I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York with over 18 years of experience working as a therapist and life coach. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, relationships/parenting and more.
My counseling style is open, respectful and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I believe we all need help at times. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client- centered, and Trauma focused counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
