Clients can expect me to be culturally sensitive. I will work collaboratively with each client to help achieve the best results in treatment. After an initial evaluation, I will provide a diagnosis, and over the next 2-3 sessions, we will begin formulating a treatment plan based on goals set by the client. These personal treatment goals will help guide the course of therapy. My experience working with clients from so many different backgrounds has also helped shape my view that everyone, despite our differences and struggles, has so much to offer.
MSW - Social Work, Lehman College
I became a mental health professional in order to help those who are struggling to meet their personal goals. I always wanted to help "level the playing field".
I enjoy cars and completing household projects. I also love to cook new dishes.
I don't use my phone or any electronics for about an hour a day. This helps me to detox from technology and social media. I typically write or meditate during this time.
St. Jude's Hospital and ASPCA. I feel that children and pets are the most vulnerable and need so much help. I try to donate as often as possible.
I like to recharge by exercising at the gym and going on long walks. I enjoy the warm weather during the summertime and watching TV and trying new restaurants during the winter.
