I am a licensed clinical social worker, based in New York, with over a decade of experience. I am knowledgeable in a variety of diagnoses and managing 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. I have experience working with a wide range of ages.

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 it 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 15 minute consult and we speak to see if we're a good fit.

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 my 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 better your life.
