I can help you navigate the emotional and behavioral changes that will enable you to achieve your identified goals.
Living with mental or emotional health issues can be overwhelming for anyone.

As a dedicated and motivated Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State with experience helping older adults, the mentally ill, people with substance use disorders, the disabled, immigrants, the chronically ill, and hospice, I have utilized clinical and cross-cultural therapeutic modalities to empower and motivate positive change in people to live their best possible lives.

My theoretical orientation is integrative, which means I use a combination of humanistic, solution-focused, person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness based /contemplative approaches, stress management, and insight oriented techniques-depending on the needs of the client. I understand how critical the relationship between client and therapist is to the success of the therapeutic experience. As such, my hope always is to provide a warm, empathetic, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment-one in which my clients will feel safe and encouraged to build trust and work towards self-empowerment. To that end, I employ a collaborative, strengths-oriented approach.

I recognize trauma's role in the outlook, emotions and behavior of a person and can help them begin their journey of healing.
Life can be overwhelming. Sometimes we need to slow down and breathe. I believe it is important to learn how to be still and feel your feelings without judgement or shame. I provide a safe environment that will allow you to process, manage and integrate your life experience, find solid ground and ultimately, thrive.

I approach therapy as a form of collaboration that can spark change. Whether you are looking to discover the best version of yourself or overcome a challenging experience, we can tailor our time to best meet your needs. Painful thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns can interfere with being able to experience contentment in life. These difficulties can prevent us from attaining our personal or professional goals and often start to damage our relationships with the ones we love. By understanding and becoming aware of your underlying beliefs and emotions, we can explore how to best move towards acceptance and change in your life.

This can be achieved by learning to alter one's thoughts, one's behavior, or by looking closely at the past with greater understanding and self-compassion in order to move forward.
My work is shaped by the knowledge that we all have the capacity to grow and learn through our life experiences. I believe that sometimes our most difficult experiences can bring us our greatest life lessons. I work collaboratively with children, adolescents, and adults to build on strengths, develop new strategies, and work to remove obstacles holding them back from reaching their fullest potential in life.
