Hello, and congratulations on taking the first step in improving your well-being! I am a bi-lingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and have worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families since 2010. I’ve worked in many settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and substance use facilities. My style is understanding, non-judgmental, nurturing, and supportive. You deserve to be seen, heard, and supported! I believe in creating a space where we can have difficult conversations, work on resolving issues, and collaborate on care plans based your personal needs and experiences. My approach is a mix of holistic and solution-focused. This means that I believe in the mind-body connection and encourage anyone working with me to explore mindfulness and meditation. I also believe in a future-focused, goal-directed approach to therapy, and incorporate evidence-based practices in my work (such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy). Finding the right therapist is an important first step in therapy. I invite you to send a Live Chat request so that we can take a quick 10-15 minutes to get to know each other and see if I’m a good fit for you! My schedule is flexible and will suit most routines whether you prefer early morning (7am) sessions, have time at lunch (11am – 1pm), or prefer sessions later in the evening (6-8pm). I usually check messages a few times a day, Monday through Saturday. I offer messaging, live chat, phone sessions and video sessions. Please note that what you see in my calendar may not reflect my only availability so feel free to message me! I look forward to working with you!
