I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credentialed in both New York and Connecticut. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fordham University in 2001 and have dedicated my career to helping clients overcome obstacles. I also hold a post-graduate certificates in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). By skillfully blending psychodynamic and behavioral techniques, I provide a dynamic and customized approach to healing and growth.
In our work together, I blend deep psychodynamic insight with practical, evidence-based strategies. This means we won't just talk about where your patterns come from—we will also collaborate on real, actionable tools you can use to regulate your emotions, build resilience, and thrive in your daily life.
Think of our initial session as a collaborative consultation. My goal is to create a space where you feel entirely heard, not analyzed.
During this session, we will look at the big picture of your life. We will explore your current stressors, touch briefly on your background, and pinpoint the obstacles holding you back. Because my approach blends the insight of psychodynamic therapy with the practical tools of DBT and CBT, we will start identifying areas where immediate coping strategies can give you some relief, while planning how to tackle the root causes over time.
You’ll leave the session with a clear understanding of my therapeutic style and an initial plan tailored to your busy life.
