I am a licensed clinical social worker, based in New York, with over a decade of experience. I'm knowledgeable in a variety of diagnoses and and in how to manage a range of concerns from difficulty with daily living to severe mental illness. I have worked in an inpatient hospital, outpatient clinics, schools, residential treatment facility, correctional facility, and in client's home.

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

In our first session together, I like to discuss what therapy is all about and how I can be helpful to you. An important part of therapy is building a trusting relationship. If the relationship doesn't work everything else is much harder. So my profile is intentionally brief because instead of reading through a bunch of stuff ... why not schedule a session to see if we're a good fit. We can use the first 15 minutes to decide if we should continue.

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

I understand the value of someone sharing their story. I don't take for granted that you may be sharing your most inner thoughts and secrets and you chose to do it with me. I have been successful at building strong therapeutic relationships. I believe this success is because I don't enter a session as an expert, although I have practical and academic knowledge, but as a listening ear who's also cheering you on to bettering your life.
