I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist Candidate based in New York. My aim as a psychotherapist is to walk with you on your journey towards greater self-awareness, improved outlook, and to help you develop the skills you need to better manage your own challenges to live a more fulfilling life with renewed empowerment.

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

In order to get an understanding of you needs, all first sessions consist of a biopsychosocial assessment. This included obtaining information of your background, family dynamics, past traumas, and the main reason why you are seeking therapy.

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

I am in tune with others' feelings and believe in the self-determination the those who I counsel. My insightfulness, compassion, and many years of clinical experience help me to help others envision and achieve their goals.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)

Since 2010, I have been applying CBT interventions to help others identify specific issues related to repetitive negative thinking. Some of the interventions I apply include are: cognitive restructuring; guided discovery; exposure therapy; journaling; activity scheduling and behavior activation; relaxation and stress reduction techniques; and role playing.

Trauma Informed Care

Since 2010, I have been applying trauma informed care into my practice with others who have directly experienced or have witnessed a traumatic event that has had a profound negative impact. Some of the applications for this treatment modality are: patient empowerment; choice; collaboration; safety; and trustworthiness.
