I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the profession of offering support and guidance to others for 10+ years. I graduated from SUNY Stonybrook with a B.A. in Psychology, and a specialization in Child and Family Studies; I earned a MSW degree from CUNY Lehman, later obtaining clinical licensure. Some of my counseling experiences stem from managing stress/anxiety and symptoms of depression, family conflict, anger management, life transitions, challenges with body image, self-esteem, improving communication skills, women's issues, and challenges with parenting, among others.
Through a humanistic approach based in solution-focused therapy, I am able to actively listen and assist with various challenges from a place of non-judgment, honesty, and a strengths-based perspective . Sessions are centered around your needs and personalized goal planning.
As a culturally competent therapist, I am a firm believer that EVERY client deserves to be treated with respect and dignity in every circumstance; this is the only foundation for truly successful therapy.
I look forward to walking with you on your journey toward positive mental health.
