Licensed to practice in New York and accepts 47 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience as a therapist. I have worked with adults, adolescents, and children from various backgrounds in community mental health clinics and private practices. I understand that having the courage to seek help can be challenging. I believe in the importance of establishing a safe therapeutic relationship. I am here to support you by applying my knowledge and expertise to help you identify the core of your difficulties and effectively cope with your challenges. I use evidence-based tools that empower you to improve your overall functioning.
In our first session, we learn about each other and our expectations. I will review your history and current life challenges. We will aim for a deeper understanding and the core of what you would like to transform.
My greatest strength as a provider is helping individuals, couples, children, and adolescents explore and increase understanding of their difficulties treating anxiety, depression, and/or trauma exploring coping strategies to address issues holding back personal and family progress and growth.
I love working with adults who are motivated to improve their relationships with themselves and others. They often feel anxious, depressed, and irritable with challenges with their families and work.
