I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both the states of New York and Florida. I am a Master's Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) in the State of Florida and a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) in the State of New York. I have accumulated thirty-six (36) years of counseling experience. I earned a lot of this experience while I worked at Spofford Juvenile Detention Center and Riker's Island Correctional Facility in New York City. In 2008, I was graduated from Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Service with a Master's Degree in Social Work. My internship at Creedmoor Psychiatric Center focused on consumers who presented with dual diagnoses. Upon graduation, I worked for the Queens Hospital Center's outpatient alcohol clinic at the NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation in Queens, NY. Afterwards, I worked for Zucker Hillside Day Program at Northwell in Glen Oaks on Long Island. To conclude, I have been with Betterhelp for the past three (3) years. I earned my undergraduate degree in English from the State University of New York at Buffalo. My studies prepared me well with an improved perspective on relationships. I work within therapeutic relationships that are based genuinely in equality, fairness, and respectfulness. Because of this preparation, I selected Motivational Interviewing (MI), a Strengths Perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my primary approaches. My relationships are not ordinate-subordinate, normal-abnormal, or superior-inferior. I am a multi-faceted therapist who does not approach clients with one-size-fits-all and cookie cutter treatments. I treat individuals with the utmost sensitivity while assessing their presenting issues. I look forward to listening for their core problems, as opposed to talking at them.
