Hello! I'm glad you're here, even if the circumstances that brought you to this page are less than ideal. I am an LCSW in New York who has had the privilege working with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges in both community and clinical settings, helping to navigate life's challenges with compassion, curiosity and practical support.
I see our work together as a partnership, with you as the expert on your own life. I am not someone you can expect to have all the answers, but I will put my best effort forward to work alongside and figure out what works best for you. I take a conversational approach and draw from therapeutic styles including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and Solution Focused therapies to look for themes to explore together and make changes that feel doable. I value being approachable and non-judgmental. You don't have to filter yourself here, whether you laugh, cry, vent or let a few choice words fly.
The first session is a bit more structured than future sessions because I will be asking questions to better understand your background, what's bringing you to therapy, and what you're hoping to get out of it. This helps us work together to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
