About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in New York with over 15 years of experience providing therapy to women, youth and their families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe it is important to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels,
Congratulations on your courage to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take the next step I am available to provide support as you begin this journey of healing and empowerment.
I look forward to working with you!
