I received my masters in social work from the Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work. Currently, I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-R) with over 12 years of experience working with a diverse population of families, couples, adults and groups at a large non-profit organization whom suffer from depression, anxiety, panic disorders, personality disorders, AD/HD disorder etc. However, I have particular interest in working with persons, who are struggling with various life transitions such as entering college, retirement, new or ending marriage/ relationship, new mothers and fathers and military families amongst other transitional periods that life brings them to increase their self-esteem as well as to help them gain a deeper understanding of their symptoms so they could led a fulfilling life. Lastly, working with biracial or multicultural individuals or interracial couples that are struggling with various aspects of their selves or relationship such as family issues and/or interpersonal difference is a passion of mine. I have an eclectic approach to therapy but I particularly draw on Psychodynamic, solution focused therapy and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) techniques and tailor them to the individual needs of my clients who are unique in their own ways. If you are seeking a caring, warm, empathic and genuine practitioner, then we would be a good fit. We will work collaboratively to solve problems, increase your self-confidence and create healing so you can live a mentally healthy life.

Hello and welcome to my page. I appreciate the opportunity to assist you on your journey. I work with adults and seniors, individuals, couples, families, and groups struggling with anxiety, depression, and identity issues. I help by allowing you to tell your story, tap into your individual strengths to facilitate healing, achieve greater emotional intelligence, develop healthier communication styles, and overcome your life challenges. Within a strength-based, client-centered environment, I utilize an eclectic approach using elements of solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and positive psychology. It is my intent to teach you the tools and skills you need to rise. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. The reality is that most of the things we will be speaking about will not be new concepts to you. You already have so much to deal with and go through in your everyday life, I get it. It has never been, and never will be my intention to change you or put more on your plate. I invite you to recognize that no matter what you are going through or what challenge you are facing one of these three situations will ALWAYS be true: 1) You already have everything that you need to deal with whatever it is that you are going through 2) You can learn any tool or skill you need to get you through what you're going through 3) You can enlist the support needed to get through what you're going through "Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.” — Cadet maxim
