I am a licensed clinical social worker and provide individual and family therapy, parental support, and general consultations to children, adolescents, and adults. I am also SIFI certified and offer clinical supervision to professionals seeking to advance their licensure.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of New York with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a full SIFI certification from NYU and completed my graduate degree at Hunter College School of Social Work, 1 of 50 to earn a full merit scholarship in my class. During my studies I completed additional coursework on trauma-informed treatment and behavioral management skills for parents. Previously, I held a clinical counseling license in the state of Ohio where my training emphasized the treatment of children and adolescents through therapeutic art. I still like to feed my creative side in my practice, often finding ways to utilize art as a form of expression and self care. I strongly believe in the importance of self care and teach various methods on how to execute this need in all aspects of my work.

My approach to therapy is through evidence-based modalities, allowing research outcomes to frame treatment with effectiveness and efficacy. I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), both with and without a trauma-focus (TF-CBT). This modality is fueled by the inter-connected relationships between one's mind, body, and behavior with treatment of Anxiety disorders, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and depression.
I also specialize in behavioral management, using positive reinforcement to develop more desirable behaviors, both in one's personal and professional life. Behavioral management has often demonstrated increased organization and structure needed to live successfully with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as well as reduce problematic Behaviors present in both the home and school.
