Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with licenses spanning across multiple states including New York, Florida, and Massachusetts. Over the course of the past 14 years, I have been dedicated to assisting individuals on their personal journeys. I acquired my master's degree from Adelphi University in Long Island, New York. My philosophy revolves around fostering an empathetic partnership with individuals, steering clear of judgment, and supporting your growth and goal achievement. Currently, I am exclusively offering telehealth services.

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

During our initial session, we will explore challenges you are facing and the areas of your life causing distress. Together, we will discuss the goals you have set for yourself and identify where you feel I can provide support. I strongly believe in the transformative nature of a supportive therapeutic connection and endeavor to establish an atmosphere where clients feel valued, acknowledged, and comprehended. My therapeutic approach is tailored and inclusive, incorporating a range of proven methods and approaches to address the specific requirements of every person.

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

When we are in an uncomfortable or painful place, we often struggle to find the solutions to our problems. Sometimes our emotions feel so intense, we can’t seem to sort out the next steps to get us feeling better. As a Therapist, one of my greatest strengths is my ability to help you formulate a plan of action to help you begin to feel more peaceful. My goal is to help clients identify life stressors/challenges and guide them to select the most effective response to their problems. I focus on the client's strengths rather than weaknesses or deficits, while building self-esteem and skills sets, resources and coping abilities that would help in reaching future goals.

My treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I support clients in maintaining focus on the present moment and embracing thoughts and emotions without criticism. In my therapeutic role, I guide individuals in navigating challenging emotions, enabling them to channel their energy into healing rather than fixating on negativity. I aid clients in acknowledging situations beyond their personal control and engaging in actions that enhance their lives. I provide mindfulness strategies and interventions to facilitate this process.
