Welcome to my page! I've been practicing clinical social work for 9 years. I graduated from Fordham University with a Masters in Social Work. My clinical experience ranges from individual therapy, group therapy, intensive outpatient therapy, to working with families in-home. My areas of specialty include working with patients with Anxiety, Depression, life transitions, and Borderline Personality D/O from ages 18-65+.
I utilize a warm, direct, and open-minded approach with my patients. In the process of building a rapport, I understand the unique needs of my patients and adapt accordingly, making the experience personal to you. My approach is solution focused and aimed at helping each patient reduce and manage symptoms and improve their quality of life. If you chose to work with me, I will help you challenge ineffective thinking patterns while using a non-judgmental approach.
The overall goal is to not need therapy in the long-term, and I am here to help you accomplish that by making changes in the short term. I will teach you ways to regulate and tolerate the distress of your emotions and enhance problem solving skills. We will work together to increase your confidence which will provide you with a greater sense of control in your life. Not only will this improve the relationship you have with yourself, but it will improve the relationships you have with others.
