About My Clients

Depending on your specific struggles and circumstances, I will design a personalized approach. Various types of psychotherapy will be customized for you. These include: EMDR for trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic- based Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy related approaches, etc. During our sessions, we will utilize techniques and exercises together. Between our sessions, on your own, you will be given tools, all leading to the future that you desire.

My Background and Approach

As an LCSW, I have almost 10 years of social work experience. I was accepted to medical school at 17 years old, and this medical background helps tremendously in understanding the body-mind connection and healing. -I am EMDR trained, and worked with someone who worked closely with the founder of EMDR, and who wrote the EMDR manual. -Because of my medical school experience in neurology, pharmacology, and psychiatry, patients have benefited tremendously since I use that background to dissect the multi-layered situation, untangle and resolve the client’s issues.
