My Background and Approach
I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of NJ with license #44SC05389400, I earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University, a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Kean University, and an Associate’s of Arts in Human Services from County College of Morris. This education, along with twenty years of field experience, has prepared me to collaborate with you and your family with the utmost respect, sensitivity, and strength-focused approach through your therapeutic journey. I have worked with individuals who experienced migration, separation, trauma, changes in their lifestyles, grief, loss, divorce, childhood abuse and transitions, all while offering a safe space for empathy, growth in their challenges and centered treatment on building their current strengths and virtues.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I promote the development of the self, nurturing happiness from within irradiating full human potential, and building on past experiences to create one’s best new days. I empower individualized inner strength and support a mental health journey that is successful for the person and their loved ones. My core values include that each individual and family possess the necessary skills to effectively thrive in their environment. Self-actualization and self-discovery is possible for all and paramount for a stable new day. Self-care balance is necessary for daily human healthy functioning. Increasing emotional intelligence provides a roadmap to a healthy balance. A strength-based approach is a prime component in creating a baseline of skills and experiences. Involving loved ones and the community create a system of support in creating new days. Nature, animals, and spiritual connections facilitate the human experience with mental health. Start your news days with compassion and dialogue!
