I am currently a middle school social worker and have previous experience working as an inpatient psychiatric social worker with adolescents. I earned my Masters Degree in Social Work from Fordham University with a specialization in Children and Families.
I specialize in supporting children and adolescents experiencing challenges related to self esteem, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, mood disorders, peer conflicts and other social emotional needs.
My approach focuses on creating a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped with tools to navigate everyday challenges and build emotional well-being.
Clients can expect their first session to be a welcoming, supportive and nonjudgmental space where they can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and concerns at their own pace. During the initial session, I focus on getting to know the client as a whole person-including their strengths, challenges, relationships and goals for therapy.
Together, we will begin identifying areas of concern and develop goals that feel realistic and personalized to the client's needs.
My goal is to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered while building healthy coping skills, improving emotional well-being, and strengthening confidence in themselves and their relationships.
