Hello! Thanks for reading my bio! I received my Master’s degree from Fordham University. I have been actively working in the field of clinical social work since 2001 and have experience working in a variety of settings. I hope I can provide you with a safe, nurturing space to help you address whatever you are going through! I have treated adults who have dealt with a range of issues, i.e. anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship and career instability, bereavement and more. I have also worked successfully with couples to help them learn skills for improved communication.
