Professional Background
LicensureNew York, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, 076922
Work HistoryTherapy is a method of self-care. An opportunity to work through a difficult or challenging time in one’s life by gaining insight, learning tools for understanding & managing one’s reactions and emotions and problem-solving in a way that doesn’t negatively affect our ability to function. My goal is to foster & cultivate an environment for that process to manifest. I seek to achieve that via the use of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Strength-Based Therapy.
