Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) psychotherapist with experience working with clients of different backgrounds and ages. I bring a history of using different modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) among others in my work. I also pride myself on being fluent in both English and Spanish since it allows the ability to address a population of New York with diverse cultures who often do not have access to services due to language barriers.
Educated through Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Service, I am always seeking to grow as a person through my work in psychotherapy and encounters with people of all walks of life. By focusing on the tenets of social work such as empathetic understanding, collaborative goal setting, and identifying strengths and resources for each patient before settling on an individualized treatment plan, I hope to bring a better understanding of what makes social work unique for every patient.
Anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and low self-esteem are just some of the myriad of issues people face in today’s world. Although there is much work to be done in terms of making mental health accessible and affordable, therapy alongside the collaborative effort we provide with other professionals can assist you in the often difficult first step in beginning a journey of self-discovery.
