I am a New York based LCSW with a passion and a vigor for helping others on their mental health journey. I received my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Iona College and my Masters degree in Social work from Adelphi University. My therapy approach comes from a place of compassion. One of my main goals is making sure my client feels as supported, heard and empowered as possible. Therapy is not a one-size fits all and my individualized, integrative approach will reflect that.
My approach to therapy starts with meeting the client where they are. Creating a comfortable space for them to share openly, while helping them articulate their thoughts and feelings to get a better understanding of what is causing their distress. Using combined modalities that encompass aspects of CBT, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness and a Strength Based approach amongst others, the client and I work as a dyad to re-author their past in order to map a more emotionally satisfying present/future.
My intention is that my clients walk away from our sessions feeling a sense of catharsis, accomplishment and hope, in combination with an eagerness to put in the work that is necessary to create positive change in their life. In order to further ensure that what is processed and learned in session can be successfully incorporated into real world practice, homework that encompasses what was covered in session is assigned and reviewed in upcoming sessions.
