I began my career providing group and individual therapy to clients with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, substance abuse, addiction, thought disorders, and personality disorders. I have provided therapeutic services in both an outpatient day program and in private practice. I have experience working with individuals from ages 6 and up, however, have found my passion is working with young adults. I currently practice as an LCSW in New York State.
I try to provide a safe place for my clients to attend where they can feel supported and comfortable. I believe a therapist should be non-judgmental, so I do my best to be open, honest and sincere with all of my clients, as I feel that it helps to build a strong therapeutic relationship. I use a collaborative approach that incorporates the strengths, skills and interests of my clients into their treatment. Additionally, I use an integrative approach by combining aspects of several therapeutic modalities to best meet the needs of the individual.
I believe by being flexible in my approach I can best support the client as a whole. My ultimate goal is that my clients will leave therapy feeling a new sense of empowerment in their ability to cope with all of life’s challenges.
