I have more than 20 years treating trauma, early childhood issues, and relationship problems. I graduated with honors from New York University in Master of Social Work with concentration in Clinical Social Work. I am what they call "a seasoned therapist", with many years of experience providing psychotherapy while keeping up my knowledge and training in the latest evidenced based techniques and theories. I have an excellent success record and I hope you give the opportunity to work together in finding your path to peace, tranquility and success.
I have assisted adolescents to find their way to succeed in school, socially and in the relationships with adults during the past 20 plus years of my professional life. A great part of my work with adolescents ( and adults) has been in trauma, loss and separation issues too. Trauma significantly hampers the chances of success and happiness at personal, emotional, and economic levels. Trauma has been linked to serious mental and physical illnesses making its treatment a priority.
