Hello, I'm a LIcensed Clinical Social Worker, based in New Jersey. I received my MSW from Rutgers University in 2001. I worked for Rutgers University for many years, as an administrator and in clinical research as a therapist. I work with both individuals and couples. The theraputic process is grounded in our relationship. I work collaboratively with all of my clients. We will do an initial assessment, discuss goals and then work toward them. Taking the first step into therapy is often the most challenging. Once you've gotten past that we will work on building a relationship and helping you move towards your goals.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together we get to know each other and determine whether working together feels like a good fit. We will discuss what is bringing you into therapy as well as begin the collaborative assessment process. This will help us determine what goals you want to address and which ones have the highest prioity.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I value the connection and collaboration that we will create in our therapeutic realtionship. You are the expert on you. I am here to listen to what is coming up for you, and together we will discuss how you want to move forward. There are lot of ways to facilitate change. We will find the way that feels the best to you and move in that direction.
