I am a licensed clinical social worker and have my masters degree in social work from Columbia University. My clinical orientation is intersectional and holistic. I use a strengths-based approach that empowers my clients to cope with their circumstances and bring positive changes into their lives. I specialize in trauma treatment.
I firmly believe that everyone deserves to share their story in a nonjudgmental and supportive context while gaining insight into the impact their experiences have on their lives. I also believe that unconditional regard for your client is the bedrock of a healthy therapeutic relationship. My core values of the inherent value and dignity of human life and the basic human right to live a healthy and safe life are truly at the core of my clinical orientation and approach.
believe that the client is the expert of their story and I approach the process as a partnership. Before I even start an intake, I encourage clients to ask me any questions about my professional background or the process of therapy. Additionally, I also let them know that they can choose to share what they want with me only if/when they feel safe and comfortable doing so.
