealth of experience focused on goal directed outcomes. My style is direct, supportive and compassionate.
I enjoy working with those who are interested in learning how to utilize coping skills to improve their life functioning. My clients are motivated to make improvements in their lives but need someone to process with them on how best to do this.
My general approach utilizes CBT as a way to encourage looking at how our thoughts and behaviors impact our lives. I have been a practicing clinician for over 15 years and have been trained in CBT and trauma informed CBT. I am also focused on using CBT methods for those engaged in sports performance.
