Therapy is a place to heal from past experiences, develop coping skills, and build confidence. Whether your child is facing negative impacts brought on by bullying, family hardship, or a traumatic experience from the past, counseling can help.
I am a Social Work Supervisee specializing in trauma, coping skills, and emotion management. I graduated with my MSW from Hunter College’s School of Social Work located in New York City with a focus on clinical practice with children, youth, and families. I am currently practicing under the supervision of Helen Henrich, LCSW.
I am especially passionate about using creative ways to build self-esteem and empower children, teens, and families to succeed. My clinical experience has included individual counseling in outpatient and school settings, facilitating groups, and in-home therapeutic mentoring. Additionally I have co-lead Strengthening Families Program for youth and families, lead Parenting Journey groups for parents, co-lead group therapy for high school and elementary girls, taught and developed curriculums for camps and clubs in the Bronx, and helped develop a growing mentoring program for youth in the South Bronx.
I have an engaging approach to treatment, incorporating art, play, and creativity whenever possible to make therapy fun while encouraging self-exploration. In addition to providing individual, group, and family counseling, I am also available to provide therapeutic mentoring services in your home or the community.
I enjoy helping children and teens work through a variety of issues. Some of the most common concerns and goals I hear from parents include:
Accepting Cigna, Optima, some Medicaid plans
