Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York City. I received my Masters in Social Work from Adelphi University in Garden City and have been practicing for over 10 years. I have experience working with adults , adolescents, children, families and couples. I have a deep passion with improving their outlook on life obstacles.
In our first session together, we'll start with playing what I call the " Get to know you Game" then dive into the specific challenges you're facing, This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked in culturally diverse backgrounds for over 10 years, I have a deep passion to service others. I truly enjoy working with people by using empathy and collaboration in the problem solving process.
I incorporate various therapy techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to aid individuals in recognizing and cultivating meaningful relationships with their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
I utilize different therapy approaches, like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to aid individuals in advancing their understanding and proficiency in managing emotions, coping with distress, enhancing interpersonal skills, and cultivating mindfulness in their lives and interactions.
I employ evidence-based techniques in family therapy to gain a deep understanding of the family system and effectively guide them towards achieving a harmonious balance of communication and function. My approach emphasizes enhancing the overall interactions between family members as a cohesive unit, rather than solely focusing on individual family members.
Group therapy provides a unique opportunity to create an environment where people can openly participate, express their thoughts, and gain different perspectives, support, and encouragement while being guided by a therapist. It is a space where individuals come together to talk about their concerns or worries, gain a better understanding of their own situations, and learn from each other's experiences. Group therapy focuses on building connections between members, providing opportunities for growth and transformation.
Building strong relationships is essential for a fulfilling life, and counseling provides couples with a valuable opportunity to lay a solid foundation and nurture their bond from the very beginning. No matter where individuals and couples find themselves in their journey, counseling offers a precious opportunity for personal growth and relationship investment.
