Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with over 10 years in the field of social work in a wide range of roles. I specialize in perinatal mental health, supporting individuals and families during pregnancy and the postpartum period. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to meet your unique needs as you navigate this transformative journey into parenthood.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our initial session, we'll begin with introductions before delving into the unique experiences you're facing in your perinatal journey. This will enable me to craft a personalized plan to address your needs in subsequent sessions, ensuring we navigate this transformative period together effectively. In our first session, and in subsequent sessions, you can expect a safe and supportive environment where we'll work together to address whatever challenges you're facing. My goal is to empower you to navigate this transformative time with confidence and resilience.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my decade-long experience, coupled with firsthand understanding of postpartum challenges through my own journeys. With extensive training in perinatal care and a commitment to client-centered approaches, I foster a warm and supportive environment where every individual's unique cultural background is respected and honored. Moreover, my comprehensive knowledge of resources ensures that I can guide you effectively through your perinatal journey, empowering you to navigate this transformative period with confidence and support.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

In my practice, I integrate strengths-based therapy by collaboratively identifying clients' assets and resources. By reframing challenges as opportunities for growth, empowering clients to leverage their strengths, and fostering hope, I facilitate positive change and resilience. This approach promotes client autonomy and enhances therapeutic outcomes in a supportive environment.

Trauma-Focused CBT

In my practice, I implement trauma-focused CBT by sensitively addressing trauma-related symptoms. Through psycho-education, cognitive restructuring, and gradual exposure techniques, I help clients process traumatic experiences and develop coping skills. By emphasizing safety, empowerment, and gradual healing, I support clients in reclaiming control over their lives and achieving recovery.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I apply Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) by integrating mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. By teaching practical strategies for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, I help clients cultivate resilience and enhance their quality of life. This approach fosters self-awareness, emotional stability, and adaptive coping mechanisms. I have specialized training with DBT with a perinatal focus in the group therapy environment as well.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

I prioritize culturally sensitive therapy, which means I respect and consider each client's cultural background, beliefs, and values. By understanding and honoring cultural differences, I create a safe and inclusive space where clients feel understood and respected. Together, we explore how culture influences their experiences and work collaboratively to address their needs while celebrating their unique identities.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I embrace Person-Centered Therapy, by prioritizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. I create a warm and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel understood and accepted. By empowering clients to explore their feelings and experiences at their own pace, I support their self-discovery and personal growth journey.
