I obtained my Master's Degree in Social Work from Stony Brook University in 2005 after studying oppressed and marginalized populations living in and around the NYC region. After working for several years with youth and adults in a variety of settings including in-homes, schools, and health-care settings, I obtained my Licensed Clinical Social Work credentials in 2009. I am also a NJ Certified Social Work Clinical supervisor. I look forward to our time spent together.
Both traditional and modern forms of therapy are utilized. Some patients benefit from CBT which helps re-train past negative patterns of thinking that often lead to suffering. Some patients like to work on breathing and mindfulness techniques to help ground their awareness using Mindfulness Based CBT. For patients hoping for a more direct and goal-oriented approach to therapy, I can help apply the principles of Solutions-Focused therapy aimed at targeting specific life goals.
No two people are the same, therefore no treatment plan should be identical either. Regardless of what we find will work best for you as the patient, all services are delivered with the intention of delivering a meaningful and culturally relevant, person-centered approach.
