Im a Native New Yorker and a Clinal Social Worer, with over 20 years experience in a vareity of settings. My style is best described as warm, understanding, honest and direct.
This is my first career; it has always been my dream to help people. I never envisioned doing anything else in life. I’ve worked in a myriad of settings, ranging from satellite clinics based on early educational settings to social adult daycares (and everything else in between, including hospitals and intensive day treatment). I have completed training to be able to work in these settings, including courses on TF-CBT, motivational interviewing, and mental health first aid.
I am invested in you finding a life worth living. My goal as a therapist is to help clients grow and reach their goals. To allow challenges to help them grow and understand their resilience. My areas of speciality include eating disorders, body image, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal is to facilitate clients to live a life that is consistent with each clients’ values, needs and priorities.
Trauma, relationship issues, and a lifetime of being misunderstood can profoundly impact our emotional wellbeing and sense of self. As a board-certified therapist with 5+ years of experience, I help women with a history of trauma/codependency build confidence; reduce self-harming behaviors; and heal their relationship with themselves. I use strengths-based approaches to help you leverage your unique qualities and reach your goals. I also use relational therapy to help you identify patterns, address attachment wounds, and safely practice trust, vulnerability, and boundaries.
