Great to meet you!

I have 23 years working in mental health field and 15 years of extensive experience working as a therapist. I am a dedicated and empathetic clinician devoted to helping clients from all walks of life through challenging times. I obtained my master's in social work from Fordham University, my Credentialed in Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) coursework from Long Island University and my Applied Behavior Analysis Certificate from St Joseph's University.

My approach to therapy

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches such as strength based, client-centered, humanistic, mindfulness, CBT, trauma- informed care and motivational interviewing in my practice tailored to each client’s unique experiences to create an individualized plan for treatment in order to assist them with overcoming their challenges.

What you can expect from me

I provide an integrative holistic approach in a warm, supportive, non-judgmental and safe atmosphere for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. I create a supportive environment where clients are the experts in their lives, and we collaborate to improve their relationships and meet their lives’ goals.

I enjoy working with diverse populations; I treat depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, transitions, trauma, substance abuse, general mental health, adjustment disorder, relationship issues, career difficulties and life challenges.
