My Approach to Helping
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in New York, NY. I'm passionate about helping clients who experience depression, including as a result of grief or trauma. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed with feelings of sadness, loneliness, disconnection from loved ones, frustration, or a lack of motivation. Other clients find themselves experiencing panic attacks that leave them unable to participate in daily life.
I help these clients by providing them with a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk about their feelings. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, meaning that I help clients make connections between what happens in their lives and their innermost beliefs, desires, and wants. I place heavy emphasis on having a quality therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual regard. My main goal is to help clients learn how to accept themselves and to practice self-care.
I earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I have a certification from the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. My style is collaborative, patient, and kind. I help clients to break out of negative emotional cycles and to move forward with their lives.
