Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York. I received my Master's Degree from Kean University in NJ and have been practicing since 2004. I work with emerging adults (20 and up) to the elderly. I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression and past trauma issues to move through their struggles and live their best life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will chat some to start to get to know each other. We will discuss reasons that you are seeking treatment at this time and I will ask you some brief questions about your life up to this point. Then we'll discuss what you are hoping to get out of therapy to start your treatment plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Throughout my years of practice I have developed a great understanding of the biology behind anxiety, depression and trauma responses. This has led to pinpointing interventions and skills that are most helpful when someone is wanting to reduce their mental health symptoms and improve their daily living. Also, in my practice I have learned that having a very open and easy flowing back and forth is best. In session if you need to cry- do it, if you need to use “creative language”- do it, if something is funny- we’ll laugh together. We will walk together on this journey!
