About My Clients
Do you find it hard to rest when you can't stop thinking about what you are "supposed to be doing" or what "you should have done"? Is it hard to connect to others and sometimes prefer to not even try because you feel hopeless? Do you repeatedly think about an incident even though years have passed by and it still hurts just the same. Together we can work together to manage these thoughts to live a life they love.
My Background and Approach
I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Science in Psychology with Minor in Child and Family Studies and then went on to complete my Master's in Social Work. I am a born and raised New Yorker who believes that this city can provide so much but can also feel very isolating. I have experience in working with individuals who are struggling with a variety of concerns: depression, anxiety relationship issues, difficulty connecting with family, struggling to adjust to life transitions and social challenges. I have worked with individuals who have lived through domestic violence, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. My counseling style is warm, engaging, and non-judgmental so that we can walk the path of healing together. I use a mix of therapeutic styles (psychodynamic, CBT and EMDR) to address trauma that continues to affect how we interact with others.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that there needs to be an increase in access to Mental health treatment and a reduction in the stigma regarding being in therapy. I operate from an anti-oppressive view. I have worked with individuals who struggle to improve themselves due to the nature of the systems we live in. My experience with the child welfare system and working with individuals with criminal injustice involvement have taught me how an opportunity can change someone’s life. I believe that everyone is capable of healing but may not be able to do it on their own without some type of assistance. I am passionate about working with others and enjoy learning the different paths that we all take.
