Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in upstate New York. I bring seven years of experience working with children, adolescents and young adults. I can understand the courage it takes to reach out for therapy and here to help you every step of the way. Throughout my career I have helped many clients struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, strained family relationships, and more. My goal is to provide a space for clients to feel safe, heard, and respected.
In our first session together, we will work on building a therapeutic relationship. I will create an empathetic space where trust and safety are created. We will begin building rapport, complete assessments based on your needs, and setting goals.
I have strived to create a space for clients feel safe and comfortable sharing challenges they may face and free of judgement. I offer skills to change/challenge thoughts and behaviors that are impacting your overall mental health.
Implementing CBT can help individuals understand and challenge negative thoughts and thinking patterns and develop positive thinking patterns and coping skills.
I believe an excellent therapist you have to work with compassion and understanding. Being compassionate for clients can set a great foundation for a therapeutic relationship.
Internal Family Systems is an approach to psychotherapy that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities within each person’s mental system. Internal Family Systems focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring mental balance and harmony by changing the dynamics that create discord among the sub-personalities and the Self.
Our focus in sessions will begin by focusing on areas of your life you want to work on that are affecting you currently.
