 Overview
 
Welcome to my profile! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social worker and enjoy working with teens and adults in various struggels they may be facing. I take a non-judgemental and compassionate view in addressing the client's issues. This approach creates a warm and safe atmosphere in which helps create a great therapeutic relationship. Often times, my clients share that the warm approach helps clients feel more at ease in sharing what's on their mind.  
 
Educational Experience
 
I completed my masters program in Social Work at Adelphi University, located in Garden City. During my graduate program I also interned at a local inpatient hospital where I worked with children and adults with mental health issues. I learned how to provide short term therapy to clients in crisis and how to assess for self harm or harm of others. I implemented treatment plans for clients with specific goals. 
 
My interest in young children, led me to explore working with special needs kids on the autism spectrum disorder. For 2 years I provided ABA (applied behavior analysis) therapy to kids who had communication and social problems. I also happen to have a child of my own who has ASD. Therefore, I have personal and professional experience as to what it is like to have special needs kids and what it is like to work with them. 
 
In 2013, I started working in a local mental health clinic called Advanced Center for Psychotherapy and continued to provide counseling to inviduals experiencing anxiety and depression. After 7 years working for the clinic I moved on to working privately and providing sessions for adults experiencing life challenges. I was able to provide clients a safe space to tell their story and help them heal from their past. As a result, many clients were able to feel more joy in their lives. I want to help you reach your goals and accomplish what you want in your life, but as you may know if there are challenges in the way it is difficult to experience that joy. It would be importnant to explore the issues at hand and see what your priorities are so that we can create tailored plan for you. 
 
Approaches and Therapies 
 
I have always desired to help people navigate through life's challenges with confidence and tools one can incorporate in his/her life. Utilizing, different approaches taliored for each client is one of my assets. Depending on the client's issues I am able to implement mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as dilectical behavioral therapy. Clietnts also report that  I am a therapist who provides a lot of insight into the client's issues and valuable feedback. My approach is also trauma informed which means I have experience working and knowledge working with those who have PTSD and other traumas experienced. 
 
Each person has a story to tell and sometimes he/she is not validated by those close to them, and this can further the trauma of the individual. Together, we explore and process traumas from the person's life to help him/her live a more fulfilling life.
