I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have extensive experience working with children, adult and teens with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, school/career challenges, Autism and ADHD. I also have helped many adults who have experienced trauma and/or abuse and relationship/ career issues.
My counseling style is warm and holistic approach. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I am eclectic in my approach and combine cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and insight oriented therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
