I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY, CT, and NJ. I have worked with clients to help them overcome stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ identity, and depression. I enjoy working with individuals who want to work on healing to become a better self and accomplish their goals.

I specifically love working with men who identify as gay and/or bisexual having increased stress and need talk therapy.

First session

In our first session, we can start on introducing ourselves and discussion what brings you to therapy. How can I assist with some of the specific difficulties you may be experiencing? This will help me identify what I can do as a clinician to create a plan for us to follow-up in future sessions.

Strengths

Having worked with individuals for the past 10 years who have struggled with their mental health and substance-use difficulties has made me a better provider. I also feel that helping individuals during moments of crisis helps their realize their self-worth and strengths.

Ideal clients

I love working with clients who identify as LGBTQ+, persons of color, have difficulty managing stress and anxiety, and individuals who strive to work on themselves to increased their sense of self-awareness and accomplish their goals.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

It helps individuals change some negative thoughts and/or behaviors significantly impacting their daily functions. It is also a goal-oriented approach to help individuals achieve some goals they have.

Motivational Interviewing

I have used this method to help people explore some of their behavior that is impacting their way of life.

Strength-Based

I have worked with individuals reflect and build on their strengths and resiliency. It also allows the person(s) to recognize their willingness and ability to push through difficult situations.

Without a doubt the best therapy sessions I have ever had. Very warm, light hearted but direct. Very intellectual. Our sessions always make me dive deeper into rooted issues that play apart of the surface level problems. Love how he softly but clearly delivers his message. Very good at what he does. I have dealt with trauma my whole life but he is helping so much. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about this man. He has taught me so much and he breaks it down so it's digestible. He is a very interesting, intelligent, and wise beyond his years as a therapist. Its so good to have someone that understands the unique LGBT issues and he can help me navigate through them. Five out of five stars.
