LCSW, 10 years of experience
Hello. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) based in New York with ten years experience working with adults, 18 and above, who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship problems, job stress, anger, and other issues. At times, we all have overwhelming feelings of stress, worry, or grief. When you are ready to leave those feelings behind, I'll be here to help.
In our first session together, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy and what you might want to get from it. Some people aren't sure at that point, and that's fine. We'll discover the answer together. We'll discuss your personal and family history, where you are currently in your life, and what you might like the future to look like. That information will allow us to choose, together, the path our work will take. It will be my privilege to accompany you on this journey.
I strive to create a comfortable environment where my client feels safe and supported, and is also challenged when the situation requires it. I start "where the client is" and move forward from there.
My ideal client is one who is ready to consider making changes and is willing to learn the tools to make those changes.
I use an integrative approach to therapy. Each person is considered in their entirety and my counseling techniques are tailored to your individual needs and personal circumstances.
Where appropriate and following resourcing, EMDR is used to help clients reprocess traumatic memories.
Particularly helpful in cases of anxiety and/or depression, CBT helps clients find a new way of managing their thoughts and feelings.
